Canon 28-70mm f/2.8 with IS for DSLRs?

Has anybody heard anything about Canon actually supporting us DSLR owners and releasing a Canon 28-70mm f/2.8 with IMAGE STABILIZATION??? Or even a new 5Ds DSLR? Screw mirrorless.

Probably not until Canon release the 5D5.

No and no...

EF I understand to be getting no new developments in the lens department. I expect a few bodies for the next ten years, but probably dwindling down to one model. Any lenses already developed are likely to make it out.

It depends on sales. Right now, sales are really poor. Canon thinks that sales of mirrorless lens is going to be more profitable.

Richard Shepherd, pro product marketing senior manager at Canon Europe, has said in interview in Digital Camera World that "And of course, should the market demand it, we are ready to create new EF lenses. But for now, our focus is on RF", so I wouldn't expect any new EF lenses.

Photography equipment sales are shrinking fast. On top of that, cameras & lenses have become so good, most photographers have no need to upgrade. For Canon, the RF mount is a chance to begin again in a golden land of opportunity and adventure of making photographers buy new cameras and lenses all over again.

Not making an EF 24-70mm f/2.8L IS USM, which Canon is rumored to have developed, is one way to get there.
