I am a Nikon guy but I do a lot of nature photography and I have a lot of friends I see in the field each day. The guys and gals who shoot the Canon 100-400 (New Version) are getting really good results. In fact, the shots that they have been getting almost got me to convert, but, of course, I did not. I see a lot of folks with the sigma, A LOT, but those shots don't seem to measure up. No big surprise, I really did not think they would. So, from my standpoint of seeing the results of both lenses, go Canon hands down, no brainer, the lens is way better constructed, will last longer, give you more consistent results, and be WORTH WAY MORE down the road if you want to trade in or sell outright.
