EOS 7D II Specs Listed on KDrama Stars

I do not believe this. Seems completely underspecced. So: HOAX-ALERT!

I'm pretty skeptical. If this article is correct, the newly designed, gripped version of the 7DII would weigh only two ounces more than the un-gripped 7DI.

It sounded good right up until I read that it would have an integrated grip like the 1D X - that's where I called BS.

I have thought that it might be possible Canon would introduce a 7DX with integrated grip and a 7DII without. But, I doubt it.

I think that's become a big differentiator for Canon in terms of a pro-looking body, though there are plenty of 1D-series shooters clamoring for a gripless 1D_. It adds a good deal of cost and doesn't make sense to me.

The feature I'm mighty curious about is the f/8 autofocus capability. If they add that, it will be very interesting.

I really hope I'm proved right and the 7DII doesnt have a pop up flash. I just hate that nasty little bit of cheap plastic on a quality camera.

I hope it does. I miss it on my 5D and bought a little Sunpak to replace it, but that thing is both fragile and a hassle to use.

And, no, a 580EX is not a suitable replacement as taking that often means leaving a lens (usually the 35L) at home.

Could this be it?

Welcome to the forum. With a name like Ren Kockwell you must be a serious photographer!

I guess this confirms the rumor that the 7D2 will be a mini-1DX.....

F/8 focus would be a major winner on this camera.

I wouldn't care to speculate what sort of photography....

Not holding my breath on a new game changing DSLR a this point. I may be very wrong but I think the 7D is dead.
The 70D and 6D fill up that space. So an 80D or 6DMKII maybe.

I really hope you are wrong!!
It's mostly those who want to show their camera off and appear to be such cool 'real pros' who knock stuff like that.

I wish you'd been there when the pop up flash got snapped off my D200, but then you'd probably have been in nappies at that time judging by the above quote.

The fact that it snapped off meant that you had a need for flash at the time no? I bet you were glad you had it until you snapped it off no? If it didn't have the pop-up you'd have gotten worse shots before it snapped off or wrenched off an external flash instead no?


I owned an EOS650 at one point in time....

I wish you'd been there when my 580EX got snapped off at the base!

Very interesting that this reputable source says, "Canon 7D Mark II is built like a Baby EOS-1D X as it has an integrated grip design."

It also sports a picture on the purported body.

Which shows ... no such evidence of an integrated grip!!!
