For most sports, I would assume that you need longer lenses - in which case the 55-m250mm IS lens from Canon could fit the bill. However, the autofocus is not in the realm of USM fast - so I guess it depends on the sport.

I bought a Sigma 28-300 for the same reason, on good days you can say its nice, but unfortunately you can't say much more then that.
You'll get some okay photos, but thats all they will be - ok and not fantastic. It lacks when extended more then 2/3rds and the af is incredibly noisy, slow and hunts a lot.
But that said, you can pick them up v cheap - and you might be lucky enough to get one of the later OS ones in the budget.

Yeah that's what i was looking at a while back, but i'm really not looking to spend to much as it's a want more than a need.
Well when i say sports i really just mean BMX, so to be honest i wouldn't be looking at a long lens, but thank's for the advice.
Okay thank's a lot, i'll bear that in mind

My walkabout lens is the 28-135mm IS USM which is an excellent lens.
You could probably get one S/H on here for about the budget you have.
I use it for about 80% of my shots.
