There's no need to download any new software - just press the play button in the middle of the screen below and wait for the video to start; you may need to press the button twice. The quality and any delay before playing may vary depending on your internet connection.

Effective anti-shake IS capability
Fast and quiet USM focusing motor
Polariser-friendly internal focusing

Relatively expensive (at list price)
Corners slightly soft at telephoto end
24-70 f/2.8L has better build and focusing
17-40mm f/4L an affordable alternative
