So will there be a 7D Mark III in my/our future?
Do you mean a final high-performance EF mount body? Depends what was in the pipeline. And if there's enough EF lens inventory around the world to justify it. And of course there will be lots of used EF and EF-S lenses sloshing about.
Canon's EF to RF mount adapters seem brilliant at this point, so buying a last dSLR now with a few carefully considered EF lenses would be reasonable.
And the 7D III would be good for Big Whites, updated or older versions. But that seems a small market for a new body.
My guess, slightly better than 50-50 chance. Out on a limb, yes, one more and done.
Here's a question for you: Do you think new photographers without an investment in any brand of gear will be choosing dSLR's, and, if so, which brand would they go with right now?
Over the past decade, big manufacturing corporations have learned to calculate product flows with amazing accuracy. If Canon has been planning the move to RF for some time now, and they have a timeline for tapering off EF production, how overstocked do you think warehouses, distribution centers, and retail shops are at this point? How overstocked do you think they will be a year from now?Surely you jest...
