The camera forums are full of arm-chair quarterbacks. Legions of people who love to second guess camera companies and their decisions.
I personally think that Canon will ultimately do what is best for their interests and the interests of most of the photographers in the target market for a particular lens.
If the non-IS 24-70/2.8 II is $1900, then I fear to think what adding image stabilization would have done to the price. $2400 maybe? Either way, it\'s not hard to see why they didn\'t add it.
Putting my arm from the cairs rest ... is it $ 1900?
The 24-70 is about 1200 averadge. A new version at 1900 is dead before it is available in the shops. For that you get the best zoom ever. The second best for half. IQ of the old one was nice/o.c. could have been better) but not for additional $ 700. Than it really would be easier to offer/sell an IS version for about 2.400.
