Don't forget the $40-$120 rebate. B&H sells the IS version for $1600 before a $50-$150 rebate. That's $1700 for the IS. $1699.95, to be precise, for the US version. With the rebate that's cheaper than the "grey market" at $1659.95. I just got one. Jon

If i can come up with the money i think im going to get the non IS version. It would take forever to get the extra $4-600 for it. |Canon 80D|40D backup|24-105 F4/L|Sigma 70-200 F/2.8|Sigma 150-500 C|

It's hand holdable with ease for action shots, however for stills and the like I need a mono-pod or tripod, but that's nothing new. I invested in a quality set of manfrotto gear, and it still was much much less then the IS option for me. I kaNt sPeL...

Is the sigma really going to be just as good as the canon "L" version? i mean i'de love to save some money but if the "L" is worth the extra cash i'll spend more. |Canon 80D|40D backup|24-105 F4/L|Sigma 70-200 F/2.8|Sigma 150-500 C|

i really think i've made up my mind and will get the sigma. i read lots of reviews on fredmiranda.com and was very pleased at the results. lots of good pics too. I may goto b&h and test both out.... but may end up getting on the sigma. |Canon 80D|40D backup|24-105 F4/L|Sigma 70-200 F/2.8|Sigma 150-500 C|

I do think that you'll be selling your 70-300, though. I had my 80-200L for all of 45 minutes and I knew I'd almost never put the Sigma 70-300 on my camera again....I sold it pretty quickly.
