Canon EF 75-300mm Lens vs EF-S 55-250mm STM Lens

What's better, the Canon 75-300mm EF lens, or the Canon 55-250mm EF-S STM lens? Both are very popular options for beginner/entry-level photographers, but which one will work better for you? I'm about to review both these lenses, take them through numerous tests, and find out which one is going to work best for you!
NOTE: If you purchase a lens from these links, I do receive a bit of a commission, BUT the primary reason for leaving these is because there are multiple versions of both lenses, so the ones I link here are the versions I tested in this video!

    I like that "screw it" line, and "use whatever gear you have", too. That was motivational bc it's easy to get discouraged over gear.

    Don't forget y'all, uf you have an APS-C sensor, this lens is 88-400mm.

    you're right, always sleep in 90 min intervals. as long as you wake up on every 90 min mark, youll wake up ready to bounce.

    Great video! You deserve a lot more subscribers. I think I’m going to get the 55-250.

    Watched this video a day after I got my 55 to 250mm lens, I’m happy with my choice.

    Thank you so much for helping me out! I have been struggling between the two lenses for a week now... I'm going to keep the 55-250 and return the 75-300 😁

    Great review! Really useful info for helping me decide. You touched on all my questions and the tests you ran on both provided some great information. Also appreciate that you didn't crap on the other lens despite it not yielding the best results. Thanks!

    Great breakdown and nice filming on the vlog Josh! I got the Canon M50 and looking to get the 55-250 for it. I do a lot of golf vlogs so I need a good lens with a long focal length that has IS. Thanks again bud! Keep it up!

    I have them both, I got 75-300mm as kit lens along with 18-55mm when I bought my first DSLR T6i. I took decent cityscape at night with 77-300mm, the result was outstanding probably because I used tripod that night. However, I used it only twice then I got 55-250mm after couple of months so I decided to sell my 75 since it was still brand new. When I went to photography shop (Henry's) they told me they buy it for 20$!!! "Heck no" I said..... I rather keep it than giving you for free so you can sell it for 98$ at least (I live in Canada). So I kept it :)

    Good video. I've had the 75-300 for a while and just picked up the 55-250 last week at a pawn shop. So far, I agree 100% with what you said in this video. Wish I'd seen this before today, would have got the 55-250 a long time ago.

    Great comparison, thank you! I just got a T7 (1500D) and have been looking to get my second lens, and have been on the fence between the 70-300 EF and the 55-250 EF-S (with IS and STM AF). This confirms for me I will be getting the 55-250.
