That is interesting point. I own Canon so there is no alternative beside getting Tamron 70-300mm VC. Canon's 70-300mm IS lags behind Nikon's and Tamron's especially wide open which I use the most. There is no Tamron lens available for Canon's mount yet. I read a lot of reviews from the owners of this lens who also have experience with Nikon, mentioning that Tamron surpasses image quality especially from 200-300mm wide open.

The Canon does NOT lag behind the Nikon, wide open. No idea where you get that from. People who actually really used both the Nikon and the Canon are surprised that the Canon lens is sharper, giving how in Canon forums people like to bitch about gear, where on Nikon forums people like the adore every Nikon product, even if it is of questionable quality.
The Canon 70-300 IS USM is a very good lens for its type, and the Nikon is not better. The Sony is said to be a bit better, it is also more expensive. The Tamron appears to be even better, as does the new L from Canon.
