<p><strong>EOS 7D Mark II in March?

</strong>A spec list has shown up for an EOS 7D Mark II with a possible announcement in March of 2014.</p>
<p>According to the rumor, the sensor is not yet confirmed, though it does mention it won’t be the same as the EOS 70D. Also a mention of innovative video features, something we’ve talked about previously. There’s not much new here as far as specs go, but at least the camera is being talked about.</p>

<li>20MP or 24MP sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF</li>
<li>Auto-Focus system similar to the EOS 5D Mark III (61 points), possibly the same as 5D3</li>
<li>High frame rate, 10-12 fps</li>
<li>“high grade” weather sealing, like Canon’s professional DSLRs</li>
<li>Dual Digic V+ processor</li>
<li>Single card slot</li>
<li>WiFi & GPS</li>
<li>Innovative video features</li>
<li>Price around $2000</li>

</ul>

<p><strong>2013 hasn’t been a stellar year for Canon</strong>

Canon Inc., the world’s largest camera maker, cut its annual profit forecast and predicted its first drop in sales of models with an interchangeable lens as consumers switch to smartphones to take photos.</p>
<p>Net income will probably total 240 billion yen ($2.5 billion) for the year ending December, the Tokyo-based company said in a statement yesterday, cutting its earlier forecast of 260 billion yen. The new projection missed the 250.8 billion-yen average of 21 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg.</p>
<p>Smartphones are eating into digital camera sales as companies such as Apple Inc. and Sony Corp. release new handsets with stronger built-in lenses and sensors to lure shoppers. The value of worldwide camera shipments dropped 19 percent in August from a year earlier, a ninth consecutive monthly decline, according to the Camera & Imaging Products Association in Tokyo.</p>
