The Tamron 18-250 gets pretty good reviews. No idea how the two compare.
Personally, I would be a little wary of superzooms. You have to give up something somewhere as there are no free lunches, and 18-250mm is a huge range to cover. It is a bit of a slow lens on the long end, but depending on what you are after that might not be a bad thing. If it were me, I might look at which end of that zoom I am most interested in and focus on lenses that might deliver that portion at a similar price but better quality. All that said, I have never seen images from it, so it might be the best thing since sliced bread, and I am more of a prime lens guy so I'm the last one you want advice from
These are from the Station fire, day shot was yesterday, night shot was from a few minutes ago:

Available for preorder for $1,445 after Bing Cashback for you Canon types.
Canon EOS 7D Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) PREORDER $1,699.99 - 255 bing CB @ CC - SlickDeals.net Forums
And the autofocus on the 5DmkII is the exact same as it is one the 5D, which is to say only 1 cross type sensor right in the middle, the others I don't trust at all. The 7D has a totally new AF, with some really nice features which Canon has been lacking for a long, long time. I am sure will be what the 1D(s) MkIVs will have but they want to make sure they get it right before putting it in an $8k camera.

Looks killer. I like the color and hues. It might be me but the horizon looks like its slightly dipping to the right...maybe 1-2 degrees.

I am ignoring you.
Here are a handful of shots that I got today at the North American Reptile Breeder's Conference and Trade Show in Anaheim.
I'm not a breeder, or even an owner. Just figured that the 4-year old would get a kick out of having extreme reptile overload. There were about a billion snakes, lizards, spiders, frogs, bugs, and other multi-legged creatures.
My wife has decided that we're buying a Bearded Dragon, and some variety of corn snake. Maybe we shouldn't have gone. Each one of those will need a habitat, and food, and lights, and a heater, and, and, and.
Anyhow, these were shot with available light, and most at f5.6 and 800 ISO if I recall. The lizards were in tubs with more light available, the snakes were through glass. (I did a bit of Photoshop cleanup on dust and particulates for those.) And all of the shots were tweaked from the RAW to fix white balance, contrast and for purely aesthetic reasons.

Walking back to my car after the UCLA game this weekend. Very little touching up in PS. Tried to reduce some of the noise. Still seems like a little much for my tastes.
