However, none of this comes even close to substantiating a claim that SR on a panning camera causes blur. My panning isn't bad, but I couldn't claim to be able to pan the camera steadily enough to be able to tell the difference between SR on and off with an already fast shutter speeed.
I say leave it on.
Same here.However, none of this comes even close to substantiating a claim that SR on a panning camera causes blur. My panning isn't bad, but I couldn't claim to be able to pan the camera steadily enough to be able to tell the difference between SR on and off with an already fast shutter speeed.

I've tried on and off while panning an autosport race and I couldn't see a difference between the two but since we don't see a difference we might say that SR does not help with panning

Yes you are right that it doesn't work with auto iso, sorry about the mistake
But wireless HSS does work with fix ISO but you can not use the on-board flash as trigger, you need to use another external flash to trigger another flash.

To be honest I don't know Amin, not really home in the studio strobes.
About the power you probable want that to for the sake of speed right?
Bowens is a well know brand and expensive.
the budget models have a flash duration of 1/1200 Sec but the top model goes to 1/2900 Sec.
The top model isn't cheap you know
I've no idea how these numbers compare against the external flashguns like your sigma.
About the settings they are fully manual I believe so you have full control and you need to use a trigger to set them up so no need to use a controller flash like you use now.
SRS has some studio lighting why don't you go over and play a bit in the shop to see how they work.
200 watt is about the same as your sigma flash just to give you an idea how much power you need.
hopes that helps you a bit since I don't have much experience myself.

Oh yes they make DSLR they even use a special sensor, the camera are even pretty good I believe.
The Sigma 170-500mm is now discontinued and replaced by the 150-500mm.
The Sigma 170-500mm also had a smaller brother the 135-400mm and that one is replaced by the smaller brother of the 150-500mm, the 120-400mm.
old -> new
170-500mm -> 150-500mm
135-400mm -> 120-400mm
here is the full sigma lens range of the recent models link

On my holiday I had the 18-55 50-135 and a 100 macro, I've used them all and the 50-135 was my walk around lens. Sometimes it wasn't wide enough for me but never really found it not long enough but that's me and I'm sure someone else would tell you a different story.
You know yourself the best so make a choice on that.
