With this lens being much shorter than traditional 70-200mm.  Do you think optically it will be as good?

It's only short because it extends forward when you zoom. Typical lenses of that type keep everything within the lens housing, but stuff still moves around. From a bag perspective, I can see how this form factor would be advantageous.

Canon isn't going to produce a $2700 lens without it being optically amazing. Not sure why anyone would think otherwise.

I've been with Canon for a number of years and can speak on the L lenses, these are simply some of the best optics money can buy.  This lens is going to be a game changer I bet.

It will be optically better. The shortness is from a design change and not a compromise on quality.
