Hi,

I am pondering whether to buy the Canon EF 70-200mm F/4L USM with or without IS. There is obviously a significant difference in price. I am wondering if this is apparent in the potential image quality in combination with a 60D? Build quality of the lenses seems to be rather similar. And I am wondering if that IS is of any real significance in every day shooting, especially sports photography indoor, outdoor, sunny days, cloudy days, etc.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

a lens with IS will definitely prove its worth when shooting handheld. no matter how stable you hold your camera, there will be some minimal shake and that will definitely get you creepy output unless your IS is turned on. its not always possible to shoot with a tripod...so go for the IS lens. Its worth the investment.
