Canon Rumors:
Share Say bye!
The following products have been officially discontinued by Canon, so if you find them in stock anywhere, the time is now. The 580EX II is highly recommended, I rent a lot of them and they’ve been bulletproof.
* Canon Speedlite 580EX II
* Canon EF 24 f/2.8
* Canon EF 28 f/2.8
* Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8L Everything on this list has been replaced by newer, and more expensive versions. The EF 24 f/2.8 IS, EF 28 f/2.8 IS and EF 24-70 f/2.8L II have not begun shipping yet, and we’re hearing July 2012 at the earliest. The Speedlite 600EX-RT has begun shipping in pretty good quantities. cr

Dmisita:
24-70 is still listed in their website. Where is the discontinuation notice?

Canon Rumors:
Retailers have received the notices.

dswatson83:
I am a little surprised at the 24mm & 28mm. The new ones have IS and really are different lenses not to mention radically different prices. The new ones are also not available and even when they are may take some time to reach full stock levels. I would have liked to see the 580 go a little longer as well since the new one is so expensive.

Not too surprising - the price increases are quite steep, but that's consistent with many other recent Canon releases.
