85 f/1.4
The only rumor I have received about Sigma comes in the form of an 85 f/1.4 being announced. It's an older rumor.
Tamron & Tokina
I haven't received any information for a while about these companies.

Kubelik,
Good point and I agree that we need to be patient and not assume that high megapixels with a certain sensor size automatically means bad quality. My point was not anti-megapixels as I love my 5d mark II. My point is more megapixels aren’t the cure all. As Phil said below…
“If you can’t compose a photo technically and edit beautifuly in post, it doesn’t matter whether you have a DSLR or a point n shoot, your photos will look like crap, whether you have 8mp or 18.”
Every photographer has different needs with their shooting style but personally I wish Canon would come out with a $1800 camera that shot fast with a high buffer rate in RAW (like 30 frames in the 1D mark III). If that means a 7d with a 15mp sensor verses a 18mp sensor I’d take the lower megapixels.
Chase Jarvis is the man!
Oh, and what does +1 mean? Is it like saying a quick “I agree”? Pardon my ignorance.
I have the non OS version of the lens. It is capable of very nice shots but it is not so good with my 300D or my 40D. I replaced it with a Canon 70-200 f/4. Much better and will focus on my 40D with my Tamron 1.4x with little or not degradation in IQ.
As for the 7D, I think it marks the end of the xxD line.
