It is a very good lens, and the best f2.8 zoom bargain.
The ability to get more shallow DOF than the f3.5-5.6 kit lens is valuable in my opinion, and I would go for the Sigma over the kitlens for sure. Also, the Sigma has a bit better optics (I saw someone above post it does not). So, sure, go for that Sigma.
A few downsides to the Sigma choice though:
DPP 4 will not offer a lens profile so no deconvolution and lens correction functionality for RAW files with that lens. And with flash photography it may give misfocus when using the flash gun's IR fcous grid pattern.
I agree that the 2.8 would be a nice thing to have, especially since I would like to start setting up my own website and sell prints.
Could you please explain this last paragraph- DPP4? Does this mean I won't be able to adjust settings in Lightroom when processing RAW files?
DDP 4 is Canon's own RAW converter, which has very advanced lens correction and deconvolution options. But those are only available for Canon lenses.
How lightroom works is not affected by this.
