Well, I will be probably doing 'a lot of photography', just not professionally.

I already have a 'good' non slr-cam but it's lacking.

I most likely will actually, it's one of the features I'm most interested in. I'll probably play around with it a lot, spend countless times fucking it up and then hopefully learn to use it.

Maybe go with Sigma if you like their trademark "SCREEEEEEETCH, SCREEEEEEEEETCH" when you focus.

Damn. I was actually looking at that. Price difference is rather huge. Canon is 1000?+, Sigma is around ?500. After reading this
http://www.pbase.com/lightrules/2470exl I have no idea why I should pay more than double the price for Canon, if I'm not going the "Professional"-route.
Now, which would be better.. Canon "Kit"-lense, or the Sigma 24-70?
