DUDE!! the eternal debate..new ferarri or new zoom lens....
You guys were supposed to say..yeah dude, get the cheaper one your never going to be able to tell the difference, plus, its not like your photos end up anywhere but on this site anyways... forget the bleeding edge hype. |
haha, that is always stated by people that cannot afford it. 
In general, and this is super evident in lenses..cheaper lenses will have cheaper glass / plastic, and they do lose a lot of color range. Cheaper lenses will have a clear color loss, and distortion. In addition having IS on a zoom lens is super nice....well I am talking from the "other" end...I have a cheap zoom lens, and I will buy a good one once I get more money.

One thing to remember, on the 70-200 canons, both F4 and F2.8, you get more than just IS with the IS models. You also get better sealing against moisture & blowing sand. The non-IS 2.8 is supposed to be a little sharper than the IS version.
At the price you're looking at for the 2.8 Brian, you could probably get all of your money back if you decide to sell and move up to the IS version. |

| That's what I figured. for $800 I could probably make a little money on it. Figured I would pull the trigger on it this evening. |
