hi everyone, ive just sold my sigma 70-300 dg macro to help fund my next lens. the problem i had with the sigma was it was a little soft at full zoom, and had no I.S.. now ive been looking at the canon 70-300 is usm as an upgrade, but this isnt far off the price of a 70-200 L usm. is the canon 70-300 worth the money as an upgrade or should i change lens size altogether bite the bullet and go "L"? i dont have a great deal to play with probably about £400

i like to shoot mainly action and wildlife. so i want a fast focus etc, but also I.S. Question is do i really need I.S. Is I.S. really that good? i nearly always shoot handheld and not with a tripod.............
