I am oddly excited about this lens. If this lens is decent - and most recent Canon entires have been - this plus the RP could make an excellent travel addition (and might cost less combined than the Sony 100-400 does alone).
Will be interesting to see the quality of a superzoom. I feel like there hasn't been a first party superzoom released for quite a few years.
Of course, none of us have used that lens yet, but historically, zooms that have such a wide focal range are not very good; very compromised.
Such lenses are a jack of all trades, great at nothing, and never remarkable.
That aside, f4 is too slow an aperture to make this lens worthwhile.
Is it any wonder Canon does not make this zoom an L grade lens?
This lens is for the soccer moms, not people with a passion for quality photography.
There have been some very decent superzoom for crop sensors from third parties. Even the Nikon 18-200 is decent. F/4 would not be the deal breaker here for me, it would need to be reasonably sharp. Let's see...
