Perhaps it will have a new mode where it inserts kittens into any picture sent over the wifi link..... because if there is anything that the web needs more of, it's kittens

seriously though, safe bets (if it is a 70D) include the touch screen from the T4i, wireless and gps, at least a digic 5, probably 18Mpixel, ISO 25,600, around 6fps, 60Hz 1080 video, retain the shoulder display, and please give it back AFMA. Lots of incremental changes would make a nice camera....

Canon seems to have been experimenting with focus a lot lately so a different configuration of points and types is likely.

If we get real lucky it might be the unveiling of new sensor technology and possibly a digic 6, but I wouldn't bet on it.

They will both be incremental updates because that is what Canon does.

What Canon does is make money. The brand on top of the heap has no need to take risks. Incremental updates sell well. Not saying I'm happy about it, but it's a sound business practice (unless it fails, then heads roll, and things change...).

Anyone thinking that Canon will do anything revolutionary with the 7DII has got their vendors mixed up. Canon is not Sony.

Perhaps. Lots of mix ups here lately, it seems. Canon being mistaken for Sony. Lenses being mistaken for cameras.

LOL I bet the 70D will be this

same ol crap 18 MP APS-C sensor
Plastic body with flippy screen and pop up flash
11 pt AF from 6D
wifi
GPS
single SD card
VF? maybe the same 97% as the 6D

Slow week at CR? Yet another CR1's to pass the time?
What happened to the Jan 8th 35L II and 14-24L UWA from last week?

You have been playing the same tune over and over. Perhaps you think that you can force Rumors to be true, or that only rumors that are guaranteed to be true are posted.
If you can't handle rumors, you need to stop reading them and then complaining that they are ... Well, just Rumors.

Instead of instructing me that this is a rumor site, which I fully understand, you could perhaps learn to read what the tongue-in-cheek or tongue sticking out icon means...I hope I am allowed to comment if a Rumor goes Dud and the original short comment was not a severe criticism in any case.

Unless CRs policy is to check with you first. Would your busy schedule with 90000 posts here allow for that time?

And the last thing revolutionary with digital cameras was going from film to a digital sensor...... after that, it's all been more or less evolutionary changes...... pixel counts slowly climb, dynamic range slowly gets better, iso and noise slowly get better, focus slowly gets better, processors get faster and more complex algorithms emerge, but none of this is revolutionary.

Yet we look back ten years and all these changes add up..... don't knock the incremental changes because without them we wouldn't have the cameras we have now.

Its fine to point out your concerns, its posting the same thing over and over like a broken record is the issue.

I don't understand how those smiley face things are still here. I thought they were banished long ago.

And you, 2021, have been around quite long enough to know that this is a serious forum for discussion of serious subjects. I'm sure you know, young man, that humor might compromise your credibility. And such things will end up on your permanent record!

So, watch it!!!

It wasn't many times and certainly not the same context ...if it is something offensive, I would actually understand...when do you find time to troll what someone says to see if they may have repeated themselves? Find a hobby other than typing here to fill the time.

Follow your own advice...if you dont like it...don't read it

Didn't you get the memo. Humor is out, seriousness is in.

Besides, your obviously photoshopped image isn't fooling anyone...

The POS 60D was an incremental step-back A lackluster camera, that looked even more lackluster with the imediate introducrion of the Nikon D7000.

I hope the 70D isn't another POS ... but I doubt it

As the 60D was an incremental step back, perhaps the 70D will be an incremental update over the 50D which could well make it an upgrade, but then again perhaps Canon saw the 50D to 60D as an incremental update in which case this new 70D camera - which may be out in 2 days - could well be an err.... I am going back to bed! ;-)

Canon is not Sony.

Thank God Canon is not Sony!
Sony drops their products without any consideration or support for their customers who bought them ... remember Plasma TV? alpha 900?
I spent good money on a Plasma TV back in late 2005 and in less then 18 months they dumped the entire product line and came up with a tag line "we stand for LCD" ... the worst part was that they refused to provide support for my Sony Plasma TV. With that kind of attitude towards customers, it is little wonder they posted 7th straight quarterly loss (as of Nov 2012) and 4 consecutive annual losses.
