I'm a Nikon D80 user but my father has recently purchased a 400D and has asked me to buy him a zoom lens to fit his new camera. Obviously my Nikon lenses aren't going to fit his Canon camera :o but I was wondering if any of you bright folk could provide some suggestions as to which lens to go for.

Ideally under £200, in the region of 200mm or 300mm.

Thanks in advance.

Whappers.

Sigma 70-300mm F/4-5.6 APO DG is probably the best bet for that sort of money, although you can get it for quite a bit less than £200.

How about a Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS, reckoned to be great value and can be had for a shade under £200 from the right places.
I've got the sigma and it is a good lens, but the IS is a great feature for the not so steady of hand.
