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.

I agree to an extent, but Phil is not a god and does not know everything about photography.
what are Sigma and Tamron waiting for release a 70-200 f2.8 estabilized version? They need these lenses to cover demands against expensive Canon 70-200 L f2.8 IS.
I think we don’t need that much these 70-300 OS.
Phil, point taken, but I would differ a bit on the “it all comes out in post” statement.
post-processing is crucial, but not nearly as crucial as shooting it right in the first place.
that being said, I acknowledge for any sort of professional or even portfolio work, the bare bones RAW shot is never the end product.
I didn’t mean that it (noise/distortion) litteraly comes “out” in post. I met that between technique and composition, post is a crucial means to an end product. Of course the camera is important, but it’s a tool… if you look at any of the recent (digital, jim fiscus comes to mined) great photographers they’ll all tell you it was the development of their technique in capturing that photo, and their process (editing, correcting, etc) in post that ultimately made them famouse, the camera was the tool that got them there, granted an important one. My point of the original post, yes MP’s are important, what’s more important is your aproach, your technique, and delivery. it’s as simple as that. But I’m happy bout the 7D. I’m definitely buying one!
+1 yeah, I’m definitely getting one of these. and I do agree post-processing is critical to making an image what it is, and I’d go even further — it’s not a recent thing, it’s always been part of photography. ansel adams PP’ed the hell out of his prints to get them to look as incredible as they do. otherwise he would have been another guy taking [really awesome] snapshots.
