What would be a decent telephoto lens to get for our older Cannon EOS Rebel XT DSLR?
We've heard of other non Cannon brands of lenses but aren't sure of what is good. We are amateurs at photography and just want maybe the next step up from the standard 18-55mm lens that came with the camera. We'd use it mostly for outdoors and nature and don't want to have to use a tripod every time we want to use the telephoto. If that makes sense.
I'd go with the Canon 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS lens. It doesn't offer as much reach as the 75-300mm/70-300mm and doesn't have the optical quality of the 70-300mm, but @ 300mm you're going to start getting lens sway, resulting in blurry images and you'd almost need a tripod for sharp pictures at that focal point. Since you'd like to stay away from tripods, I'd go with the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS. Relatively cheap, good optical quality for the money, good reach with the 250mm, and doesn't require a tripod.
