Nikon also have the 18-135 DX. So come on canon fill the gap in the EF-S line up. I agree a good quality Canon EF-S 18-105 IS to rival Nikon’s 18-105 DX is needed. Nikon also have the 18-135 DX.

It's a matter of fact Canon lacks a quality yet pocket friendly walk around EF-S lens (something between 17-105 range, though you have made two good yet cheap lenses i.e. 18-55 IS and 55-250 IS. But you can not say 18-55 range is good for walk around purpose and again 55-250 lacks wide angle part. You have your 17-85 IS USM in arsenal.. but its optically very mediocre. Your arch rival and other rivals are coming up with very good walk around solutions,optically very competitive yet not so high priced. It's true in third world countries in Asia and Africa and South-America, you have a huge customer base who use DSLRs but not maximum of them specially beginners, amateurs and serious-amateurs can not afford to buy your very best L-series lenses. We are in urgent need of an optically potent EF-S walk-around lens and of course which must not be ridiculously higher priced. It's the call of this hour from this part of Canon world!!!

That would be enough for someone to conclude the poor guy cannot tell between a 24-105mm and a 24-70mm LOL. What a load of crap! ‘One “witness” said the lens hood was very different.’

I think I would be much more likely to blow $1600+ on a 24-70 (or even a 18-80 while I'm dreaming) non-IS f/2.8 with absolutely mind boggling optics. Leave IS for the consumer and super tele markets. That would be the ultimate walk around all purpose lens for me. That being said... I hope they come out with something new soon! I suppose there is also no chance at all for a 24-70 f/2?
