EOS 7D
The beginning of the 7D rumor began back in January. We had been told Canon would axe the “xxD” moniker and move to a more competitive camera with the Dxxx line from Nikon.
Just 1 SLR in August?
I received an email today we'll only be seeing a replacement of the 50D in August. No 1D upgrade at this time. A 1D probably deserves its own launch anyway. Canon needs to market the heck out of the line.
Spec List 1 (NL)
* FF
* 3″ OLED
* 12.7 MP
* ISO100-25600
* Digic IV
* Wide DR mode, sRAW
* 9 focus points (+6)
* 3.4 FPS
* Pentaprism, same as 5dII
* No video
* No flash
* $1999 target
Spec List 2 (CR)
* 15.1mp (apparently it will be the same sensor with some internal upgrades)
* DIGIC V (DIGIC IV a stopover to a big advancement in processing)
* New 13 Point AF
* 1080p Movie Mode
* 8fps
* 3″ VGA LCD
* 98% VF
* New Battery
* Weathersealing
* Ergonomic Upgrades
* 1x Compact Flash and 1x Secure Digital Slots
A new one floating around today says Dual DIGIC IV, 8fps and a 15.1mp APS-C sensor.
No “Affordable” Full Frame
Another email today says we will NOT be seeing another full frame camera added to Canon's lineup, nor will there be another APS-H.

If you say so…the 5D was 12.8 MP, just bump up the fps to 8 or 9, add a video mode, and call it the 7D. It’s more likely than spoof list #2 being a 7D instead of a 60D.
If this camera has the newer Digic V chip, and if it is priced same as the D300s, Canon will sell a whole lot of these.
The 5D is not made any more. Canon no longer sells them. Dealers can no longer buy them from Canon. Just because some places still have one and they’re trying to sell it for under $2000 doesn’t make it Canon’s offering at the $2000 price point.
APS-H is dead
