I have had 2 copies of the newer Gen 1 Canon 24-105 F4 and I can confidently say, on a 5DSR, the Sigma is vastly superior (if you are a pixel peeper) - never mind it is 2/3rd of a T-Stop faster than the Canon - the fact that the Canon 24-105 is actually called an F4 lens is almost false advertising - it is really an F5 lens. If you are looking for a studio type all purpose handheld lens, I could not recommend the Sigma version higher - on a 5DSR it produces stunningly sharp images and the OS is excellent - if I had to guess, I would think based on the first reviews I have read, the new Canon version II should be similar - sharper in the center, better in the longer focal lengths, better IS - and the benefit is that it will have weather sealing - which from a travel lens perspective is a must - the Sigma is really a studio type lens.
