    7D 150x150 - A 60D & 7D? [CR1]
    "I'm bringing a friend"

    A DPR poster is making reference to a 60D being available alongside a cheaper FF 7D.

    60D Specs
    14.7mp (APS-C)
    More AF Points
    1080p Video

    CR's Take
    I have never discounted that there could be TWO new prosumer SLR's coming down the pipe. A 7D only would make very little sense spec wise. There would be no fast canon SLR other than the 50D and 1D Mark III (or IV when it's replaced). We have heard solid rumors in favor of both cameras existing.

    These 60D specs are pretty wonky, a new sensor? I think Canon could improve the current 15.1mp sensor as they did with the XTI sensor to the 40D.

      If the 7D is only 3.9fps with a FF (or APS-H) sensor, there must be a 60D on the way: if not, Canon will no longer be present in the APS-C market which will be dominated by Nikon.
      It does exist a true market for the APS-C sensor (including some professionals) and Canon has no choice: it must be present on it.
      Maybe Canon would prefer the FF or the APS-H market (because it generates higher sales of big and expensive (and heavy…) telephoto lenses), but this is another story.
      So I am sure that Canon will not take the risk to lose APS-C clients and will propose a “serious” body in this format.
      Nikon has already said to maintain both FF and APS-C formats, it would be a risky game for Canon to abandon one of these…

      basically I want a “in viewfinder live view” with an AF cross type + (double diagonal type) where you can place it anywhere . C’mon Canon!!!

      … and what will be the first lens with the new IS ?

      Any rumor about that?
      Is it real and ready for production of EF-lenses?

      Looks like offical leaks from Canon if you ask me. I’ve been wanting to but the 50D for a few months now but I’ve been holding off for the 60D/7D announcement.

      If they announce it in early September, when can we expect to see it on the shelves of out local camera store????

      Can anyone guess from past DSLR announcement experiernce??

      I have got a overseass trip coming up in early October and dont think I could go without a SLR!

      Come on Canon!!!! haha

      Anyone got any ideas? I think its usually a month…
