Cons: -AF speed slower than Canon F2.8 300mm prime -Weight...but there is plenty of glass -No IS (but the newer version has it...)

Pros: -Sharpness from F3.2> -The only F2.8 120-300 zoom out there for Canon -Versatility, Bokeh at F2.8 -Takes extenders well -Well formed+solid tripod/monopod ring which can be used for carrying the lens+camera combination -Solid build -Value for money

Summary: Versitily sharp zoom for reasonable price. Just not for serious action sports due to limited AF speed.
