Are These The EOS 7D Mark II Specifications?
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
still a rumor, people. don't take it as if Canon itself listed these specs.
however, i would never pay more than $2000 for this.

Specs looks fine except the sensor...which should be the crown jewel. I agree if it comes out with the same senor effectively as the 70D that is going to be a real buzzkill. That said, I'm doing my best to reserve my reactions until I see an actual rig or at least an official Canon release on specs. Too many red-herrings and unknown variables right now.

Sounds like it could be good... I'm in the "hedged optimism" camp. I'll probably buy it, but probably not till the post-Christmas refurb sales. 10FPS and 65pt AF are enough to keep my interest, and the 70D sensor is good enough for me at this point, so I'm not immediately turned off. Hoping for more... guess that remains to be seen!
(And if we can get more details about that sensor, that would be great!)

Really not that impressed. I am tired of these smaller resolutions. I would like to see something that's truly a game changer. Basically this is a field ready 70d that more toned on the focus and fps side. Ugh. If these are true this probably won't be in my future. For what I do a 70d is the same thing.

sound like a good one...
Dual DIGIC 6 Processors
65 AF points “All Cross-type”. Dual cross on the center point.
10fps
ISO 100-16000, ISO Boost mode 25600 and 51200
Built-in flash with radio trigger function.
Anti-flicker mode, eliminates flickers under flickering lights (e.g. fluorescent lamps). <-- this one sounds very interesting, and please clarify whether or not this effect will works in RAW also, or just JPEG...

Hmm is a fine detail sensor just the same as the 70D bit without AA filter???
Hmm no 4k....
I guess the talk about how the main IQ improvements and 4k may be held for the 5D4, maybe those were the earlier rumors that were the true ones?
It certainly sounds good and yet if it doesn't do more than just give a 70D sensor without AA (and maybe it does do more) and no 4k it seems like it's something they could've produced as is some time ago already.

Sounds OK, but not enough to tempt me to upgrade early. Hopefully by the time I want to replace my 7D in early 2016 there will be some killer sales prices and packages available.

it sorta almost leads one to believe that Japanese Canon Fangirls post here where they were claiming that Canon feels they have Canon users trapped enough that it won't matter if the bodies they push out can't keep up as per sensors and even other features at times (still not a hint that they are actually moving any DSLR sensors to new fabs and the panny gets 4k and yet the super new 7D2 which was promised to have revolutionary video and this and that is still 1080p)
and yeah the AA filter-less stuff I am not a big fan of, maybe when we get to 180MP FF or 60MP APS-C or something.

my first thoughts exactly.
where are the video features that are hyped for years?
does the 20.2 MP 70D sensor replaces the 18MP sensor now for the next 5 years?
it´s seems a bit unfair to judge it before we have seen it but hey this is a rumor site.. so we talk about the rumors. that´s all the fun right?

Yeah, we really need sensors to significantly oversample the lens before we can legitimately start dropping AA filters. Otherwise we just end up WITH aliasing, and that's never good.
I was not really interested in the 7D II being a big video DSLR anyway...I don't really know that anyone truly was, you just don't get that cinematic look with a smaller sensor...not without having very wide apertures anyway (like a lot of expensive cinema lenses do).
The thing that I think Canon really needed to nail, and which increasingly appears as they will not, is producing a truly new sensor with a fundamentally new design on a smaller fabrication process size. It just isn't happening. If this thing is still a 500nm transistor part...I mean...WOW. That technology is about fifteen years old!! What is Canon doing? It's one thing to be conservative, but now it's just getting ludicrous...
