The best zoom lens for less than $1000 is the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Lens. This one is only $630.00 and is rated 5 stars out of 5 at squidoo.com.

The Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 is an L series zoom lens, and that alone is a mark of quality. Canon's L series (the L stands for luxury), is a range of lenses that are aimed at professional photographers. This one comes with image stabilization and Canon's quick and quiet ultrasonic lens motor. The 70-200mm range is great for portraits and far off subjects, while the constant f/4 aperture means that you will have good low light and background blurring capabilities. It is versatile, extremely sharp, and lightweight compared to the 70-200mm f/2.8. Best of all, the $630 price tag means that it is an affordable L series lens that doesn't need a professional's photographer's camera or budget!

I'd love to hear from the Nikon camp, as well.
