Sounds about right.
Logged
The same way people have received the majority of Canon's offerings in the past year. People will read the specs and:
•First, scream and cry about the lack of megapixels and dynamic range.
•Then, complain about how it's far too expensive and that Sony and Nikon have xxx for $xxx less.
•Flood of posts from people complaining about how Canon is neglecting their customers because they personally wanted a 5D4 or 1DX2 instead of a 7D2.
•Then talk about all the stuff that they hope Canon addresses in a future firmware update.
•Then get antsy about pre-orders and shipping and create threads asking if anyone has gotten theirs in yet.
•Then when it takes a while, we'll get a flood of "I'm switching to Nikon" threat posts and demands that Canon fix their production lines (regardless of natural disasters).
Then when it finally comes out people will talk about how awesome it is and how much they love it, and how they never doubted Canon for a minute.

+100 That made me laugh... NAILED IT !!!
Wondering out loud as an owner of 2 7D's and to the forum... what is the number one thing I/you hated about the 7D? For me it was the noise! Fix that and make it practically waterproof. Love my 7d's but now using the 5D3. It's hard to reach for a 7D when you have that available. The reason I started using the 7D was due to my 5D2s dated AF capabilities. I had a 1DX but decided to go with 5D3s. Great camera many times it was too much for the situation and the 5D3 was just a better fit... for me. A 7D2 could sit nicely in the area between 5D3 and 1DX. If Canon would level the playing field in AF to say a 5D3, or maybe better (I can dream). Improve the sensor in APS-C format, make it a rugged beast for outdoor shite with fastish fps... sign me up for the 7D2.

Either way, that doesn't close the door on an EOS 70D though - when asked when we can expect one, Maeda promises: 'some day in the future. Without fail.'
