I haven't tested extensively the 24-105, so I can't compare it with the 24-70 but I can tell you what I like about 24-70.
1. f/2.8.
2. Pleasing colors and contrast without the need of post processing.
Sharpness was never an issue to me because I'm not a pixel-peeping nerd. I just want to take nice shots.
24-70 @24mm f/2.8.

I think that some Panasonic models like the GH2 do the thing you describe to some extend.
It is called "multi-aspect sensor" but the sensor's total surface area is never used to capture a single image.

Lenses / Re: EF 16-40 f/4L IS [CR1]
« on: May 25, 2011, 08:59:30 AM »As a user of the current 17-40, I can assure you that corner resolution is not an issue to me. When i need resolution (landscapes etc), i use f/8-13 and I get very sharp images.
If this 16-40 IS hits the shops, I 'll definitely take it just for the IS!!!!
Even at f/11 there's plenty of room for improvement at the wide end.
Sure there is, I just don't need it for my prints, even if they are 1 meter long.

Lenses / Re: 15-85 vs 17-40
« on: May 14, 2011, 10:20:11 AM »I've been thinking for a while about selling my 15-85 since I'm not satisfied with the quality (good at 15 sucks at 85) and the colors that are "weird" (tough to describe) and because , anyways I was wondering if the 17-40 would be an upgrade IQ wise. I was also considering the 16-28 tokina for the 2.8 if anyone has experience with that lens.Can you post some sucky images at 85mm? I have the 17-40 and I was thinking to get the 15-85 because it is a more versatile all-around lens. I'm not planning to sell my 17-40 though, because I use it on 3 cameras(2 ff, 1 aps-c). 17-40 is very good if you can live with the lack of IS.
What I love about 17-40? Its build quality, size-weight, color rendition and the lack of flaring! I find its IQ well above average, especially at f8-11.

I've used both EOS1V and EOS3. They are top notch SLRs. You'll absolutely love them.
I can bet that the 5D mkiii will have worse autofocus than these two.
