I have both the T2i and the SX40. The T2i does immensely better for action shots.

Hello All,
I have a Canon T2i and my everyday lens is the EF
28-135mm
f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

My kids are both doing fall sports that make me want a better zoom. I asked DH for the 70-300 for my birthday and he suggested getting the SX 40 since it's smaller/easier to carry and around the same price.

I'm a hobbyist at best and can't say I'm good with a lot more than using the automatic features of my camera. Would love any feedback about this...is he right? Any help/opinions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie

I also posted this in the lens forum but my DH thinks I should ask in this forum too!
