Those focal lengths will certainly give you good range coverage. Btu to be comepletely honest with you, I don't know anything about the quality or performance of both of those.

I don't know if you've been to Fred Miranda's site, but there's a lot of very good and useful information there. Heres' a link to info about the 17-70:

Also, I am planning to buy two lenses. I have also made a query thread here in this regard. But need yours opinion on the first step. I have decided to buy sigma 17-70 and Canon 55-250 IS. To get a range from 17-250mm. I need 17-70 because of its WA and 2.8 aperture and 55-250 for Telephoto range. Should I go for it?

Or is there any lens which completes the purpose of these two?

Thankyou Sir. Actually the thing is I need range and my pocket dont allow me to buy L. So I am inclined towards the 55-250. I had read some reviews of 17-70 and I think it will be fulfilling my needs.

I did manage to take a quick peek at some of it a few weeks ago, and enjoyed what I saw. I'll have to spend some more time later on after I get home this evening. Do you have a particular link in mind that you'd like me to look at? Ye taarif ke qabil hai .

Still collecting photograhs.

Also, 55-250 lens have no USM. Do it matters a lot?

Thank you - I'll take a look tonight.

Not all lenses have the USM which is not necessarily a bad thing. I believe the USM is just quieter, faster and maybe a little more rugged than the standard AF motor.
