This is expected to be 4" shorter than the 200-500mm lens and weight around 1kg.  The image shows a gold ring around the lens so i would expect it to be more than double the price of the existing zoom with better image quality and faster autofocus, along with easier to handhold.

I had heard that there were issues with the Phase Detection focusing system?
