    Do either have some sort of image stabilization ? if not you would defo need a tripod for them ...

    The Sigma does not have IS and is soft from around 450-500. However I have it and I love it.

    Second the Sigma, I have had some experience of it and given the right conditions it can produce excellent results. Dont confuse it with the latest non-ex OS offerings.
