What is missing from the 7DII specs

[RGF]

Lots of discussion about this spec.  WOndering how the camera (granted this is a rumor and the camera is not real) could be improved.

I undecided between more AF Points and a second card slot.  Thus I am allowing 2 votes per person (plus I live outside Chicago were everyone votes early and votes often).

If I were to upgrade, my main concern, owning a 40 D, is how noise free the higher ISO's will be. Shooting at 3200 iso in a dark theatre, the images on the 40 D just have to much noise.  I don't see the current 7 D as having much better noise performance than my 40 D.  But I imagine the price will be too high and I will be stuck looking at a
70 D.

Headphone socket?
Video GOP pattern options?

Higher ISO - not as in 'available as a setting' but as in 'useable with low noise'.  IMO this is unlikely unless Canon fundamentally changes their sensor fab tech, but at least 1-stop and preferably more.  If ISO 8000 on a 7DII looks like ISO 3200 on the 7D, I'll most likely buy one. AF at f/8 and a multicontroller on the grip would cinch the deal.

The latest specs are very realistic. I don't think anything is missing from them.

Those who expect a 1DX at a 3x cheaper price ... will be disappointed.

Hey all,

    ISO and dual card slots.... to me, are no brainers. Cleaner files with more storage without changing cards... EASY!!!

Too open-ended.  Everyone, I'm sure, WANTS all of the 1DX specs in the 7D Mark II all for about $2500.  Ain't gonna happen.  I can see, however, another stop of useable ISO over the 7D.  If you add in dual card slots too, and more accurate AF than the 7D, then yes, you have a camera there.

I personally think that you cannot find any camera with NOISE FREE even at ISO 100...

At 10FPS, 2 Card slots would come in handy.

I am happy with my 7D so I won't really be disappointed if they don't significantly upgrade the 7DII. I think it's crazy how often people choose to upgrade their bodies for only minimal advancements. More lenses please

[rumorzmonger]

You left out "facts" as an option - that's the one I would have picked.

Headphone socket?

+1 ... it is one of the nicest things I like for video ... I use it a lot on 5D3 would be nice to have it on the 7D II

[Rienzphotoz]

Also, in-built HDR ... comes in very handy

[RS2021]

As for the multiple card slots, more AF points, more fps, etc etc in the choices offered...you left out one thing..."realistic expecations"

[Don Haines]

I am sure it will have a touchscreen....

I am almost sure it will have HDR

F8 focussing would be most welcome, but I doubt it will happen....

Some extra video modes and recording formats would be nice....

I would really like some crop video modes from the center of the sensor ( great for astrophotography)

I can live very happily without most of the "feature modes" that seem to be multiplying on newer cameras

[Rienzphotoz]

I am sure it will have a touchscreen....

What makes you so sure that it will have touchscreen ... any sources?

F8 focussing would be most welcome, but I doubt it will happen....

That would be more than welcome, f/8 would be freakin AWESOME!, especially for a camera with a crop frame that can do 10fps, as it would allow 2x tele-convertors giving incredible reach.
