canon eos 20d
I think the answer is: I can and have, with fairly good to great results,
but can you? You need to think about what you are doing, use available rests, and all the other things that go with it. Are you shooting: sports, landscapes, inside caves; it depends on how you use it. But to be fair, I would shot short and crop! my cannon 300 got used very little compared to my 200. A! and 10D Jim "Lionel" wrote in message ... Kibo informs me that "L.C." stated that: It is possible to use a 75-300 lense without a tripod, but my policy is to use a tripod as much as possible. What is possible and what is smart is not always the same thing. It is very difficult to hand hold long lenses without degrading the image. I've shot handheld many times with my 10D & my ancient EF 100-300mm/F5.6L (480mm effective) zoom, & get acceptable results at anything faster than 1/500. The lower I go from there, the more shots I lose to camera shake, but it's not an unusable combination. How many of those photographers on the sidelines of sporting events are using those lenses without at least a monopod? True, but those guys are usually shooting with lenses *much* longer & heavier than a consumer EF 75-300. Plus, they're shooting for hours, which really tires out your arms (resulting in much more shake) if you don't use some sort of support. That said, I completely agree that it's preferable to use some sort of support if it's at all feasible. -- W . | ,. w , "Some people are alive only because \|/ \|/ it is illegal to kill them."

Canon should be totally ashamed of this (and some others too) HP got this basic and absolutely essential thing right in their little digicam that's cheap even for a P&S, so why can't Canon?!!
