I am an amateur photographer and recently got very interested in Bird photography.
Right now I have very constrained gear in a 550D, 70-200 F4L IS.
I do not like the 18MP sensor 550D has as it is too noisy above 800 ISO along with horrible noise in shadows.
Since Canon 7D has the same sensor, I do not want to buy 7D. Waiting for 7D mk II with high hopes is the only thing I can do.
On lens part, I thought of buying a 100-400 L but then decided not to seeing rumors about the new 100-400 floating around.
Is it wise to pony up and save for next 100-400 L ?
Thanks,

I would be shocked if its up graded within two or three years. It's at present one of Canon's finest lenses.

I would be interested too if we had a Canon dSLR the size of an old film AE or smaller. Unfortunately we'd need wafer-thin components first.BJNY said:

With the upcoming 200-400 F4 w/1.4x, how likely would it be for Canon to manufacture a variant of the 200-400 f4 without the 1.4x as an alternative?! 
This lens could be offered at a much lower price point than the 200-400 w/ 1.4x, but likely well above what the current 100-400 is going for (guess $5k). Looking at the L Series offerings, a 200-400 (non 1.4x) would fit well in the current line of super-telephoto zooms and primes.

16-35 on ff is as wide as the much praised 10-22 ef-s thing
True. Canon needs their own 'Holy Trinity'.

I would rather have a 10-600 f/2 perfectly alligned for an APS-C, weighing not more than 500 gram, which has perfect image quality, no vingetting or CA at all, fully sharp wide open, and is delivered as a kit lens.
Sold seperately for under $1000.
Likelyness it is going to happen? About the same as other suggestions made here

If this really were a lens I would be fist in line, getting a fast wide is essential in gig photography, a little wider than 24 would be unbeatable.
