My wife is in a swimming competition tomorrow and I was going to use my Canon 70-300 4-5.6 IS. However the IS is on the fritz and flicking all over the place. Am I better off using the Sigma 18-200 3.5-6.3 OS, whose stabilisation is working and just resizing the image? I'll be using a 7D, possibly using a monopod, if the toddler I shall also be carrying doesn't use it as a weapon.
and please use their services
Which lens to use?

Use which ever lens you need to get the image you want, if its close in then you need the long lens if your wanting wider then the 18-200 will be better.
Switch the IS off, maybe?

Depends how steady your hands are, go out and give it a go.
Wound up using both in the end. I used 650th as the shutter speed, but this may have been a bit to high as the ISO ranged between 2000-3200, so things may be a bit noisy, I'll try 500th next time.
On the plus side I was asked if I was selling shots after a couple of people looked at the LCD images! I feel this was more the result of an undiscriminating audience rather than skill.
