Hi,
I am thinking about purchasing the Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 EF IS USM autofocus lens. I am interested about the Image stabalizer. I was told that it is an ideal for using a low shutter speed without a tripod. I am wondering if it could solve a problem I was experiencing with my current lens.
In shooting indoor sports like basketball, I have a lens without at constant aperture. As a result I try to keep the shutter as low as possible to allow more light in. This low unfortunately is 1/400. If I go any lower, I get fuzzy subject but slightly brighter pictures. I am just wondering if the Image stabilizing system would work in my situation by allowing me to lower the shutter speed to something like 1/250 so that I can allow more light without fuzzy subjects.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Hugh
