If canon puts a 21-22 MP APS-H sensor with 8-10 fps on the new 7D2 .. i will buy one regardless of the price...
Ah yes, APS-H....
* Not enough extra reach to matter for telephoto.
* Not enough extra surface area to matter for high ISO.
* Just enough crop to kill FF UWA lenses, but not enough crop to use APS-C UWA lenses.
APS-H was an odd digital format and a necessary, but less than ideal and therefore temporary, compromise on Canon's part. It should rest in peace.
Why the hype? We're all enjoying all the great features and improvments that the highly publicized 7D firmware upgrades did for us, right? Who needs a new 7D?
Hi,
The title says it all.
Cheers

<p><strong>What can we expect in early 2013?<br />
</strong>I’m told we’ll be seeing two seperate announcements in back to back months in 2013. We’ll see announcements in February and March, one of the announcements will be a “major” event. Sometimes the word “major” is used incorrectly.</p>
<p><strong>EOS-M<br />
</strong>Apparently, one of the announcements will be to introduce a second EOS-M body. The body will be slightly bigger, and have a viewfinder. They will also introduce at least two new lenses with the body. I’d expect a telephoto zoom and a fast prime.</p>
<p><strong>EOS 7D Mark II<br />
</strong>One of these announcement dates will also be for the EOS 7D replacement. No word on specs, but it’s suggested the camera/segment will get a new naming scheme.</p>
<p><strong>Big Megapixel<br />
</strong>The 40+ mp camera gets another mention and we should expect an announcement in Q1 of 2013. The camera will be physically bigger than the 5D Mark III, but will be smaller than the EOS-1D X. It’s noted that the sensor is currently in EOS-1D X styled bodies.</p>

. But who knows ... judging the fact that Nikon is beating the hell out of Canon lately ... The APS-H sensor can be the ace in the sleeve for Canon, and definitely a hard blow for Nikon.
Dont want a general discussion for this topic but much more of a specific thing-
I´m mostly shooting landscapes, nature (no wildlife yet), studio (stock and people) and some high iso events.
I dont need fast FPS but i need a good enough autofocus which can lock on in dark locations. Both the 6D and the 5d2 only have one crosstype so it would be a downgrade from my 40d, would it?
For stock 21 MP are better then 20 because they reach a bigger size to sell (2o MP are just under the edge), the 5d2 also has the PC-Sync port...
High ISO: I think we can all agree that the 6d will be better in those situations?
Money: I can get a new 5d2 for 1500€, or a slightly used one for 1300 with the BG and i wouldnt need new Cards because i got the CF Cards. 6D+BG+Cards would be over 2200€. Do you think it´s worth it for what i shoot?
PS: Wlan and GPS are both interesting for me but i didnt miss them in the 40D.
The only thing I can see causing this are extremely high prices and a lack of innovation. I don't think the sensor stuff and DR stuff matters to the majority of DSLR users. I know quite a few pro-photographers and not one of them ever mentions dynamic range. It sounds like a lot of benchmarking tech geeks are on the message board. It reminds me of how people judge graphics cards by using 3DMark scores instead of actually using real games to judge their GPU. Even though I have a 5D3, in 2012 a camera should have built in wifi and usb 3.0 for $3500. I wonder how much these cameras actually cost to make and how much profit would they lose by adding little modern conveniences.
Apparently, Nikon sales is rising.

Do we have any figures on Canon's sales? I know Nikon market share is still below that of Canon but I hope Canon do something with it not only on the marketing side but also on the technology side.
I'd swap a 5D Classic for the 1DS MK II in a moment. Its certainly not a even trade, 16mp rather than 12, much better AF, longer battery life, the list of plusses is long.
I'd have a hard time understanding why anyone would not swap. If it were the 1D rather than a 1DS, then they would be equal.
