IS? Someone has been reading too much canonrumors.com, so far one can only dream... though maybe later this week with a little luck.



Someone has been reading my post too fast, actually. []Scroll up, re-read, and you'll notice that I recommended and was talking about the EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM lens, and that I referred to the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L "for comparison" in terms of having a similar full-frame angle of view to the 17-55mm on a 1.6x crop body like the XS that the original poster has.


Unless you are referring to yourself as the one reading too muchcanonrumors.com - in that case, I take it all back... []
