As for "lens motor noise" that some have reported, it sounds no different to me than any other lens of the type on any other camera. I also have a Nikon D5000 with a similar lens and compared the two - there is no difference.
I am perfectly satisfied with this purchase and feel absolutely comfortable recommending it to others.

Update: After another month of use I'm updating this review to discuss the lack of image stabilization. I haven't found camera shake to be an issue at all while shooting in the daylight. I've used this lens to take perfect images of birds from a long distance. I also recently did some sunset photography at the beach, although I used a tripod for that due to the low-light conditions (sorry about the lens flare but I uploaded all of the clean shots to iStock already). I haven't missed the lack of IS except when shooting in HDR.
The autofocus, on the other hand, is a little slow, so it's not great for video or for getting long-range shots of a fast-moving target.
Another Update: After more than a year of use, I'm reducing this to 4 stars now that I have upgraded to the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD and see a major difference. VC is Tamron's image stabilizer and it makes a massive difference. I almost never need the tripod during daylight. It's a heavier lens, but not having to carry the tripod around on hikes more than makes up for it. Also, the USD (USM on Canon lenses) is fast and accurate, so I actually use autofocus instead of always using manual like I did on the Canon EF 75-300 III. Finally, I love having full-time manual which allows me to fine-tune the focus using the focus ring without having to flip the switch from auto to manual.
In short, the Canon EF 75-300 III is still a solid and affordable option for a beginner. You'll get a lot of practice with switching to manual focus and using a tripod. When you are ready to spend 5xs as much money on an infinitely better lens, check out my full review of the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD.

La publicidad dice que incluye el KIT de limpieza y un Filtro UV, pero eso no es verdad; únicamente incluye el lente.
El producto viene empacado en una caja de CANON, y con sellos de garantía.
