Canon Digital Rebel 300d

[Riod]

I want to buy a zoom lens for my Digital Rebel. Are there compelling reasons to buy a Canon lenas rather than a Tamron, Sigma or Tokina?

Are any of these optically much better than the others?

What should I be aware of when I look at these lenses?

Do they each have features that are better than the others?

Thanks. Riod.

Check out www.fredmiranda.com/reviews/ to read user-reviews about different lenses from Canon/Sigma/Tokina. They also have Nikon-reviews for our "enemies" ;)

Please post URL's to other places like the fredmiranda-page. I know for sure I find the review-page very usefull.
