Canon EF 70-200/4L USM vs. Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens ?
In your opinion, what is a better camera for someone who doesn't like to use a tripod. I know the Canon EF 70-200/4L USM doesn't have image stabalizer while the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Autofocus Telephoto Zoom Lens does, but it seems better in a lot of other areas. Does the 200 still work well without a tripod to the point you'd recommend it over the 300 for non-tripod users?
I'm thinking of getting a canon 30D and i would be shooting both outdoor and indoor with natural and artificial light.
- definitely can't afford the Canon 100-400 IS - can't do more than $600.
- I would be shooting all things, but the majority would be:
outdoors: landscapes, & portraits;
indoors: portraits & macro still life
thanks 
It's all down to the conditions under which you're going to shoot and the camera you are using. If you have lots of light you can use the 300 without a tripod. The same is true if you camera maintains good quality at high ISO settings.
Canon's L-series lenses are certainly better-made than the others and are expensive as a result, but well worth it. Someone said they're built like tanks, which is true, but they also weight like one, which can make them tiring to use.
BTW, the 70-200L f4 USM also exists in an IS version. I just ordered one to use on a 5D mk II. I do very little shooting with a tripod.
