Title: Poor quality
Review: Very poor quality. It died on me twice, each time on an exotic trip - horribly disappointing! Both auto and manual focus stopped functioning. Canon fixed it for free the first time, the second time it was no longer covered by warranty. I probably took just 300-400 shots with it total! It appears that a lot of Canon products - unless you buy the most expensive ones - are having quality problems. (My lens was made in Japan, BTW). The Toyota syndrome? Would like to buy it again, hoping that I may be be lucky this time - but do I want to risk spending over $300 just to see it die somewhere in Burma or Borneo while getting ready for one of those on-my-god shots, which is exactly what happened to me TWICE?
