If you are lucky, it will be announced before May 31.... but there can be several months between announced and available, so the odds are very high that you are not getting a 7D2....

EOS 7D Replacement coming in 2020 with an "all new" version of the 2009 sensor?
maybe an EOS 7D replacement coming in 2020 with an "all new" version of the 2009 sensor???
i´m personally sick and tired to wait for a new canon image-sensor generation, that isn´t a derivate of the 2009 sensor.
5 years. why not 10 years? the 7d does make "ok"-photos. and in 2009 it was a great camera. like others were in the 70s.
canon doesn´t want my money, as it seems. probably, they don´t get it in future times.

True story: I started saving for this camera 2.5 years ago. I've not had my 5DMkIII for over a year. I've started saving again and now have enough for it--want it for the 1.6X crop sensor and birding.

Are you sure you have enough for it? I mean when Canon came out with the 600mm F4L IS II no one believed it would cost over $10K. Highly likely Canon will milk our bank accounts once again with new release hype.

I bet: 2500-3000... And if the MPs are lower than 24, the DR just average, the AF not better than the 70Ds - even enough consumers will buy it. Because its out of the 7D - family.
On the other hand, Canon knows that other brands are not sleeping and releasing one camera after another. The new rumored D9300 looks to be an game changer in its class - if you belive the Nikonians. Maybe this is enough pressure for Canon to release an worthy successor. But then they will milk us as much they can...

My 7D wish list
o better ISO performance ie less noise
o f/8 centre point AF
o second memory slot. eg SD
Don't change
o crop factor
o use of CF
o battery
Not interested
o Hinged screen
o Improved flash control
Fantasy section
o Bluetootooth iPhone interface
use camera functions, Liveview, tap focus , GPS tag, upload, edit and email photos
o left handed version
Sounds like I want 1D X

In less than 5 months, it'll be 5 years since the 7D was announced and nothing so far indicates that a 7D II will ever be released ... I've lost my interest in it and if it does get released, I most likely will not buy one.

And when it turns out to be the best camera in Canon's lineup from a <insertyourpreferredfeaturehere> (1D X excluded from comparison
), you'll most definitely be interested again! 
While it is pretty odd that the 7D replacement has taken so long to deamorphize, I don't think it will arrive and be a dud, either. The 7D was (is?) one of Canon's most popular cameras, and they have to know that there are very high expectations for it's replacement. While it's certainly a personal choice whether to buy one or not, to not buy one just because it hit the streets later than you wanted is hardly a good reason. ;P And I think it's interesting for the very fact that it's taking so long...it just....HAS to be GOOD! Right?!

It has to be better than the current 7d....so that would make it the best canon aps-c available...when it is available. Ive held out buying a 2nd 5diii. As i see it, just waiting for the pre-orders to start.

From the UK magazine T3 - "A firmware update in 2012 improved Canon’s aging 7D DSLR greatly, but now the Mark II is officially on the way. It’s been road-tested at the Winter Olympics and will have another outing at the World Cup before landing in time for Chrimbo"
