So i know i made a thread a while back about lenses but i have another queston.
So i went into a camera store a few days ago and while i was in there i decided to ask what lense the guy recommended for shooting wildlife shots. He suggested a sigma 70 - 300 something something i dont remember the full details what he said i just remember he said it had the vr(but called something different but does the same thing) like the nikon lenses do.
He said Sigma was probably a better make than both Canon and Nikon put together is that correct? It's going to be a $600 lense so i just want to make sure this is the one i want before i shell out the money, which i know probably isn't that much compared to what many others spend on lenses but for a student still in school, it's a fairly large chunk of money to be dishing out on thing!
While i was looking at a few other camera stores online i was looking into the sigma i came across that there are three different(maybe more) 70 - 300 lenses. Now i'm assuming it's this one as the price is closest to around $600 but just to double check does this seem right?

There's also:

and
Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6 DG Macro With Motor Driver : Broadway Camera!, Your Specialty Camera Store in Vancouver BC, Canada
And then i was looking at the nikon lenses and the price isn't that different to be honest...

Ok so my questions are,
Do you agree with the guys suggestion of the 70 - 300 sigma lense?
Do you think Sigma is better(i know this is probably a personal preferense hopefully no wars over this one) than the Nikon lenses? Which would you reccomend to go for?
Any other suggestions
Oh yea and i have Nikon D3000 i geuss i shoud have said that at the beginning...
