Hello! I'm a beginner photographer looking to buy a 70-300 lens alongside my 70D. I don't know which lens to choose because they're basically the same. Same focal length, no IS, has AF. Which one should I choose? Also, I've been avoiding the Canon 75-300 because I've heard it's terrible. Is that true? Thanks in advance!

neither of those lenses are spectacular, try find a EF-S 55-250 STM (not I or II) , similarly priced but much better sharpness -
Huh. I've been avoiding that lens because the zoom is way less! (480mm vs 250mm). Also, my budget has increased. Now I can buy either the Tamron 70-300 USD or Canon 70-300 IS. Now which one should I buy?Originally posted by Sennoeca View PostComment

Most of my photos here were taken with the EF - S 55 - 250 STM IS. A good compromise if you do not shoot at the extreme focal length.
On the other hand, I used the Tamron 100 - 400 VR for a long time. This is also a good compromise if you do not push it to the extreme focal lengths. Let it be clear, they are good lenses but not always suitable for the JP standard due to the tendency to be soft at the extreme focal lengths.

more zoom doesn't mean sharper quality, the 55-250 STM is literally the best budget apsc lens out there for a reason. check the image quality comparison I've attached. you can use it to compare against the Tamron and make your own conclusions if you'd like.Originally posted by d3nizuy4n View Post
If you must buy a 70-300 zoom try the EF 70-300 II, otherwise as mahagonny said Tamron 100-400 is also a great lens at a relatively affordable price.Comment
