Looks interesting.

Might show up in the expected 60D.

And based on what I've read elsewhere online, I think it's just *one* lens, at least for now.

Sorry, I am off base. I was linking this to in-camera IS instead of lens IS.

Scratch the 60D comment!

Improved optical image stabilization for the Canon 5D Mark II, Rebel T1i and future EOS-related, video-capable cams from Canon.
