I am thinking to buy 1 of the lenses as below

Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM
Tamron AF 70-300mm F4-5.6 Di Macro

Any one can advice which will be better lenses? Currently own 400D and both the lenses prices are slightly different. The purpose i am buying the 300MM lenses as wil be travel and would like to take good Landscape picture.
Another question would be: Tripod for travel, Sakure tripod that would be more lighter for travel, or Digipod Tripod that more heavy ( Heavier and not nice for Travel with Backpack type ) But is much more stable and solid. Which 1 better? Different around RM200.

If comparing these 2 definetely Tammy alot better...price also cheaper but i recommend you go for Sigma 70-300mm APO

For tripod, bring one that more firm and stable, you won't want your few K's drop cause using cheap and unstable tripod right ?

Added on August 24, 2007, 2:57 pmA month or two back i check, price is like

Tamron Di version - Rm580-600 or Rm680-700 ( cannot remember which one) - Made in China
Sigma APO version - RM730-750 (Made in Japan)

Canon, i heard Rm8xx (Dunno made in where)

Some ppl don't prefer Sigma not bcoz of the price but the after sales service since they dun have local distributor here like Tamron, so if lens got issue need to send back to Singapore for warranty claim.

Check this link out !

One more thing, aside listen ppl said/suggest. Go TRY out the lens buy bring your camera along...dun look at the output from LCD. Transfer to PC to judge !

Here are some pictures taken with sigma 70-300:
