When I bought my Canon 7D in 2009, I was looking at the 100-400 and the professional rumor mongers were saying, don't, Canon is coming out with a new model of the 100-400. 6 month later, I bought the Sigma 120-400 because the new 100-400 is "just around the corner." 2013 and the new 100-400 is still "just around the corner." The question should rather be which crystal ball or which century.

The main problem is that the current 100-400L f/4-5.6 sells for around $1800 (in Canada), any new version will be of a magnitude more. Lately, Canon hasn't cheapened their new L lenses, with some new lenses more than $10,000. Again the rumor mill (the one that is always wrong but that I still check on a weekly basis) says that the future 200-400 will be in the $6000 range...
