I voted other. Canon is going to make a lot more money by releasing the II first and then in 7-10 years releasing an IS version so all the pros have to upgrade twice to keep the best quality zoom.

And then out comes the Sigma 24-70 / 2.8A OS, matching, or beating, the performance of the 24-70 / 2.8L II at a lower price point.

Still, there are a decent number that will only buy Canon, so...

I can't wait for Sigma to come out with their 24-70mm f2.8 OS lens. I'm hoping that they announce their 70-200 f.2.8 OS at the same time.

I'd love a 200 / 2.8L IS from Canon, but I was looking more for a 100-300 / 4A OS from Sigma.
