24-70 II in April? [CR2]
Canon Rumors:

The end in sight?
A good source says “I’d be surprised to see the next 24-70 not announced in April”. The source does caution things could go awry because of these apparent lens delays.
The source also says the lens will be “with IS”.
I look forward to the end of the speculation on this lens.

KWSW:
April announcement means by the time it hits local shores (SG) could be 3 months or even longer later with the all the delays in lens these days?
Well honestly I am very satisfied with the current one (UZ code) and unless its a confirm IS, I might just continue using the current one since its been very decent on my 7D.
Justin:
Why does this rumor seem so believable, this time and every time?
In any case, I look forward to the $2000 price and the year wait it will require to get one on a rebate status.
Mostly I look forward to having a fast zoom in this range. I bet Canon lightens it up a bit too. Without IS many people will not feel compelled to upgrade. Canon knows this.
The bigger question becomes will we see a new DSLR announced alongside?
MK5GTI:
so far, i like my brother's Sigma HSM version of the 24-70 better than my Canon 24-70, hopefully the version 2 will be optically better!
Bob Howland:
My question is whether this lens is being introduced to improve optical quality or to improve operation when new cameras are used in video modes. I own a current 24-70 and I can't imagine trying to zoom with it while taking video footage. It has been rumored that Canon will be introducing new video-oriented EF lenses in the near future. Could this be the first? One thing they might do is modify the EF lens mount to add power zoom functionality.
Just a conjecture.
