There are circular and full frame fish-eye lenses out there. The Canon is unique because it combines them.
The Sigma is unique because there is no other 12mm rectilinear SLR lens AT ALL.

I just corrected the price/performance rating of the Canon to 5*.
The Sigma 8mm f/4.5 EX circular fisheye costs 800EUR locally. It is slightly slower and not much cheaper than the Canon which offers a full frame fish-eye and weather protection on top.
