Canon EOS 7D Successors [CR1]

[aznable]

I keep saying APS-H is just too good to shelve.  It doesn't give up very much to the 5DIII sensor as it is.  I wouldn't hesitate to add a 1.3 7D to my stable. 

Could this be the 120mps monster they showed a couple of years ago - that would wipe the smirk of the D800 fanboys 

120mpix,40 EV, 2m iso usable and sub $1500 price of course … of course the 9.5 fps of 2 years ago is unacceptable....we need 16 fps as minimum

APSH 7DII sounds good to me

Snowcones and popsicles in hell sound good, too, and just about as likely... 

Careful. That kind of candor can get you deleted around here.

Entertaining, but not gonna happen. Congrats to CR guy though. Great way to boost readership and stir up interest during the summer, while we wait for the real announcements.

probably too early but ....

how do you like your egg?

I know I am showing my ignorance, but I'll ask anyway. APS-H (1.3) - Would it support EF-S? I would assume not! I only own one (10-22mm).

hummm some sigma lenses works but with an very high vignetting/blur on the edges of frame; you can sell your 10-22 an buy something else anyway

[wickidwombat]

I think it would be possible to design it by paying attention to the mirror assebly clearances to support EF-S lenses however you will get vignetting in the corners

Whites only, infused with silver halide crystals and dried onto a glass plate please. Hold the Vegemite.

There's going to be alot of crow eating if the 7D is APS-H.

You don't drive on the Westgate freeway enough.

I just have a nagging feeling that with firmware v2 coming for the 7D that a successor to the 7D is a while away.  Canon wants to try to give the 7D legs for a while longer is what the new firmware release looks like to me.

no matter aps-c or aps-h,i just wanna know when could i  get a NEW camera.september?don't be later,please

[dlleno]

well, its still only CR1 and seems to have appeared again only because its a rumor that won't go away... But I still like the concept of 7DX, leaving 70D to rule the 1.6x world. whether or not Canon likes it is quite another matter!

Alas, the 7D firmware update signals to me that it may still be a year before we see it

I know I am showing my ignorance, but I'll ask anyway. APS-H (1.3) - Would it support EF-S? I would assume not! I only own one (10-22mm).

It can work from about 14~15mm onwards supposedly. (Someone tried with a 1DMkIII some time ago, maybe you can try a search on it ..)

But if such a camera does come about, i would be in Canon's best interest to have a crop-compatibility mode that toggles between 1.6x and 1.3x crop. This would be a great way to make everyone happy ... and ensure that it becomes a great selling camera !

and increase FPS in crop mode would be a real winner say 8FPS in APS-H and 10 FPS in APS-C mode

APS-H would be fine under some conditions:

The mount supports EF-s lenses (it's possible a less-than-full-frame mirror could fit here).
The software supports shooting in 1.6-crop mode for both EF-s lenses and EF lenses.
The pixel density is the same or higher than the 70D (the 70D can't have a reach advantage).
The viewfinder has some markings or overlay or something for 1.6-crop.
The camera remains under $2k.

By the way:  (1.6/1.25)^2 * 22MP = 36MP.
