I just found this lens on amazon.com for $170.00 :

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras

And I just bought the Sigma 70-300mm APO DG for over $200.00 on amazon a month ago...

Is the Canon one better because of the USM?

OR the Sigma better because of the DG APO?

I am getting kinda mad here 'cause I thought USM was real expensive.

I got the 300D by the way if that matters...

the sigma is better because it's sharper

(edit to say, neither are exactly stellar)
