Fantastic Wild Animal Park Pics with 30D + Canon 100-400

Brandon Berg shares with us a number of truly amazing handheld images taken in RAW at the San Diego Wild Animal Park.

Equipment was 30D + Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens.

Many of the images were shot at shutter speeds slower than the requisite minimum 1/400 sec at 400mm focal length (1/640 sec if the 1.6x crop factor of the CMOS sensor is taken into account), a testament to the capability of the image stablization feature of this lens.

Brandon remarks that this 100-400 lens performed very much better on his 30D than on the previous sample mounted on the Canon 350D camera.
