I could care less about the 5D MKIII but a little disappointed that the T3i successor did not make an appearance today. Anyone else?
 
I totally agree. The only thing i was hoping for was the t4i announcement, I also wished they announced that price drop for the mark II. I'm trying to determine what camera I want, and I'm aiming for specs and price drops. I was about to order a 60d, but with the new products coming out i figured I should wait and see if the t4i is worth it, or if the price drop of the mark II happens.

I've never owned a Nikon product, but lately I've been eying a few of there cams. The d7000 is one that interests me since its similar to the canon 7d, and can be found for less.

Howabout a refurb 7D?

I was hoping for an upgraded t3i that stays at a reasonable price. I really like the swivel screen on the t3i because I am mostly going to use it for video and some stills. Any predictions on when it will be announced?

Howabout a refurb 7D?

A referb 7d is not on my list. For $1200 i would rather have a new product that also performs better. The 60d is much cheaper and has more features and a swivel screen, which the 7d doesnt have. The only benefit to the 7d is more focus points, but at that point I'd rather spend a few hundred more ($500 ish) for a used mark II

A canon factory refurb is just like new and the 7d is a superior camera to the 60D, unless you desperately need that swivel screen. ::)

I don't think we'll see a t4i until a new 7D comes out.
If any thing does come out I might be afraid to even look because of the prices Canon is asking now.
$630 bucks for the new speed light! It looks wonderful but darn spending an extra hundred here another couple there adds up quickly.

Wont argue about the 5DII - but to say that the only benefit to the 7D is more focus points is a rather simplistic view of the spec sheet.

I am sure the 7D advocates will give you a long list of reasons why the 7D is substantially better than a 650 will be. Personally I find the extra focus points a very large bonus and well worth spending the extra money on.

As a general purpose camera the 7D is better than the 5DII from my experience

Same.... I'm sad.. :(

But didn't CR said that it will be also (probably) released today?

Or what is the next possible release date?..

I'm still going to wait for the 650D, because I am in no rush to buy my first DSLR (although it would be nice to have it for summer), but i was already waiting for it at CP+...

Very disappointed! Yes, there was a CR2 about t4i being released on either February 28 or today, but nothing. :(

I would like to upgrade from my 1100D (my first DSLR), but unless I go fullframe, the 550D-600D (basically the same camera except for the swiveling screen), 60D, 7D all have the same sensor, which gives IQ almost identical to the 1100D. So unless a new crop sensor shows up, I'm sticking with my bare bone DSLR. >:(

me too
I was hoping for a 5D3, but the steep price is leaving me out of that market
a new rebel without aliasing/moire in video and improved low ISO would be my new target, but I doubt we'll see that before the 7D2 is out (i.e. if there's a new rebel out before the 7D2, I don't think it's going to be good enough for me to upgrade)

Very disappointed indeed. Still waiting to upgrade my 300D. With the release of the 650D, prices of the 600D (and perhaps also the 7d) are likely to drop...
With the rumors that the new Rebel will come a price about 1k, is very unlikely the prices of 600d to drop...
