Got my new lense today, and thought i would go out and try it in the evening.. (sigma 70-300).. i know it only takes decent pictures in bright light, but figured i would try it anyways because i was totting around my tripod.. well, im quite disappointed w/ it :( should of spent some extra money and got some more expensive glass. oh well. live and learn.. cant wait til my nifty fifty gets here :) im so excited....:D

just thought i would rant about that.. i had such high hopes, i really need to get a remote for my rebel.. prolly would of helped out w/ the camera shake.. :cry:

i'm not familiar with that lens but, if your unhappy with it and don't think that it is user error I think that you should return it.. just my two cents...

and I think you'll really like nifty it does perform in lowlight beautifully..

why does that upset you?... the kit lens is still a useful lens and can produce excelent results.. If I were you i'd be happy that you have an inexpensive piece of gear that can give you nice shots..

very true.. give it sometime. every lens has it's good points and bad points.. a little practice learning what it's capable of and not capable of..
