The Pros And Cons Of The Cannon 6473a003 Telephoto Lens

By Marissa Potter


If you are looking for an excellent EF series telephoto lens, a high end model, then consider the Cannon 6473a003. It is ideal for the casual, beginner, non-professional photographer. It is versatile, being appropriate for use in photographing landscapes, wildlife, wedding photos, doing portraits, and taking those sports action shots.

Just as with other things, there are both pros and cons for this lens. Depending on the photographer, you will get different reports of its performance. Depending on how it will be used, some report it a good option, and others report it as less than satisfactory. Some of the poorer reports may be due to the fact it is mostly used by beginners, who may have problems with it due to their lack of experience and skill.

A pro is its interchangeability and versatility. It works on several Cannon camera bodies, which is great for the person who uses more than one camera for certain situations. This lens is easily and quickly swapped out, making it ideal for the person who wants to travel light and carry only one lens. It is versatile as well, making it ideal for that purpose, as fewer lenses will need to be carried along. It can be used for most purposes, so may be the only one needed.

This model is lightweight and very durable, perfect for those situations that might result in dropping or other rough treatment, such as for traveling or filming sports events. Strong and rugged, it has little chance of being easily damaged.

Not everything is perfect for this item. There are some disadvantages as well. Some have complained of its being slow to focus and blurry. Its performance in low light is less that great according to some. Under low light, there is some AF hunting and lens creep.

Though it could or could not be a con, this lens is designed to be used by amateurs and beginners. This means it is easy enough to use, but may not have the features needed for more heavy weight use. This may also be the cause of some of the poorer reviews, as the beginner may be experiencing difficulty that is not the result of the lens itself but of their inexperience and lack of skill in its use.

Taking a few precautions before buying this lens will insure that you get what you want and are satisfied with your purchase. One thing to consider is what you intend to use it for. You can then compare different models equally. An online search, comparing traits that are important to you, will enable you to get the best cost for what you need.

Another consider for deciding on the Cannon 6473a003 is to decide whether or not you want to buy used. A used one is much less expensive, but you are not sure how it was cared for. It may have been dropped or scratched or damaged in some other way. Buying new will cost more, but will more likely insure you get a perfect product and have a warranty in the rare event of a defect.
