I wish they could come out with an IS version of Bigma 50-500mm in L series.
Also the price of f/4 70-200mm, if correct as stated, is a bit high IMO as it would make more sense to be close or just under the f/2.8 non IS cousin.
What I am just wondering for not only Canon, but Nikon and VR lenses, is what would their response be toward the very smart approach of Sony in keeping IS / VR inside the body, therefore making any lens IS capable, as put on the new married Sony-body, Minolta-Lens digital SLR, "Alpha A-100 DSLR"  |
The prices are American RRP and no doubt real world prices will be a fair bit lower. I wonder what the UK prices will be though I am not interested in either.
Canon argue that IS in the lens works better rather like the motor in the lens rather than the body for autofocus. The new 70-200 claims 4 stops! However it does make things expensive buying IS for every lens and I think most consumers would prefer body IS. Reckon Canon did not think of it first and then develop it so are a long way down the lens IS route, maybe they will have to drop the price of IS eventually.
