I'm buying body only as the 18-200mm that it comes with I have been told by two pro photographers and the guy at the store that I am better off buying the Sigma equivalent that is much cheaper and is just as good. I am also buying another lens (wide angle) plus a uv, ploariser and an ND +3 filter.

shentov · 12.03.2008, 10:31 AM

awesome!

PS and yeah, the Sigma's the way to go.

that short shows what you can do when you know what you're doing, and the picture is pretty amazing for video done on a DSLR. Although the focus pulling isn't that great it looks a bit clunky but that may be just because it is a skilled stills photographer focus pulling for video, different skill entirely. the quality is awesome though

sweet. I have a 40d and love it. You'll have no regrets.
