The RF 100-500mm L is great for outdoors...I use it for birding on my R5 and it just blows me away. I also have a Sigma 150-600mm C which is also good...I use it on a Nikon Z6. I'm posting a shot (cropped) that I took with the RF lens that I don't think I could have gotten as easily with the Sigma lens. Of course the exceptional focus on the Canon is a big reason for this, however the Sigma, I'm guessing, isn't as fast focusing as the Canon and it is heavier for sure. If you can afford it I would definitely choose the Canon 100-500 over the Sigma 150-600 unless however most of your photos are stationary, then the Sigma would probably suffice. Good luck to you

Note: I changed the water color from green to blue and it created several yellow and blue splotches, even around the birds bill.
