I have a Canon 70 - 300 Nano that is sharp, lightweight, and not very expensive in today's terms.

Look for Nano on the lens.

I agree, get the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM (with the little LCD) It's one of canons better (perhaps even the best) non L tele zooms. And with very fast focusing because of the use of NANO USM

@Fat Nerd:

An other option would be the Canon RF 24-240mm F4-6.3 IS USM also very quick (NANO USM also) and a perfect companion for traveling light. And does deliver good quality pictures

And with the 24-240 you have a native RF mount lens covering 24-240mm.

All the telezoom lenses you mention are low budget lenses and older models. they may not deliver the best qualty compaired to newer lenses available

Thanks everyone for their input, I am sure not to get those old USM zooms as it seems to be sacrificing everything else for the sake of some weight savings

The long term dream lens would be the 24-240mm. It'll allow me to leave the 24-70mm at home and is lighter than that lens + the EF-RF adapter. I guess I'll have to get it as a gift for myself during any upcoming occasions
