Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
Wupps, I did some wrong research, the 7d has been around so long :-o - corrected.
And it seems some of the people here are in for a shock, either way of much more expensive or cheap than they anticipated ... that's Canon's price policy for you.
No way, the d7100 has the better af system hands down on paper, that won't change in real life. Canon might sidestep Nikon by offering better live-view af and gimmicks (wifi, firmware hdr/panorama).
Please vote for what you really estimate, or it gets confusing - I added this request to the top post.

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
I voted before reading all the comments, think it's always going to come out a little higher than the Nikon it's up against so I said 1300 but it won't be a round number, 1399 is a damn good guess.

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
I voted for 1300.. but with Canon, they might just jack up the price. It definitely won't be cheaper than the 7100 and it'll be much more expensive than what most of us probably assume it might be. Sad, but even without inflation, cost of production, advertising... It's Canon.
But this is very very exciting! Just got my SL1 to replace my t2i but I am really really considering this camera as my main. SL1 body feels like a point and shoot, not that it performs like that by any means.
All of the specs are kind of what I was looking for in an APS-C camera, and I think that's with most others. Especially after the, what I think is terrible, the 60D. Let's just hope that higher ISO sensitivity has more usability than the cameras now. That'll make it a winner!
One other thing... Will the 70D possibly increase the sales of the 7D? The 7D will be cheaper.. I don't know and with Canon's marketing, I can't guess other than a high initial stock price.

+1
likely priced above the d7100 just to try capitalize on perception it might be a better product, at least to the faithful.
OTOH... it COULD be priced ~ $1k to reduce brand-swapping amateurs, after all, even the $700 d5200 is a seriously well-featured competitor if the 70d's build quality is similar to the 60D.

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
I think it'll come in at $1500, a couple hundred more than the Nikon alternative. I suppose it could be cheaper if it comes with a 60D build rather than the 50D build I'd hope for, not that I'd buy one anyway

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
Hmm, interesting question. At $1299, it is a pretty attractive price. I got mine at $1350 in Dec. 2011...I have been quite happy with it so far, and have never regretted the price.
I voted that the 70D will probably land around $1500. I think it fits with Canon's price trend lately, and given the fact that it is a new sensor (whether that sensor uses smaller transistors or not), with a higher resolution, and has 7fps...I think it will fill the role the 7D once had. That seems to warrant a price increase. If it does land at that price, then I think a $1300 7D will be a pretty hot item until they are gone.

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
If they're as delusional as with the 6D MSRP (compared to the D600 specs), they'd price it the same as or even slightly higher than the D7100 MSRP (~$1300). If they want to be more competitive given its specs vs. D7100, it should be priced at or slightly lower than the 60D introductory MSRP (~$1100).

Really?? If that's spec'd like a 7D MkII, there are going to be a lot of disappointed 7D users... None of them would upgrade for those specs... Okay, hardly any...

Looks like the majority is willing to pay $1200 to $1300

Re: POLL: What will be the 70d's price tag?
I voted for $1200 but if it is at that I will wait a few months for a) manufacturing bugs to be worked out (we all know there will be some, there always are) and b) the price to drop around the holiday season.
If it has AFMA Ill get both the 70D and 6D to cover all my needs, and SWMBO will use whatever I am not using. If no AFMA then I am not sure what I will do
