I haven't waded through all this thread, so apologies if this has been mentioned already ... A while ago there was buzz about a 24-70L II - anybody think it might be forthcoming or was that entirely fictitious?
Many claimed that is fictitious just a year ago, some who are not watching the market closely may still feel that way, but things have recently changed...
Nikon has improved both their 24-70 and 70-200 in the past year. Canon definitely does want to remain competitive and WILL update both lenses at some point. The only questions now are when and exactly how they are going to implement. We might see one of them this time or in 6 months, followed by the other 6 months later.
When Canon started losing market share due to the D300, out came the 7D. Canon knows they must respond and they will, and as always it will be "just good enough" to regain market share but not necessarily be everything we want it to be. They still want to sell lots of different lenses, not just a few great ones.
