7D now marked as DISCONTINUED at Amazon

[Old Sarge]

I wonder if this means they're still on track for a September release. Although sooner would be cool, I don't think it being out of stock at Amazon means that it will be released any sooner. It might be construed as further evidence that the September release rumours are accurate though.

Actually, Amazon still has some in stock in different configurations even though they are marked "Discontinued."

I was thinking about this and as I recall, before the 7D was released Best Buy had a SKU assigned that got leaked to some of the photo websites. Although it was primarily a "placeholder", I think it had some accurate information about features. I could be wrong, at my age it is easy to forget things.

7D replacement will likely be announced at Photokina in September. Availability is another matter.

True, but I do think in this case availability and announcement will not be far apart. Given how long prototypes have been rumoured to have been out and the long delays with the announcement, it's possible that Canon was waiting to announce it until they had a decent quantity produced. At least, I hope that's the case!

Does this mean a Mark II might be imminent? Why did nobody tell us?

Sorry, it slipped my mind.

Actually this means that Amazon is phasing out Cannons for Nikes due to the better dynamic rage and pixels revealed with the 810D.

Interesting to see!

This presumably means, that Canon thinks, they can deliver the successor (7D M2 or what ever it will be called) almost right after the announcement.
So this is definitely something they've learned from the disreputable announcements and delays from the 200-400 and 1DX.

Yes. But 5DIII was in the shops a few weeks after it was announced - so you never know.

I'm most interested in any (long) lens release that might coincide with the 7DMk II.

Funny I read 'Cannons for Nukes', I bet that was your intention. By the way I would prefer a cannon because there is far less collateral damage.

Even better I think all cannons and nukes should be replaced by Canons and Nikons. It would still hold true that here would be vastly more Canons.

I assumed Cannons was a typo and Nikes was as intended. After all, Nike shoes help you jump around and run farther...more dynamic range.

I wonder what impact this will have on the shooting range at work? Will they replace the targets with lens calibration targets? Will they ban iPhones from the 200 meter range?

And I thought heptagon meant Amazon was starting to sell cold war relics in place of American Civil War relics.

Those Nikes you posted have quite some range. And they're big and white, too. Nice!

It's a sure sign that the 7D will soon be replaced with a mirrorless APS-H 1D-style camera called the 3Dx.

I don't see that sign of changing to APS-H. My guess, it will be an APS-C again.

Adorama shows 7D as no longer available now too:

Which battery ?

I don't know where you guys suddenly see that it would be a APS-H. On which rumor do you all base to conclude it might be a APS-H ?

What I can conclude right now is that stock level of 7D is decreasing, even so much that several shops are running out of stock world wide. That and the discounts give on this product proves that end of life rumors might be true. So we could expect soon a new product on the market from canon to fill this gap of a higher end, performing APS-C sensor.

I don't get where you think it will be APS-C. It's obvious that Canon will put a medium format sensor in the 7DII, to compete with the Phase One IQ280.

We don't think it will be APS-H. It is so unlikely that we joke about it. That's why the comments have been made about it being a MIRRORLESS APS-H camera with the experimental 120Mpixel sensor and 8K VIDEO and even MEDIUM FORMAT.

The posts are pure sarcasm.... hence the question about the dead battery in your sarcasm detector... a comment which is also sarcasm.

To be serious for a minute, NOBODY outside of those sworn to secrecy through non-disclosure agreements knows what's coming in the 7D2, or for that matter, if there will even be a 7D2. EVERYTHING is speculation.

I heard Canon is going to one-up the mirrorless crowd by delivering the 7D2mv as the first mirrorless *and* sensorless camera. By eliminating the sensor they were able to make the most compact camera of all time that can still mount EF lenses. The new technology is called MemoryVision.

Bingo. Nikon has made spotting scopes for years, and Canon will use the 7DII as an entrée into the spotting scope market.

The key difference is, Canon's offering will use revolutionary technology to allow you to save the pictures through MemoryVision. Each 7D2mv camera comes with a sketch pad, professional colored pencil set, and a lifetime subscription to a collaborative interactive training website developed in tandem by Luminosity.com and Canon... because the human brain has INFINITE MEGAPIXELS!
