At least a few reviews are showing up. Doesn't look like he got his in a kit.

I still think version I is a good value, but the refresh is definitely welcome. I know Canon's IS has improved significantly in the past five years or so. Why didn't the reviewer mention it at all???

No idea, and a good point...

Also, although he was a day later, there's another thread about it here

To me it isn't clear whether Bailey was comparing to the original ef 24-70mm f/2.8 or version II.

I'm assuming he was comparing to Version I, as he never mentions II, and this would make more sense in terms of the sharpness comparison.

I think better IS was one of the key hopes for the new 24-105mm!

No, he is comparing it to version II. He mentions this numerous times in the comments section.

Yea he states it in the review a few times..

Ok, now I see it. That is some claim!
