For “Reuters’ photographers” must be good news to have a new good lens in hand. Maybe they have available jobs.

I just saw a listed price for the 70-200 II at Camera Canada.
I sure hope they are way off

Too bad all the Canon marketing folks are Japanese or they would be reading dozens of threads like this and would realize how many sales they have lost to people that will not walk around with a WHITE CANON BILLBOARD.

I can use a very expensive 24-70L or 135L all day long and only photographers notice… whip out a white (nearly equally expensive) 70-200 (non IS!) and every thug in two villages knows who you are and where you are spending the night.

CANON… I will be the first to buy a BLACK 70-200 2.8IS… even with a premium for black paint.

Keep your shirts on boys, the MSRP on an item is rarely (read: never) the actual price.

IF you are basing your fantasy lens hunt on icelandic prices then yes, you will be disappointed, the retail price is much higher in some places in europe. This is because of IMPORT TARIFFS the local government charges, not extra money canon is making.

If you look at last model, you will see the new MK II isn’t solely released for optical improvement, but to be a cleaner, better update to an already awesome lens… the stabilizer is not only going to be better in F-stops, but also smoother because of double the axis of adjustment.

Not to forget the magnesium lens barrel so its probably going to last twice as long.

oh and if you want value go out and find a BLACK 80-200 2.8, I just picked one up last week for $500 in banged up shape with clean/clear glass.

$1949 @ B&H. the inflation is really killer, my insurance company hates me for it too, since I keep re-insuring the same equipment for higher values and its completely legit.

I currently own a 40d and a 17-55mm( and a EX430II) and I am struggling between cannon and Nikon for a upgrade. For two weeks, I have been checking all the possible solutions. My budget is rather flexible and I am looking for two camera bodies and they can be both Nikon and Canon. My application is simple: I sell cell phones on ebay and I have a three year old pretty girl.
The new Nikon 70-200mm VR II is nice at 2400 dolor and I can buy a used D3 for 3200 from ebay. But the D3 doesn’t have vedio and the Nikon 24-70 is a sharp lens without VR. I like the canon 5D ii’s 21mp sensor and vedio but heat canon’s 24-70mm zoom and the 70-200mm f2.8 IS—inferior to Nikon’s 70-200mm VR II. Now finally the canon 70-200mm IS II is out, but you guys tell me it will cost four grands?

Well, if Mr. Pants is right – it sounds pretty good. Mainly though it would sound reasonable. I don’t think that Canon will rise the price up to US$3000 for the new 70-200… To my mind, it’s just too much.
By the way – does anyone know the prices for the lenses in HonkKong? Want to go there in spring. Is it better to buy the prime lenses in U.S. or overseas?

Just when I thought I couldn’t afford to switch to Nikon, Canon comes along with underperforming (5dMkII AF issues) overpriced (1DMkIV, new 70-200f/2.8) and annoying (dropping the remote switch on the 580EX II) gear oh, and rumors of higher priced fixes? (3D) Give me a break. Is that you Chuck? Are you showing me the door?

I really rather get the option with the 5d mkii and the 4 lenses. However, what I rather much more is a 3D with those 4 lenses.

I strongly believe 70-200mm IS will be discountinued.
So it will only left 70-200mm IS II and the one without IS.
This is inline with the F4 version. Also the price is likely to be USD2199-2399.
