A Shake-up Coming to the APS-C DSLR Lineup? [CR2]

[Talys]

Raise your hand if you yourself (no, not a spouse or whomever) would buy one of these proposed (and rumored) models. Yeah, that's what I thought. A bunch of guys on the internet complaining about things that aren't even up their alley.

I will almost certainly buy an 80D/7DII successor if the image quality is improved. It's my workhorse camera and is just about perfect -- being APSC doesn't matter, because practically every shot is ISO100.

Which APSC successor -- now that's more interesting. It's possible I might like the in-between model better. What I want:

- If one model had visibly better high ISO IQ, that would be huge
- Size: I quite like the 80D size. But it's not determinative by any means.
- Flippy screen - must have!
- Fancy autofocus - I would really appreciate center expanding points. I don't care about the rest of it (Cases iTTR, tracking, blah blah blah). If one model had faster autofocus, that would be big.
- I would take UHSII model, over one that didn't, if only for faster read times when offloading to PC.
- I don't care about video at all.
- I don't care about FPS, as long as it's at least 8.

I have no interest in an APS-C dSLR. But then, I'm not complaining about them, either.

I've been saving/planning for a 7D3 if the price and features are reasonable.

Oh wait, this isn't the Rebel T8i thread?

 

[mover]

I wonder how much the law of diminishing returns is affecting this shake up?

I fully expect to buy two 7DIIIs, one for me and one for my spouse.

Yeah, bit you guys are only considering it because you're locked into the Canon system and are being forced to stay there, right? Because we all know that the D500 is better than the 7DIII can possibly be, right? And the D510 will be even better, right?

neuroanatomist: near miss. I´m locked with Canon because other manufacturers have greater problems on their hands. I jumped once, and saw what a mistake I did. Now, for the company solving everything major problem, working generaly well, it´s quite shame that they don´t go after some other things some more. Technology is there, everybody else does it, but not Canon. But what I see they actually go after it. It just takes more time than expected. See poor sensor (DR) performance apology way, and others. Now we´re probably heading to the end of poor lens selection era for EOS M. All this wasn´t debunked at the time of discussion, but it was, eventually in time for the isuue discussed.

You chose Canon because their system better meets your needs. Makes perfect sense to me.

If all my gear were stolen I'd take a hard look at the D500 and Nikon glass. I don't know that I'd buy, but I'd seriously consider it.

UHS-II is backward compatible with previous SD versions, so you can get faster read times when offloading to PC by inserting a UHS-II card into whichever camera's SD slot.

 

[AvTvM]

for camera itself D500 clearly beats 7D II. But for me the days of mirrorslappers (and half-format sensors) are over .

What a way to build excitement, eh Canon...lets just give it a year or so.

Lame.

Dinosaur brand (for bodies), it now seems.

 

[neuroanatomist]

Dinosaur brand

Yep. Dominant species, no asteroid in sight.

Excitement? What? For a tool? Really?

Excitement is for personal experiences, not for inanimate tools. YMMV.

Please, go buy your Sony and stop trolling this website.

With the new speed of the new high megapixel cameras, D850 & AR7III, it is making it harder and harder for me to consider a crop sensor like the 7d III if that is what it will be. I love my original 7d but it is easier for me to do creative cropping in post with a high megapixel photo. I have just been waiting patiently for the new 5DRII to see what the fps will be. I would be happy with 6 or 8 fps and better DR. If nothing by end 2019 I probably will have to switch. I am getting older and time is one thing I can't replace.

Really? I had no idea you felt that way! glad that's cleared things up :
