The best write-up for the newly announced Canon products is at http://www.robgalbraith.com/ They have links to 20-page Canon white papers on the 5D and 1D mk2 N.

Their page on the 24-105 f/4 IS L confirms it is internal focus and zoom, and has this interesting quote: "Chuck Westfall, Canon USA's Director of Media and Customer Relationship, says that based on a brief look at the EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM by Canon USA staff, he's expecting that it will be optically as good, if not better, than the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM."

That's good to hear, considering the $1249 MAP listed is ~$100 more than the going price for the 24-70 f/2.8 L from reputable dealers. I'm really interested in this lens, but I originally hoped it might be in the same range as the other f/4 L zooms, rather than twice that much...
