I use only Canon. Sigma have a good reputation, but apart from the optics, which some people will tell you is just as good as own brand lenses, there is another factor to consider for those of us clever enough to use Canon kit. That is the electronics and software. There is a hell of a lot of communication between body and lens, and not all independents do it 100% correct, and even if they do, there is future compatibility to consider. Also there isn't much that can beat a Canon lens for AF.
