Re: Creative motion blur...

Thanks, great comments! And I love the picture with motion blur! I'm not sure I will be able to do that for this particular job, though... The idea is that I will need to see and recognize the people I will be taking pictures of.

You are right, it is a damn hard decision... Well, I really want the Sigma! The whole package just looks nicer, with better build quality and faster aperture! And the pictures taken with it seem to have an undefinable quality to them that I really like!

But the difference to the pictures I can get from the Canon are really small, the kind of thing I would need to pay a lot of attention to notice. And the Canon is cheaper, smaller, lighter and OEM.

Tough call! But I need it already for next weekend, so I will have to pick one soon...
