do you think canon will come out with the IS version of the 24-70 lens anytime soon? also, how long has the 24-70 been around?

The current version has been around since 2002. Nikon's 24-70 doesn't have VR and was released, what, last year? Hey, I wouldn't mind seeing a 24-70L with IS... of course, it'd probably mean that my 24-70 would lose some value but oh well, it'll still take nice pics Gear Listhttp://www.codastudios.com.au

NO! I'm thinking about picking one up in the next couple of weeks. Now I might need to think about holding out... --Mike--

I feel you, i was really considering picking up a 24-70 but i think ill just hold out till the IS version comes out. i have a ef-s 17-55 IS so that should hold me till then.

Well, maybe an even trade, but I suspect that there would be a price premium (at least at first) of $200-300 for the priviledge of having IS and at that focal length, it isn't all that important to me.

Yeah, after I calmed down and thought about it I doubt they would release an IS version for the same price. Plus, if there are any issues I don't want to be a beta tester. I think I will still pick it up in the next couple of weeks. Worst case, I sell it next year to get the IS version. --Mike--

TitusvilleSurfer Senior Member  784 posts Joined Nov 2007 Location: Titusville, FL More info | Feb 14, 2008 13:46 | #14 Look at how many 24-70s they sell compared to the 24-105 IS? It isn't needed anyway. I can hand hold mine with good results at 1/30. It is selling fine without IS, and it really doesn't need it. You could expect it to cost $400-600 more as well. If I had IS on a 24-70, it would rarely be used. 50D | G11 | 50mm f/1.4 | 70-200 f/2.8 IS | 580exII
