Hi Rookie, the Sigma 50-500mm is a great lens. Is it the best zoom lens in my opinion for under a £1000. Well opinions will vary but I think for a zoom lens you wont get any better for the money that goes to 500mm.
I have a Canon 400D and a Sigma 50-500mm. I also have a Canon 400mm f5.6L USM lens. If you need the versatility of the zoom the Sigma 50-500mm is a great lens. Not sure of the price but I'm nearly sure it's under a £1000 you might like to check out the Canon 100-400mm zoom lens. It's got image stabilisation and although slightly shorter in reach than the 50-500mm I'm reliably informed that it works well with a 1.4x teleconverter attached and it does give great image quality
I personally prefer my Canon 400mm f5.6L USM lens over the Sigma 50-500mm lens for it's image quality which is no doubt better than the Sigma 50-500mm lens, but you would expect a fixed prime lens to be better than a zoom.
Hope this helps
