7DII full frame?

[cerealito]

There is a rumor on cw about the 7DII being full frame. They base this on previews of upcoming books. What is the probability that this is confirmed???

Already a thread on this.

And no... I doubt it will be full frame. If it is... it won't be called the 7D Mark II

7DII will definitely be full frame. But, that's not the big surprise. Canon will introduce not one, but two DSLRs this month with the second being the new 1DXII medium format body. But, the new line of medium format MEOS lenses won't be available until next fall.

A new full-frame offering would not continue under the 7D line.

Build quality like a 1DX...
AF system like a 1DX....
speed like a 1DX.....
FF like a 1DX.....

sounds like a 1DX....

Rumours are worth the toilet paper that they are printed on.....

Maybe 7D was supposed to be full frame initially. Canon's flagship APS-C bodies were x0D bodies, notably 40D, 50D, and now 70D. Was anyone else surprised that Canon used the xD naming for the 7D in 2009?

well last rumor heard from a good informed source close to canon told me.... canon will introduce exchangeable sensors.

there will be no phase detection AF anymore because it´s obsolete.
DPAF II is now faster and way better.

so maybe the 7D MK2 Standard comes with APS-C and the Edition model comes with a FF sensor.


btw: Doug confirmed it was a placeholder text.

Yes, its a stupid rumor...
But... there is also a rumor stating that they were never going to call it 7DII... some other new name.
In essence if that was the case, then a FF is a possibility... but then again it wouldn't be replacement for the 7D, either.

Yeah, DPAF has definite speed advantages over standard phase detect AF for DSLR's, and that big mirror and shutter blocking out the light to the sensor where DPAF is situated at the time of acquiring focus doesn't matter at all :

Are these sensors you talk about to be available in a user replaceable canister?
