In terms of value for money, the Sigma 150-500 and the 120-400 are the winner of the test; they are much cheaper than the Canon 100-400 and they offers good image quality. The 50-500 is a little shaper in the studio tests, but in the field I think that the image stabilization of the 150-500 and 120-400 will compensate for the slightly lower sharpness. At $800, the 150-500 it is the cheapest 500mm that I know, and it has both stabilization and ultrasonic autofocus! If you want a lot of reach and you have a tight budget I recommend this lens.

not back to back and not extensively, but I have tried both lenses (compared them both to a lens I owned at the time), so in a way it's an indirect comparison...the Sigma was ever so slightly softer than the Canon, but still very good. I'd probably go with the Sigma, unless you don't care about money, in which case you might as well get the Canon.
