<p>We (<a href="http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/cameras/Canon_7dmk2.html" target="_blank">and others</a>) keep hearing that the EOS 7D Mark II is the next camera body to be announced and we should expect it in Q2 of 2014, which would be April, May or June.</p>
<p>As of yet, there has been no solid specs for the camera outside of it setting a new standard in APS-C performance along with cutting edge video features.</p>
<p>We’re waiting for the usual sources to speak up, which would happen soon if the Q2 announcement rumors are true.</p>

I have a feeling it won't be. I think it could be the SL2 :-[

 

[Sporgon]

Seeing as the D4s is coming with a 'new' 16 mp sensor, I'm going to be brave and guess the 7DII will also be 16 mp, aps class leading low light performance, very fast and no pop up flash. See you in the second quarter.

Here we go again

Here we go again

So you're saying this is the 7D Mark II rumor Mark II? ;D

I'm cautiously optimistic--maybe they're targeting getting it out in time for the World Cup?

 

[Lee Jay]

So, this is a rumor that there will soon be a rumor?

So you're saying there's a chance... ???

 

[-Jarred-]

It'll be 70D bits in the current 7D body. 9fps. Bang, MkII and profits

So, this is a rumor that there will soon be a rumor?

It is a discussion as to the accuracy of a rumour that there may soon be a rumour of a possible announcement that there may be a release of specifications in advance of a product release.

Translation: nobody knows

Hurry up already, Canon!! I may have to break down and just get the 1DX if you don't
Joking aside, my 7d is feeling older and older the more I shoot with the 5d3. I like the combo (7d,5d3), but... that 1DX rental has me craving something new.

What it says is there is a definite probability of a possible maybe.

I'm very glad that I bought a 5D3 a year ago rather than waiting for the immanent (at that time) 7D2.

This is so frustrating. How long has it been that we keep hearing that "next month", "next quarter", "end-of-year", "the beggining of the year" there may be an annoucement for the new 7D. . The last time we thought we would hear somthing in March... now its 2nd quarter.

Please God hear our prayers. Only 16 megapixel camera with ISO 3200 without noise bothering, costing less than $ 2000.

I thought that the DigitalRev Blog had a good post about the 7D replacement.

Just when I thought they couldn't possibly be any dumber, they go and do something like this... and totally redeem themselves!

What I'm hearing is that when they finally do produce a 7D2...

Anyone who buys one will also get a free toaster!!

Now, that's marketing.

quite possibly one of the greatest films, ever! i was thinking the same exact thing ;D

 

[ME]

There is a 100% chance that the 7dII will or will not possibly be released in the 2nd,3rd, or 4th quarter, depending of course on weather conditions and the alignment of the planets. If not, maybe or maybe not, 2015 will possibly see the release of the 7dIII, skipping over the 7dII. Depending on how many rumors there are, of course. CR 0.75. Maybe.

I got tired of waiting for the 7dii and bought a 70d for the interim figuring I would use it in the meantime and then sell it for the 7dii. I am not sure I want to get rid of it now unless the 7dii offers something much better and I don't mean a couple megapixels more or a couple fps faster.
