Hehe, despite all the secrecy, we still got leaks before the announcement.
The mandatory image leak appeared too 8).

I guess announcement day will be Monday ??
Friday seems less likely - unless Canon decides to join Nikon with their D750 announcement.

What's with the bulge in front of the hot shoe, btw ??

CR seems to lag behind the other rumors sites these days when bringing this type of news.

Agreed but all the links I posted are citing one single Japanese site. Meaning if that Japanese site is incorrect, they're all incorrect.

I like CR's tendency to rank credibility of their stories and the fact that they haven't posted this yet makes me wonder if it is a false alarm.

We'll see

I posted these specs weeks ago......

bring on the "OH NOES, 70D SENSOR!" flamers.

bring on the "OH NOES, 70D SENSOR!" flamers.

they are all already so bored by canon they don´t care anymore.

lets hope for a "exciting" powershot. :

GPS antenna?

 

[Ebrahim Saadawi]

the hot shoe looks puzzling

Price?

I've been told $1799 give or take $100 between the USA and Canada. I haven't confirmed that though.

Specs-wise, max ISO 16000 appears to be the most intriguing to me. What does it mean? Should we expect a nominal base ISO value different than the canonical ISO 100? Maybe around ISO 64? Should this be confirmed, maybe the sensor is actually somewhat different from the 70D's one. What do you guys think?

that would be absolutely crazy for a 10fps 65AF metal DSLR!

 

[degies]

I have been holding back for a 7Dii as backup to my 5D3 but with these specs it hardly seems worth the wait
Looks like Canon Shares the boat with Apple - Not really pushing innovation anymore ? I love my gear, but the other candy stores looks to have much better lollies

i have no big hope for the sensor anymore.

better DPAF, yes.
better image quality, no.

but maybe they have fixed the shadow noise problems (banding).
that would be nice at least.

 

[Ebrahim Saadawi]

Is the 70D that much behind the competition in terms if image quality? Is it really hideous compared to say a D7100, K3, Nex A6000 with much lower dynamic range, ISO performance and resolution?

I don't think so. In all the reviews they seem pretty neck to neck, with canon taking a small lead in noise and the Nikon taking a small lead in resolution.

This gives comparable image quality to all the industry, in a 10fps, 65 AF points, and all metal body. For the first time, we have a 10fps professional sports body for 1800$! That's definitely something. Nikon users have been dreaming for this camera since they had the D300.

 

[DiSnapper]

cant say am excited.

Have to wait for reviews (user reviews) specially regarding AF and noise performance.

 

[TrabimanUK]

Not too fussed about only 20.2 MP, provided that it is a bloody mind blowing 20.2 MP. The 1DX is "only" 18.1MP (ok, full frame is different), but hopefully Canon have squeezed some greatness out of the 70D sensor for the 7DII.

Intriguing about the ISO 16000. Odd, but intriguing - done only because it differentiates it a bit more from the 70D maybe?

Happy that Canon haven't gone for "1 million ISO", as really who needs to shoot at such high levels or in pitch black, and the image quality isn't great to say the least at those levels.

On the face of it, the MKii is not as ground breaking as the original 7D, but lets see how it performs in the real world.

Theory is one thing, actual operation is another.....

 

[Vgramatikov]

There is no banding and much cleaner shadows in 70d. Still far from the Sony sensors ...

Max iso 16000 means more sensitive sensor at least.
This mean improving in sensor and processor capabilities in order to produce better overall sensitivity witch is connected with more dynamic range at least because of the cleaner shadows at low iso settings.

So all this may will be transferred in little better noiso/signal performance. I hope for at least 2/3 better than my 70d at 800-1600 and i hope for better DR and shadow noise at base iso.

Here we may have some hidden spec around the sensor. If not ... it will be only minor improvement in IQ department. Again 10% better IQ nothing ground breaking like base iso performance in Sony sensors.

But for me interesting thing is EOS iTR Autofocus )) this is as 1dx. And with this new AF system it will be best AF module ever in crop sensor camera.

"Intervalometer"

now, I'm 99% certain i am not buying another cop body...but...that one makes me smile. canon should have had an Intervalometer before this so that just makes me smile that it's in this, because it will be in other bodies soon. this does sound like a nice body though.
