7D now marked as DISCONTINUED at Amazon

[Loswr]

By eliminating the sensor they were able to make the most compact camera of all time that can still mount EF lenses.

Lens2Scope has beaten them to it, albeit without colored pencils and a sketch pad.

Laughed quite literally out loud....and almost peed! Perils of being 50... ;D

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

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!

I don't know if you've been following the news recently but anti-aircraft missiles don't go down very well right now, especially in the Netherlands

My apologies for any poor taste or offense. None was intended as I also mourn the loss of the passengers of this plane.

Thank you. I understand that it was an accidentally poor choice of words, but due to the grave nature of the incident I thought it was best to point that out.

I heard Canon is going to one-up the mirror less crowd by delivering the 7D2 as the first mirrorless *and* sensorless camera.

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!

... and infinite DR too

It's getting painful reading everyones post on the continuous saga of the 7D Mark ll.'s release date. Relief Date for me.
I'm still enjoying my 7D. Did everyone else's suddenly die? Or explode? I'm going out and take some pics later today.
My wife will be using her 70D and me with my discontinued 7D. As long as i'm not discontinued, I'll be fine and so will
the pics from my 7D if I follow the rules of good photo shooting that I have learned since I bought my 40D in March 2008.

'Discontinued' does not mean 'obsolete' so enjoy your 7D

If only it would be a 'relief date'. But if history is a guide, it will be many threads complaining about this feature or the lack of that feature. Then someone will test the DR.......

This is the reason I hang around here. I had never seen this before. I am tempted to buy one but I usually have my longest lens on the camera at the same time I would want to use this item. Still a cool idea. Wonder how well it works.

Since I have telescopes and telescope parts lying around, this is what I did with nothing more than a rear lens cap and my existing parts.

just sold my 7D.

Another great idea. I may have some parts like that in the garage. But I am not great at DIY.

Bah. Amazon just wants a better rate with Canon like Hachette and Warner Brothers ;D

Seriously though, Amazon's been behind other retailers lately (probably for the same reason I kid about above) in offering the latest products. They'd incorrectly billed the iPod touch as 'current version', got to check the model #.

 

[TrabimanUK]

Still on Amazon.co.uk. Still at £899. No sign of price cuts over here, and guessing a definite $ for £ pricetag for the 7DII

I had a couple of 7D bodies, got rid of both of them. The AF was always just a little off, both bodies acted the same. I've talked to many other photographers who had the same problem, just off enough that the subject was just a little soft. I had tried the micro-adjust, but was all over the map, sometimes a little front focused, sometimes a little back. It was ok with the slower lenses, or at least close enough to be reasonable, but never good with a fast lens.

Finally sold the last one a couple months ago, and got a 70D. The 70D misses on occasion too, but when it misses it's more obvious. However, it hits the focus better much more often than either of my 7Ds ever did. Neither is as good as my 5D3 or 6D, though. I'd like to see what they do with the AF on the 7DII, if they can get it as good as the 5D3. The last croppped sensor camera I've had with decent AF was the 40D.

THANK YOU LORD

For video guys, id scrape up two 0f them maybe...and these bodies will be floating around for many years, since they are so well made.

Can't say I experienced that with my 7D, I sold it because I didn't like the image quality (too much noise).

It's nice you mention the 40D - it was my first DSLR and that 40D was a really great camera for sure.
