No, not the 100-400 as a kit, but a new lens otherwise.Well, they just updated the 18-55 and 18-135 lenses within the last year; maybe they'll do the 18-200 too, who knows. And they already have a good 17-55 and 15-85, not to mention a 24-105 that works well on crop. Not sure what kit lens they could put out that they don't already offer.
15-60 F4
I'm sure an upgrade on this lens will be a big seller, but for someone who has a 400 5.6 prime, I'm not excited.
Canon are missing a proper upgrade path from the already existing 400 f5.6s. A £4500 400mm F4 prime with 4 stop IS, lighter than 300 2.8 as a replacement for the DO would fill that gap nicely, and be a excellent match to the new 7D if it turns out to be a mini IDX. I could get excited about that.
I might go with Sigma 120-300 f2.8 this time. I''m willing to loose the 100mm in reach, but gain more in light for indoor shots. I can always crop in PP since I'm only shoot raw.
A new 100-400 L is probably the single lens I am most excited about. I use the current version extensively but would love to see 2 more stops of IS, faster AF, and slightly better optics.
Agree completely but want it to NOT be push-pull. Push-pull zoom lenses were a great idea in the days of manual focus, when push-pull was to zoom and rotate was to focus.
100-400 F4 without 1.4 extender, Would be a good alternative to the 200-400 maybe half the cost?Same constant aperture, and a 4x zoom range instead of 2x for half the cost? A built in TC doesn't account for that much of the cost!
A replacement 100-400 will not be f4 at the long end, unless its bigger and more expensive than the still missing 200-400. There's a need for a lens the size/weight/price/focal length range of the existing 100-400. That means any replacement will be f5.6 at the long end.
(The price will be about double the existing model)
maybe they will release a 100-400 NON L lens like when they had the 100-300s
Will the rumored 7D come with a new kit lens?
Highly doubt it, it's way to expensive and heavy to become a kit lens
Ha that was my thought, 100-400 kit lens. I want this to happen!!

Love my 100-400, would appreciate better IS, full sealing, and optical improvements. If it's as sharp as the 70-300L, awesome. Hope they keep push-pull, but could learn to live with rotating extension.
Expensive, yes it will be. But probably worth it.100-400 F4 without 1.4 extender, Would be a good alternative to the 200-400 maybe half the cost?
Ha ha ha. 100-400mm f/4 means the same front element size as the 200/2, 400/4, 200-400/4, etc. Would be a $7K lens easy. Get off this, folks, it'll be f/5.6 at the long end, and likely close to $3K at that.
