In 2009?
There's a chance Canon could be replacing the 70-200 f/2.8L IS in 2009. The lens will be 8 years old since it was launched. It will have a new 4-5 stop IS & improved optics across the entire range.
If it is launched in 2009, logic would say it'd be launched with the 1Dx. Same source says Canon will also do away with the non-IS version of the lens once stocks deplete. That could be anywhere between 2009 – 2011.
Personally, I don't think we'll see it in 2009… but stranger things have happened.

I am with everyone on the 24-70mm f/2.8 IS update. I would sell my 24-105mm f/4 for that lens. Although… a 24-105mm f/2.8 IS would be sexiest…….
YES Jerry a 24-105 f/2.8 IS is a gold over the blue!!!
What would be the point in a ef-s 50-150? there is already a 55-200 is for consumers, and a 70-200 for pros.
An EF 18-70 f/4/2.8 IS would be nice, wider angle than 24mm on aps-c sensor but could still use it on a full frame (when i can finaly afford it!).

Adam, the 70-200 is too tight at the 70mm end on a crop body for many situations.
