This is a good lens for the money. It's not fair to compare it to $600.00+ lenses, but it works well for the money. As has been stated before, it performs best in open daylight or well lit conditions, especially at it's max range of zoom. The macro feature is nice and I have used it more than the telephoto with some nice results.

I received this lens literally hours before I wrote this review, and I must say that it has more than exceeded my expectations. all I can say that i have a bit of a problem with, is the switching from macro to telephoto.
My brother and I sometimes work together for photo jobs and once I got the chance to rent an 70-200mm L series for a wedding shoot, The difference? the sigma lens is lighter, has a greater range, and macro. Yes the L series has a faster AF, and yes the Sigma does not have image stabilization. But you won't care about those things once you've practiced keeping a steady hand for a bit, then looking in your wallet to see you've saved a bucketload of cash.

I bought this with amazon.com for nikon. Before I bought it, I reviewed the great pictures on this site. Unfortunately, these are misleading because those pictures were taken by Canon rebels.
The pictures I took with this lense for nikon are blur. Nikon needs VR function on lense to stabalize pictures.
I later bought a nikon VR lense that takes pictures with much better qualities.
This is for review "Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Motorized Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras". Amazon.com mixed reviews for Nikon with Canon. If you search for "Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras", you get the same reviews.
Nikon has VR lenses. I have to use tripod when I use this sigma lense.

Pros: I took it out to photograph birds and it did wonderful. The lens has the distance's as well as the focusing numbers written out to take the guessing game out. Also the lens came with its own protective case. I have a cannon zoom lens EF 75-300, and the sigma lens has already impressed me more then the cannon.
Cons: I got the camera for the macro, and you can only use the macro between 200-300 mm.
Over all, if you have the money to buy a high quality telephoto zoom lens and a macro lens go for it, but this lens has given me good quality for a lot cheaper then those routes. I highly recommend this lens to any hobbiest or aspiring photographer who is just starting out.
