• UPDATE



    The forum will be moving to a new domain in the near future (canonrumorsforum.com). I have turned off "read-only", but I will only leave the two forum nodes you see active for the time being.

    I don't know at this time how quickly the change will happen, but that will move at a good pace I am sure.

Hy folks,

about 6 hours ago i´ve got a newsletter in my android app news+weather where i´ve a Canon only Theme, there was a link to a site where they told that maybe the follower of the 7D will/is a full frame, for the proamateurs; If this will resolve as true I´m very dissapointed;

In this link they said that it maybe not so conditioned like 5d;

Maybe in Weather sealing or in Video Segment or Autofocus;

As I said it was a link from a German Site; but unfortunatelly the link went away after acuatlising news+weather app as soon as I Found i will post it here
 
I wouldn't take too much stock in what ever article you read, considering that most think that 7D2 will be APS-C still and that there will be some sort of entry level FF coming out later in the year as well. It would be my guess that the camera they were talking about isn't the 7D2.

Looking at the reliability of internet weather forecasts, that should tell you something :-p ...

... but what you read is the speculated scenario "70d moves up again and entry-full frame 6d replaces 7d". But Canon may very well find a customer base for both an aps-c and ff body @1500$-2000$.

Canon already released a full-frame 7D. It's called the 5D Mark III.

No, it's called 1dx if you want to leave the price tag out of the equation since it's got 18mp and fast fps like the 7d. Or, if you really see the 5d3 as the 7d successor, Canon is even beyond their "double the price" policy this time.

Wait for the 7D2 MSRP, if Canon Inc. are reading this forum it will be at least $2,500, and that is twice what I paid for my new 7D last September

Thanks, I got a good laugh.

Using the 7D name on something that's not APS-C at this point would be a PR disaster; if you suggested it to Canon you'd get laughed out of the boardroom. By which I mean fired.

If they do introduce something *like* the 7D that's full frame, it would have to be named something else.

Like 5D Mark III.

the 7DMk2 will be no more than APS-H, more likely APS-C. You want a FF 7D you will buy a 5D3

I suppose one could say the 5DIII would be what a 7DII ff would be - apart from the 6fps. If it had been 8fps that would have been a clear indicator that the 7D was the end of that line.

I think the 7DII will be a 10fps crop (1.6 or 1.3). It may not be called the 7DII if it is a 1.3 (but what is in the name)

I can imagine APS-H sensor in 7D2 which would accept EF-S lenses and had various crop modes like 1.3 (native APS-H), 1.6 (APS-C), 2.0 (for super telephoto) + 5D3 AF. At a reasonable price point ($2000-2500?) that would be an awesome camera.
But not FF :)

fingers crossed
prayingt to the canon designers...
please please please please

It is such an obvious upgrade (and reuse of tried and test parts) that you have to wonder why it hasn't happened before

The reason - greedy marketing. They just want to sell a tiny bit better camera each year ;D
