7D replacement will not be called 7D Mark II because it will be APS-H

When we will know the final specification for Canon 7D Mark II

When Canon makes an official announcement. Until then it is rumours and speculation.
19Mpixels, 8.5 fps, 23 AF points, 0.5 stop improvement ;D ;D ;D
I prefer my speculation on the wild side.... I predict that the 7D2 will be mirrorless. I have a perfect prediction record..... wrong every time :)

I could see APS-H if they could make it take EF-S lenses. Maybe with a Nikon style crop mode, or just there is vignetting, deal with it. I know, I know, previous APS-H cameras could not take EFS lenses. Many of the zoom EF-S lenses would cover the whole APS-H anyway at least when zoomed in.

This would be an awesome bridge camera between FF and 1.6 crop.

Threads like these makes me think the H in APS-H stands for 'Holding out for something that won't materialize'

Enjoy your 1.3 crop bodies, I just don't think it's realistic they're coming back. Meanwhile I hear there's a new Edsel, Pinto and Pacer coming this fall

+1

But...what's wrong with the old Pinto? Aside from those pesky exploding gas tanks, I mean...

My Dad had one and the irony of it was that he had a Corvair as well.

It will be a 1D Mark V in a 7D size body, hence the change to 1Dx because it is full frame.

no

This is so crusty and tired. It will be made of Unobtanium, have a crop mode, you will be able to control your Saeco machine via wifi, it will take 10 pounds off of women and smooth all wrinkles off your Shar Pei.

Look it will most likely have fast fps, a dual digic something, dual cards and be priced above the 6D and below the 5D3.

Beyond that we'll know when we'll know. Why on earth are people speculating it will and should have features above the 1D line is preposterous. The only thing I see it having better than the 5D3 is interchangeable focusing screen capability and AF. And if it has a new AF it will not be far more advanced than the 5D3 but only incrementally better. Perhaps only in a way that benefits Servo modes.
