<p>In <a href="http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/07/eos-7d-replacement-telephoto-lens-in-september-cr3/" target="_blank">our previous mention of a released date for the EOS 7D replacement</a>, we speculated it would be some time during the week of September 8, 2014. However a couple of people have said the embargo will actually end at midnight on Friday, September 5, 2014 EST. Photokina begins about 10 days later in Cologne, Germany.</p>
<p>This sounds reasonable, as it allows the week of booth setup in Germany without trying to hide marketing material like signs and banners.</p>

Bring it on. And if there is a substantial improvement in sensor technology (by every one else's standards but Canon), let us know when that will percolate up the line, especially to the 5D and 1D series.

Finally!

 

[Don Haines]

About time! I am sure there will be a sudden burst of sales....

 

[jebrady03]

So... it seems pretty much everyone has accepted the rumors as fact that there will be a 7D replacement announced around Photokina, right? Are there any rumors to suggest otherwise?

 

[Chaitanya]

if this camera announcement is jus another rebel/kiss/xxxd then it would be a major disappointment for those waiting for a 7d replacememt which might never happen.

 

[scottkinfw]

I'm with you on that.

Would be awesome if 1DX II can do nice & clean @ 25000ISO.

Too late for me I needed one in my hand by the announcement date, so I've just bought a 5DIII. Hey ho. I hope the 7D2 is all that it's cracked up to be, as it'll be handy in a few years time when I've saved up enough for a another safari.

So Canon IS truly a pioneer by inventing the 'trickle up' technology path.

Post some FIFA WC images of 2014.. taken with a 7D2. I was infact waiting for some images during the WC.. and nothing came out. Sept 5 is still long way away... I don't know why Canon keeps the entire world waiting for 7D2... Is it on par with a 1DX or something ..

About time! I am sure there will be a sudden burst of sales....

We have one more reason to celebrate. ??? Those users who have thousands of posts in Canon Rumors have gained a 300mm F2.8L lens along with his nine-avatar. : It's an encouragement to those who have arrived at a level of 1Dx.

 

[Don Haines]

It will be announced in time for my birthday... hint... hint...

 

[LJ3Jim]

I'm hoping it happens. Also hoping for the long-long-long awaited 100-400 replacement!

 

[ewg963]

It's about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[NancyP]

Don, my thought exactly. I have considered putting a pre-order in as birthday present to self. Or not.

 

[l_d_allan]

... but Canon), let us know when that will percolate up the line, especially to the 5D and 1D series.

And trickle down to the xxD and Rebel series.

To me, the 7d sensor was state-of-the-art in 2009 or so, and it was great that the lower cost 60d and Rebel series got that sensor. For the price, I've been very happy with the T3i.

 

[jrista]

It's funny...I have anticipated this camera for so long, as I've loved my 7D. Now that it's just around the corner...the only cameras I can think about have nothing to do with terrestrial photography!

 

[pierlux]

;D 8) :-*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jrista has an advanced case of the astrophotography bug. That's an expensive bug to catch, at least if you give it full freedom to grow. ;D I would be more worried about catching this bug, but unfortunately I live in an area with less frequent clear skies, lots of light pollution, and I don't function too well on little sleep, so my AP window of opportunity is Fridays and Saturdays.

On the other hand, telescopes keep getting better for less money.
