Improved at 300mm
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 USM IS II announced - toni-a - 09-15-2016
If we consider the sales the best selling lenses aren't the best ones but the cheapest: 18-55 50f1.8 and 75-300, so those lenses are worth an upgrade.
They are upgrading 70-300 but IMHO the cheapo 75-300 deserves a second look, they are selling thousands maybe millions of it

The 75-300mm was replaced with the 70-300mm. Now the 70-300mm is replaced with version II.
The one that they are selling a lot of: EF-S 55-250mm IS STM.
Looks like a solid upgrade!
Quite an improvement at 300mm (almost up to Sony FE 70-300mm G OSS and Canon 70-300mm L level), no rotating front element anymore, and much improved fast AF. For a very decent price.

BTW the new EFs 18-55 STM is quite decent too compared to my old 18-55 I got as kit with my 300D, the difference is obvious.

Yes indeed, the 18-55mm STM is quite a bit better optically.

The cheapo 75-300 is irredeemable. If it is to be fixed, so much needs to be revised about it that you'll be looking at a lens about the price of this new 70-300. I'm wondering why they're still selling it as new - in kits with cheapest Rebels that would've benefitted more from the 55-250, to boot.

I only see the 75-300mm being sold in fake kits with lost of other crap like $2 filters and crapy bags and what not. Not in Canon kits? Old lens stock being cleared in my opinion.

The LCD implementation is not half bad, actually. Nice lens for a relatively nice price.
Nikon must be getting headaches from Canon (dual pixel sensors, PD AF image sensors in most DSLRs, a growing range of STM and nano USM lenses, a lot of technology to catch up to in the AF front).
