Hi Redwing210,
When I stepped up from a 300mm lens, I tried many makes. I have to say that in the end I settled for a Canon EF100-400mm F4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. I managed to purchase one on THAT auction site for £750.00. It had a full 3 year warranty and I have to say, I have never looked back. It is fantastic and with the IS it is great for that impromtu hand held or low light shot. Well worth the money in my book....

Canon 100-400mm use one now on a 40D before that on a 20D - Brilliant Lens.
Now being put out at around 1000 notes plus you get 70 back from Canon in their cash back if you buy before 31st December

there aren't many 400mm lenses with IS in Canon fit, I think you're either looking at the Canon 100-400 as others have recommended, or the Sigma 80-400 OS. Of the two I think the Canon is better.
Your best non-IS option would be a Canon 400mm f5.6 prime, which is what I went for.

Thanks Matt, I have not yet used a lens with IS, are there any outlets that let you try before you buy? |

I can also recommend the 100-400. It's a big heavy lens, but what 400mm isn't? You have the advantage of the zoom if you need and it's L glass with IS and USM. Kerso sells them for around £840 plus if you ask nicely he can knock off some more. That, plus your Canon cashback is a good deal.
