This is the actual lens review (i.e. real usage take from a photographer, this is not Roger's OLAF results):

However, Canon and Nikon both show it off better, and so when I’m looking for a 24-70mm lens to use as my next all around lens, I’m opting for the Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II over the Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art Series.

IS has its price in this focal length as it seems. Nikkor seems to struggle as well, at longer FL:

Not to mention, it's noticeably heavier and more expensive.

Many people criticize Canon not to include IS in the 24-70/2.8L II. Seeing these results with stabilized 24-70 lenses, I'm glad they did omit IS altogether...
