Why possibly go for Canon over the Tamron?
Some body support for lens corrections.
DPP supported lens corrections.
Zoom direction matches other Canon lenses. <-- this would be the biggest one for me!
From the images, does the Tamron put the zoom ring at the front of the lens?
Canon has more IS settings.
Personally I don't have any issue with Canon lens caps. Sure they don't have the centre pinch but they're thinner for it and still easy to fit/remove. Can't argue with them being stingy on the lens hood though.
If I was still on the Sony system, I think the Tamron would make an interesting affordable alternative to the 70-300G.
