A less expensive FF?
A chinese forum apparently had a post about Jackie Chan filming a commercial for the Canon EOS 7D. The forum pulled the thread.
Specs that were also pulled:
15mp FF
13 AF Points
Dual Slot
DIGIC V
CR's Take
I have doubts a more affordable full frame option would have anything other than the autofocus of the 5D Mark II.

Ha! The translation on this is crazy! What’s up with google translating some word over and over as “crab”?
After reading this, it looks like November release for the 7D FF.
All of this additions and with cheaper price ?
It’s not supposed to compete with FF, it’s supposed to bury the APS-C cams. Sony is supposed to be coming out with a stripped-out FF cam at around $2k soon, Nikon has the APS-C D300s; I think Canon could do very well with a 16-18MP 1.3x semi-pro sports/PJ/Wildlife cam. There’s no way they’ll sell a 6-8 fps FF cam with high end focusing for less than a 5D and APS-C is nearing a brick wall resolution/noise wise, so why not APS-H?
Because APS-H was intended to top APS-C back before any FF existed, and at the time it was as close to FF as you could get – hense it became Canon’s pro camera. Now FF is here, competition is releasing it, and prices have dropped on FF so there is no point to keeping APS-H.
1.3 crop ruins your wide angle and it’s not much of a tele advantage and you are limited to FF lenses so you can’t regain your wide angle like you can via EF-S on APS-C. We’re better off with a FF dynamic crop so we can use our wide angle lenses and crop when we want. Unless you want Canon to suck and offer more limited and outdated cameras than the competition, in which case keeping APS-H makes sense.
