Canon 70-200mm L non-IS vs. 70-200mm L with-IS

Left elbow resting on raised left knee.

I was sitting on my arse yesterday and was able to place the lens ring mount foot on my knee! I'm pretty flexible though, and have a long lens plate. Also used your stance, and even one army man layout!

Guess I better get at those grass stains today

oxi clean max force spray works a treat on those grass stains.

I wear knee pads under the slacks and end up with grass stain cleat marks on them!

Hi guys

I am a proud owner of a 7D and take full advantage of the video ( One of the key reasons for buying)

I am just about to purchase either the IS or Non-IS and am mostly thinking about the video aspects after hearing that the 70-200 was recently used in one of 30 seconds to mars new music videos "Kings and Queens" on a 7d Body.... however they did not say if it was a IS or Non-IS ...

anyway ... i was just wondering if anyone has any experience using video with the lens and if its worth the IS as i have herd and image stabilizer especially as gd as the canons work of art is WELL worth it??

COMMENTS PLEASE ...and quick im getting it this weekend for SURE

Since this link has been resurrected, has anyone compared the Canon 200mm f/2.8 L prime with this lens? It's a heck of a lot less expensive.

For video, especially off a tripod, it's almost impossible to get a clean shot without some kind of IS system. This is even more the more you zoom in.

I can't find any online comparisons, either. Sorry. But chances are it's optically (far?) superior to the 70-200mm f/2.8 L @ 200mm.

User reviews on FM are overwhelmingly positive:

FM Reviews - EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM

What I'd really love to see is a comparison of the 200 f/2.8 plus the 2X TC with Canon's 400mm f/5.6. That would save me an incredible hunk of change.
