Canon EOS 7D (New Source)

7D 150x150 - 7D & Announcements [CR1]
Canon EOS 7D?

This is the gist of a message I received about the upcoming SLR announcements.

Announcement of at least 1 DSLR on September 1st/2nd (Depends on planet location).

Specs were sketchy at best, but the following information was given.

– First Prosumer dSLR with Dual DIGIC processors from Canon.
– First Prosumer dSLR with dual card slots from Canon.
– Camera will NOT be full frame, but no crop given.
– Video features will best the 5D Mark II.
– Better AF as compared to the 50D & 5D Mark II.
– Noise Control is better than 50D and arguably better than the 5D Mark II.
– Very similar pixel density to the 5D Mark II.

New 1D
A new 1D will not be announced with the above camera.

  1. The rumors are getting weak. Yes 1d, no 1d, aug 25, sept 1, 7d, 60d. Who knows. Also, I’m beginning to believe their DSLR announcement will be as “ho-hum” as their point and shoots.

  2. nothing, and you are right about the chill out, i will…

    and hes i have had a 5dii for a few days, it was fun and i realized how it was back in the times of the film cameras. since i found the 5dii a little too big and a little too expensive, i was just hoping to see a cheaper consumer-ff-body appear with the 7d. not anytihing moar than wishes.

  3. Well, I was hoping to replace my 20D with a full frame camera, but this would do (especially if it’s APS-H). I’m hoping for $1500-1800 MSRP.

    Besides, if I want full frame, I’ll keep shooting film. (:

  4. smaller? are we talking about milimeters here?
    I agree about high ISO quality between a xxxD and XXD, but generally, it’s all about the ergonomics and handling! personally, that’s why I prefer a xxD body over an xxxD
