According to the rumors, the camera in question looks like an R6 though. And I'm fairly confident that is properly classified as an FF-sized body - it's an FF body after all.Do you consider the 7D to be a FF-sized body?

Why are so many people upset about Canon releasing systems they'll apparently never use? How does it diminish your own photographic endeavors? I'll give you a hint: it doesn't.
I don't think they are related.Another nail in the coffin for a 5DIV replacement. That hope rested on Canon continuing churning out APS-C DSLR's.
i wonder what the spcs would beI don't think they are related.
The hope for a 5DV rests on whether or not Canon can convert 80-90% of 5D users to the R5. If they determine they aren't going to be able to do that, they will likely make a 5D or similar style DSLR in the future.
I don't pretend to know what the tipping point is, but I doubt if Canon is anxious to cede any market share to Nikon or possibly, to just simply lose those customers permanently. If Nikon releases new DSLRs, which they say they are doing, then I suspect Canon will follow suit, although I would not be surprised to see Canon put new DSLRs on hold until mid 2022 or so, to allow them to focus their resources on the R series and to better gauge market adoption of mirrorless.
There is no way it won't have IBIS. Image sensors are still the most expensive part of the camera, and the cost difference between APS-C and Full-frame is more significant than people realize. This camera will have a good margin for Canon, but it won't be an "entry-level" product. Maybe down the road we'll see a Rebel like RF mount camera.
Then EF-S lenses and similar lenses from Sigma, Tamron etc. wouldn't provide enough coverage. In the whole time Canon made EOS-1D bodies, they never made a lens specifically for that format.If you want a real revive of 7 series Canon... Make it APS-H!
Hopefully less expensive than the R6 but still with IBIS
But one of the benefits of using APS-C is that you can use shorter lenses to achieve the same magnification. Somehow I doubt that very many people buying long, heavy and fast lenses, which are also quite expensive, are going to be using them on an APS-C body. Yes, I know, a few will. But Canon isn’t making this for a few people like that. If you look at the lens lineups Canon, Nikon, and even Sony have for APS-C, it’s pitiful when compared to their full frame lineups. I’m talking about DSLR’s, because they’ve been out for two decades now.
Two classic combinations observed at Watkins Glen International: (1) 7D or 7D2 and 100-400, as you mentioned, and, less frequently, (2) 7D or 7D2 and with a 300 f/2.8 and TCs instead of a 1D or 1Dx with a 400 f/2.8 and TCs. I started using a Sigma 150-600 Sport lens with my 7D and it works well without having to remove the lens to add or remove TCs. This is especially important when shooting motocross at dusty tracks.The APS-C sensor can also be used to get MORE magnification from the same lens (more pixels on subject). So that you can use a 100-400 lens and get 640mm equivalent focal length without having to spend a ton of money on a 50 megapixel FF camera or a 600mm lens. This is the reason the 7D line was so popular. Because you got a rugged and fast pro body for less than $2000.
Yep. If I have a long lens (400mm+) and have to choose between 5DmkIV + 1.4x TC and 7Dmk2, the latter generally wins. And now with R5, I've set one of the custom modes to force crop mode - with long lenses when you know you'll end up cropping the image even more anyway, there's no point in using the entire sensor. If Canon comes up with R7 with APS-C sensor that's otherwise as good as the R5 but cheaper, let alone if it's also faster or has higher pixel density (like the 7D2 as compared to 5D4), it'd be the perfect 2nd body for me.The APS-C sensor can also be used to get MORE magnification from the same lens (more pixels on subject).

It was the (for me)low pixel count that put me off the R6 so I'm also hoping an APS-C model would have 30+MP. (for cropping flexibility).I think at this point it is unlikely to have anything less than the 32MP one which is one of the most advanced APS-C sensors on the planet right now. With Canon's newest DPAF it has great potential to finally be the birders' dream camera that many have been waiting for.
You beat me too it, I was going make the same comment.Since the point of smaller sensors is to have smaller and lighter cameras and lenses, I’m not sure what the point is to putting an APS-C sensor in a FF body.
I think many folks are looking forward to APS-C RF cameras, so they can use FF telephoto lenses for the extra reach. I know I am, plus having a camera with wider DOF, which I usually need for taking flower pics. I have no interest in "crop" lenses. If they come out with an APS-C RF camera, I will be getting a used EF 70-300mm to put on it. Hopefully, they will have both the more expensive model for 7D users, and some cheaper models, too.But one of the benefits of using APS-C is that you can use shorter lenses to achieve the same magnification.
