Anyone knows when it's coming out?
And what's the diff between 70-200 vr and 70-300 vr? Why is 70-200 more expensive?

70-200 is a constant f2.8... most probably gives you better image quality as well..

 

[dzignous]

Metal construction therefore tougher.

The 70-300 VR is already out in the market. You can checkout the camera stores.

The 70-200 is more expensive because it positioned a professional lens unlike the
70-300 VR which is a consumer lens.

Built quality, Picture quality, color contrast, stauration and sharpness are totally different.

You may consider the 80-200 f2.8, its a very good lens too. use to be the champ before the
70-200.
