I love it. I had the sigma version before and the canon is much better. I couldn't stand the amount of flare and glare i was getting with the sigma. The colors looked really washed out and contrast was seriously lacking. The Canon's gigantic hood does a really good job of blocking out the sun and the colors, sharpness and contrast are way way way better. Oh, and the canon has USM... nuff said.
The Sigma wasn't a bad lens though, the Canon is just much better. However, it does cost like 3 times more. I wonder how the Sigma 24-70 HSM performs though...
Oh, and about what Senna said, on all these new FF cameras with ridiculously low noise and high ISO, IS is not really needed anymore. I do fine without IS on both my 24-70L and my 200L with my 20D. But then again, I am shooting outside the majority of the time.
