B & H is already selling 7D Mark II Accessories
- Thread starter Canon1
- Start date
Plausible, but I don't see how it tells us anything about the camera besides loosely suggesting its existance.

I'm sure you'll find the same thing on other retailer's sites and I can only imagine what searching for iPhone 6 will bring back on Amazon. In most cases it's "click-baiting". Also, the person entering the information on B&H's website (i.e. pasting what the vendor sends them) probably doesn't know a 7D from a 1V.

if 95MB/s is more than enough for 7FPS 60+ photos, then 280MB/s is more than enough for 12fps.

and I actually hope 7D successor will have 1xCF 1xSD. i just love the no need for external adapters. i just flick the SD into my MBPr and be done with it.

They could just be hedging that the 7D2 will still fit with their gear. There is probably a good financial opportunity to get picked over a similar product that just says 7D in the accessory buying frenzy that surrounds pre-ordering a new body.
Now, they may have to change their product title at B&H the second the 7D2 is released (if something will no longer fit), but you could understand why they might gamble in this manner.

It's not a confirmation -- it's a guess. These guys (I presume) are like a cell phone case manufacturer: they don't work with Canon, they just swarm in right after launch and race something out. In this case, I think they're guessing the name and they're hoping it's not a wildly different form factor or tripod mount hole location and praying the product they've made will work with the 7D2.
But in reality, it's not even a reveal. The only way the 7D2 isn't the name is if:
- The sensor turns out to not be APS-C, which the 7D brand is the flagship of.
- Canon is planning on releasing more than one flagship-level 7D camera, so a bifurcation of the brand name, a la Sony's A7 / A7R / A7S might make sense.
- The Mark I, Mark II style naming doesn't resonate with customers and Canon wants unique names for each of its bodies.
- The 7D was not successful, and therefore, not a great name to build off of with a new model.
As all of the above are either wildly improbable (the first two) or patently false (the last two), I'd say with 95% probability that the new camera will be called the 7D2.
There is a small small small chance that Canon wants to shake up the names of its brands a la Sony switching from NEX to Alpha. But that's a move for companies who aren't leading the market. I just don't see Canon throwing a monkey-wrench like that into our heads unless they planned on dropping/merging entire product lines.

Why anyone would hope for a SD card is beyond me, they are poor performers unless you do a slow low level format before using them. I don't like the pins on a CF card, but its performance is so much better.

Just for fun, I zoomed in on the grayed out silhouette of a camera on that page and monkeyed with the levels. See attached. Unless you are buying the [1DX-build + no Wifi/GPS] rumor with the 7D2, which might imply no pop-up flash, that looks like a 5D2 body to me.
Also, I went to Varavon's website. This product is nowhere on it. Leaking an accessory too soon at B&H is one thing, but surely whatever B&H posts would be public on the manufacturer's website, wouldn't it? I would think the order of tightness of leaks to be:
So I'm a little shocked this is on B&H but not at Varavon's website. Did someone at B&H jump the gun on this?

- Tightest: Canon
- 2nd Tightest: People who want to get Canon gear first and not piss them off (B&H, Adorama, Amazon, etc.)
- 3rd Tightest: Accessory makers
- Worst: People like us. ;D

Amazing what a phone call can do.
I actually called B&H. My operator immediately said it was a typo and he would notify the website folks to get it fixed. He said that it was for the 5D line of cameras. Note that both the Varavon and B&H part numbers on that page have ’5D’ at the end.
Mystery solved, I think.

If it was going to go the whole 1D direction (urgh, sorry) it would have a proper card door, proper eye cup and the diopter on that side would be replaced with the blackout lever. How much of this really makes it into a 7D II is anyones guess but I would be pretty confident they'd put a proper door on it if they were serious about it.
