I'm a video creator and just switched from the GH4 to the C100 for my fast turnaround workflow. Previously I used the Panasonic 35-100 f/2.8, and need to find a C100 telephoto alternative. I've been doing a lot of browsing on the differences between the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 OS and the Canon 70-200 f/4 IS. From what I gather, the IQ on the Sigma is better than on the Canon,

???

but I haven't found much on the differences in the optical/image stabilization. For my shooting style, which is usually strictly on a monopod, having good lens stabilization is very important. Anyone with experience on either or both able to attest to one having better stabilization than the other?

I own the Canon. Its IS is the most effective one I tried.
