Your images look really nice. I think you can take sharp images at 200mm but 300mm is more difficult. I use my Canon 70-300mm before, and I try shot at 300mm to get nice background blur, but images looked blurry. I could not use it handhold especially at low light. Even in good light, I still could not do it because I need to stop down to F11 at lease to get everything in focus.

As you can see, I do not stop down at all. My images are at 200mm and with f4. I know that I can make similar images with the Canon 70-300mm f4-5.6 IS USM (very nice lens by the way) handheld at f5.6. Stopping down to f8 still is no problem to handhold, especially as the 70-300's have image stabilization.
I guess it is down to technique.
