yes, to get that nice subject isolation be prepared to spend more $$ !

a Canon 100-400 is good for wildlife as well as Sigma 150-600

Lovely picture! Yes I've heard of the 150-600 third party lenses, they look to be quite effective.

After using the 70-200 f2.8 for a few days I found what I think I was looking for was a better, stable aperture than f4-5.6. In your picture it seems that lens has captured the subject very well, do you ever find in some photos you can't isolate your subject with the f5-6.3 aperture?

Amazing shot. I'm in the same boat with a 55-250 STM that I'm feeling is a bit short. Just playing with the 55-250 STM I noticed even at speeds like 1/400 with IS on - there was still some motion blur @ 100%. For a 150-600 - how does that stand up to motion blur? Is a hand-held shot like this even an option - or is a tripod a must?
