Are the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS EF Telephoto Zoom Lens USM

Are the Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS EF Telephoto Zoom Lens USM 0345B006AA and 0345B002AA the same lens?

They should be the same lens. I suspect they are just from a different "product run"
Here is a link that shows even more codes for the same lens:  Canon product numbers

  • Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR

    Want to know if the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras will fit and work with the EOS Rebel XTi camera.

    Absolutely. Just remember to learn how to hold all the extra weight steady when using it. Mine sees a lot of use, but it took a while to adjust to it's weight. .

  • What's the best Telephoto Zoom lens for canon rebel T3??

    Hi, i have a canon rebel t3 and i want a telephoto lens , but i don't know which lens to take between Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM and Canon EF-S IS 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS II, I generally like to shoot street, abstract and nature photos and I'm not sure which lens is going to be more suitable to my needs...

    Vasanthkumar and Sami:
    There are actually 3 lenses that are pretty similar in range and price:  the 55-250, the 70-300 and the 75-300.  Of the 3, the 75-300 is rated poorest quality.
    Here is a tool that lets you compare image quality between 2 lenses.  You can even see them at different lengths and at different apertures.
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/ISO-12233-Sample-Crops.aspx
    And here are reviews of all 3 lenses:

    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-75-300mm-f-4-5.6-III-USM-Lens-Review.aspx
    http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-S-55-250mm-f-4-5.6-IS-Lens-Review.aspx
    Among the 3, I would choose the 70-300 IS.  It has Image Stabilization, and for the price it really has good image quality.
    My 2nd choice would be the 55-250 IS.  Same reasons as above.  I actually owned this lens for a while, and it was indeed capable of taking a sharp picture.
    I personally would not go with the 75-300.  No IS, for one thing.  More importantly, it is not very sharp according to reviews.  The small price savings vs. the 2 better lenses would not be worth it to me if all my photos suffered noticably. 
    To quote the review above on this lens, "If you care about great image quality and sharp photos, the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Lens is not for you. And Photoshop cannot enhance details that are not there."
    Good luck!

  • Will my 70-300 Canon Zoom lens + a 2x multiplier function on a new EOS T3i

    Will  my 70-300 Canon Zoom lens + a Canon 2x multiplier function on a new EOS T3i?

    Basically.... no.
    As far as I know, Canon 2X Extenders (teleconverters) cannot even be fitted to any of the 70-300mm lenses. The Canon Extenders all have a protruding front element that prevents them from even being attached to quite a few lenses. They can be fitted to the 70-200mm zooms, as well as the prime lenses 135mm and longer.
    A third party 2X would physically fit onto the lens. But.... Most 70-300mm are f3.5-5.6 aperture lenses. With a 2X on them two stops of light are lost to the teleconverter, so the lens/TC combo becomes and effective 140-600mm  f7.1-11 lens. Your camera will stop autofocusing with smaller than f5.6 aperture lenses (only 1D-series and 5D Mk III can still focus at f8, even they would fail to focus at f11). Your could still manually focus, except the viewfinder will be quite dim to try to do so.
    And, frankly, I wouldn't expect much in terms of image quality. A strong (2X) teleconverter on a zoom lens is often not a great combo.
    My advice would be to save up for a longer focal length lens... Something I use a lot, which has good image quality and  focuses very well, even in combination with a Canon 1.4X teleconverter, is Canon EF 300mm f4 IS lens. There is also the Canon 400mm f5.6 lens, but it lacks IS (so plan on using a tripod or at least a monopod). If you prefer a zoom there are the Canon 100-400mm IS and  Sigma 120-400mm OS or 150-500mm OS. I hear that Tamron is developing a new 150-600mm VC lens that's supposed to be competitively priced, but I don't know when that will be available or have any advance info on it's performance or image quality.
    Besides these options... get closer to your subjects. That's often going to give better results, anyway, since with longer focal lengths you'll be shooting from a greater distance, it's much harder to get a steady shot, plus there often can be various atmospheric effects that reduce image quality too.

  • What are the settings for Primere Elements 9 if I've filmed with a Canon Powershot sx50 HS?

    I just got this camera and I want the best quality possible. Unfortunately, it's hard for me to fully know if the settings I try create that. I get a fuzz or noise on objects like if I'm wearing a black jacket it's like static. When I put the video on my phone which is an Android Galaxy s4 it converts it into mp4 format and I get much more clear results than on my computer which perplexes me. I did a lot of trial and error with my previous camera (JVC Full HD Everio) which I got the same results. My newer Canon should be leagues ahead of the JVC, but I really can't tell as of yet. If anyone could help that would be awsome. I have examples of my trials and errors from my Youtube videos which you can see I felt I was slowly making progress with the JVC Oppositeofhood - YouTube

    Then I saw your latest post
    Wait, I think I just found it. I pressed record on different settings to take pictures with like portrait to see if it would make a difference and when I uploaded them to my computer I found where it shows the BIt rate and it varied. They run at 23 frames per second 1920 x 1080 MOV video files and all the Bit rates are like 36,356 35,414 ,36,521
    If your camera is recording with a variable bitrate, the Bitrate variations from file to file should not be contributing to the issue. But it does raise the issue related to whether or
    not we are setting the appropriate bitrate level in the export settings. What are the units for 36,356, 35,414, and 36,517 -
    kbps (also can be written Kbps) and is kilobits per second
    or
    Mbps which is megabits per second.
    Let us try this for one of your 1920 x 1080p24 videos.
    Go through the following workflow
    Manually set project preset...
    NTSC
    DSLR
    1080p
    DSLR 1080p24
    When you go to export your edited Timeline content, then use
    Share
    Computer
    QuickTime
    with Presets = NTSC DV 16:9 - that is going to be customized to 1080p24 (H.264.mov) under the Advanced Button/Video Tab of that preset
    The essential settings under the Advanced Button/Video Tab
    Video Codec = H.264
    Frame Width = 1920
    Frame Height = 1080
    Frame Rate = 23.976
    Field Type = Progressive
    Aspect = Square Pixels (1.0)
    Now here is where we are going to experiment....
    Bitrate
    Check Mark next to Limit Data Rate to and type in 36000 before kbps
    note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
    Repeat the whole process but in export
    Remove the check mark next to Limit Data Rate. The Bitrate field will be disabled.
    note the file size of the export as well as the quality of the playback.
    We will be watching for your results.
    Thanks.

  • Looking for a canon with the same features as SD1100IS. What are the next 3 models after SD1100?

    Husband's canon SD1100 was stolen.  We're trying to replace it with another but 1100s are not available.  What are the next 3 or so models past the SD1100 that would have the comparable features, speed and ease of operation? 

    Hi A-Mo,
    I'm very sorry that your husband's PowerShot SD1100 IS was stolen!
    The SD camera line has been replaced by the PowerShot ELPH lineup. These cameras are improved in a number of important ways, such as better zoom lenses, and sensitivity to light for existing light photography.
    I recommend that you consider the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS. This camera has an 8x optical zoom lens (vs. 3x for the PowerShot SD1100 IS), has a higher ISO of 3200 (vs. 1600) for low light photography and shoots video in "full" high definition (1920 x 1080 resolution) (vs. 640 x 480).
    Please note: none of the cameras in this group of cameras includes the optical viewfinder you had on the PowerShot SD1100 IS,
    I hope this is helpful.

  • What are the chances that an actual timestamp will be added to the Canon XF200 ?

    I shoot depositions for a living and a timestamp is required sometimes. I upgraded to the XF200 from the XHA1s. the XHA1s had a timestamp so i assumed the XF200 would as well. I saw inthe manual that the time and date could be displayed so I bought the camera. you have to manually turn off all displays except the date and time. This works as long as you dont have to change your aperture, wb, or other settings.  When you change any of these the display pops up and is also recorded.  I'm just wondering why Canon would get rid of the timestamp.  I asked if they could add it using a firmware update but all they said was that enough people need to ask for it. What is enough?

    "What are the odds that my hard drive will be salvageable?"
    Very very good, it's all sealed and only a large electrical surge or dropping it while running could do some damage.
    Take it and use a SATA to USB adapter you can get online for $12-$40 and hook it right up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to transfer files.
    OR you can access the drive directly and on a PC with MacDrive installed.
    However the Mac itself is likley a goner.

  • What are the correct settings for the Canon 5D mark II in FCP 7 ?

    I am shooting full HD at 23s97 fps.. tried making a preset for the Canon but when I import fils FCP always wants to change to appropriate settings for this file type but doesn't tell me what that is...
    (latest firmware installed)
    Please, can someone provide all the correct settings for me?
    And also, why doesn't the camera show up on the desktop/in the menus when attached to the mac? I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera... and FCP doesn't see it either. That's just not right - FCP MUST recognise my camera!! : (
    Please help - I don't want to start editing until I have the right settings for this footage.
    Thanks
    Jim

    Welcome to the Boards
    Not sure what you mean with the following, looks like a word dropped?
    I have ro use EOS utility every time I want to get anything off of the camera...
    Anyway, some more specs on your system could help point where the issue is. With the new Plug-In by Canon you can Log & Transfer from the Flash Card (not sure how you connected the camera.) Alternatively you could just drag the files in (but make sure to keep all files such as THM in case you use Log and Transfer later.)
    Generally it is best to transcode to Pro Res to be able to work with the files in Final Cut. (Log & Transfer should do that, or using Compressor/Mpeg Streamclip.)
    It (Final Cut) is probably changing the timeline to match the codec, or depending on your last preset used, just switching things around. In other words if you were editing in DV and had a set up for that, new sequences would default to that and if you try to ad anything else you will get the message.
    Take a look at the search over there -> to look for the Canon 5D threads for some more info.
    What I would do is just pull one of the clips in to start and look at what the sequence settings are aftr Final Cut changes them for you - they should be fine generally, though you will want to change Codecs to Pro Res.
    I like just batch conversion of all my clips from the 5D Markk II and then work from there. (I do not hook up the camera to the computer, just use a card reader.)

  • Which Canon HD camcorders are the easiest to use with my MacBook Pro?

    Hi!
    I have a MacBook Pro with Leopard OS, 2GB and imovie 7.4. We are researching HD camcorder options and really like the Canon HG20 or 21 but have concerns for ease of use with my macbook. We won't be doing much editing and really just want to record our vacations on our camcorder and be able to show them on our HDTV's (1080i). If I understand the process, we would have to download our hard disk from the camera into the computer and then copy it to a DVD? Will my computer copy the high def. and if so can I run it on our regular DVD player or would we need a Blu-Ray?
    Maybe a better question would be what would be your recommendations for a Canon HD camcorder that is the easiest to use with my MacBook? Would we be better off to go to one with flash disc as opposed to the hard disk? We need to keep this process as simple as possible! Thanks much for any advice or info!

    You have been mis informed the MacBook Pro Retina does NOT work with the Apple Remote natively.
    The Remote is infra red and your computer doen't have an infra red receiver onboard.
    You need to purchase an external infra red receiver as well such as this

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!

  • Will the extender ef 2x iii work with the ef 28-300mm 3.5/5.6L. IS USM

    Will this work with the ef 28-300mm 3.5/5.6L IS USM? Just came from the motorcycle races over the weekend and wish I had a little more length, are there any focusing issues when these two pieces are paired together? Thanks for the information.

    If you buy a 2x teleconverter and are going to use it on any lens other than the ones listed below, you are probably not going to be happy with the result, if it works at all:
    - Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
    - Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II
    - Canon 200mm f/2 IS
    - Canon 300mm f/2.8 IS or IS II
    - Canon 400mm f/2.8 IS or IS II
    - Canon 500mm f/4L IS or IS II
    - Canon 600mm f/4L IS or IS II
    The 200 f/2.8L would also be a nice lens to use with a 2X extender.

  • Shutter speed verses sharpness: Canon 6d @300mm no IS.

    I recently sent my camera back to Canon for recalibration after I noticed all of my telephoto shots seems to be fuzzy after cropping. The results came back and they basically found nothing wrong with the camera or lens..
    My question is based on the results below is there a shutter speed for taking telephoto shots where the sharpness falls off due to internal vibration of some sort?
    I am also at a loss as to why mirror lockup ,(with MF) would not be the same as a shot using live view with AF.
    Is there shutter movement that occurs during mirror lockup using eyeview that does not occur using LiveView AF?
    (I have not performed this test at higher shutter speeds due to internal lighting issues)
    I performed these tests using the following fixed points:
    RAW mode
    focal length 300
    Fstop 5.6
    ISO 200
    Shutter speed 1/60
    No IS enabled
    Camera mounted.
    All shots were taken with 10 second shutter delay
    Calibration target area is dead center of focus area.
    Here are the tests I performed:
    1.LiveView AF mode: sharp as a tack consistently
    2.LiveView Quickmode: slightly less sharp but still extremely good
    3.EyeView Miror Lockup,(switched to MF after allowing LiveView AF mode to find focus)
    4.EyeView No MirrorLock,(switched to MF after allowing LiveView AF mode to find focus)
    1.LiveView AF mode
    2.LiveView Quickmode
    3. Eyeview Mirror lockup
    4.Eyeview NO Mirror lock
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1/60 second is usually too slow with a 300mm lens. Even with IS, which the Exif data say you're not using, it would be problematical.
