Canon EOS 7D Mark II Spec List [CR2]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors

If these specs are real, I find this an impressive upgrade. As I own the 7D (which I love) - the increase in ISO performance (close to the 5DmkIII) is a particularly attractive feature for me. 61 AF pts and 10 FPS are definitely great, but not essential (I'm quite happy with the 7D's current 19 AF pts and 8 FPS). 
WiFi and GPS are 'nice' but not necessary for my use. Even less important for me are the 'lots of video' features and the dual memory card slots (please keep it CF, I have some great CF cards I want to keep using - plus same battery please while we're at it!)
The 24.1 MP is interesting.. if it has sharp per pixel definition and also has low noise across the ISO range (particularly @ ISO100 & ISO200 for landscapes) I'll be particularly happy! I do like to crop in various photos, especially for some wildlife.
Cheers! Let's see if this becomes a CR3 and then reality....!! Hope so.... 8)

Looks great but I highly doubt it will come close to noise wise to a FF sensor especially with 6 more MP.
If thats what your hoping for then I think you will be disappointed. An APC camera will always have more noise than a full frame sensor.
If your wanting a super fast camera (Like most seem to) and cant afford a 1D series camera then this will fly off the shelves. Sounds like a terrific upgrade from the 7D, although like said my biggest problem with it was 100-400iso so if thats improved would be a very solid second body.
I knew there was a reason I kept my 17-55mm

Indeed, that's the thing... It's all still speculation of course but the key thing is the 'ISO performance close to the 5D mkIII'. Being that it's not a full frame sensor, how close is close?!

I agree with almost all of this- my paranoid side would be pretty happy with Dual CF slots, or at least CF+SD, because my paranoid side always likes to have a mirrored backup in case one card fails. ;-)

I agree with Paul, I have a 7D and 50D, I will be looking for noise reduction and ISO performance.
I do not care about built in flash, finally got a SpeedLite flash, and kicking myself for waiting so long. GPS would be cool, but I love the speed of the 7D, I love the body feel of the 7D as well. With that said, I was allowed to play with a 6D and it felt REALLY nice, and I love the controls of the 6D.
But physics, are well, pretty much set in stone.
Crop sensors will always have a smaller surface area for each pixel; but allow for less expensive lens.
I like saving the money on the lens, my 2 favorite lens are both EF-S, saving something like $2000 in glass.
If the ISO/noise performance is there, I may very well add a third body to my camera drawer. (after the prices and supply settle, of course)

I really like the 7D, though I do confess that since I've gotten the 5D3, the 7D has seen very little use.
A high-density sensor like a 24 mpx APS-C, with much-improved noise performance and DR, would be a great improvement IMHO. Give it f/8 AF and it would be a great birder's camera body.

Even Sony's 24mp APS-C sensor has too much noise. Do we really believe for a second that Canon is going to come out with a sensor that beats theirs? I'm not down on Canon...I LOVE my 5D Mk III, I just feel like people in this thread are getting their hopes up A LOT.

"The Last Camera Syndrome" article really applies here. These specs are all nice but, none will persuade me to buy the 7D mkii, over my 7D. All, except for one. If this new APS-C sensor really does have, at the least, 5Dmkii noise performance, then I will strive to purchase one. The problem is, I seriously doubt the sensor will achieve such performance, even with superb noise reduction software and resizing.
One can only hope. If not, my 7D will remain a prized possession.

These two rumors seem quite contradictory. Quote from 6D in-depth review by DPReview:
Construction is solid, if perhaps not offering quite the same bullet-proof feel as the EOS 5D Mark III or EOS 7D. In part this is because the 6D has a plastic top plate, which according to Canon is necessary to allow the Wi-Fi and GPS to work. The rest of the body uses a magnesium alloy shell, and Canon describes it as 'dust and drip-proof'.

I think the potential for this to be correct is very real. But it isn't just noise where the 7D sensor needs to improve, but include DR and color. I just upgraded from the 7D to the 5DIII and multiple aspects of IQ are standing out...not just noise. The images are just richer...and, this surprised me, easier to post-process.
Love the 7D, and honestly, I was waiting on a 7DII with much the same specs posted in the rumor. But it is going to take a lot of hands-on reviews before I am convinced the IQ is equal to FF.

The rest of the spec list looks pretty darn good, but I'll believe the line about ISO performance when I see RAW files. But then again, in marketing speak 'close to the 5D3' might mean simply that the native range is 100-12800 (which is 'close to' the 100-25600 native range of the 5DIII and a 1-stop improvement on the 7D spec). Many times, Canon's statements about ISO performance improvements refer to JPG images or ISO range, not noise levels at a given ISO setting.
