I just received this lens and my first impression when I picked it up was: omg... this is heavy! (and that means: there's a lot of glass inside it!) :)
This is my first L lens, so I didn't know what to expect from it. My comparison comes basically from a kit lens (canon 18-55mm) and a 100-300mm that is a bit old (and slow) right now.
I bought this lens with the idea of using it as the main lens for "every" situation (replacing the kit lens)
The build quality really is quite good, and the filling of holding and using it is awesome (although if you have a camera body from the first DSLRs, it'll look like the mount is going to break because of the weight of the lens). You really have to hold the body AND the lens.
The quality of the pictures are superb, and the AF is really fast compared to the standard canon lenses.
The range (24-105mm) is useful for plenty of situations. It can replace most of the "kit" lenses out there (with 18-55mm) for close range and it's average for long range (it would be great if the max range was 150mm).
So, if you're thinking on make an upgrade from a standard kit lens... I really recommend this lens for day-to-day general use! It's worth every penny.

Worth every penny
I was really hesitant to purchase this lens because of the price but it is worth every penny. I use it mainly for landscape and nature photography but have also used it to take pics at my daughter’s soccer games and the quality of pics is amazing.
