Seems legit. With what Northlight said about Canon going to APS-C on their coming 18 whatsit process, this sounds about right, and is also about what I have been anticipating for a while (sadly, it was not me who sent the rumor!!!).

Why is everyone assuming this means smaller? I find the design of a 1-series body to be much more ergonomic.
Yep the 1-Series ergonomics must be used to be fully appreciated. While I like most aspects of my 5D3, the 1D4 is streets ahead in the ergonomics department. If the 7DII can close the gap somewhat, then that can only be a good thing. Sports/action/BIF shooters who are lamenting the demise of APS-H will no doubt be looking keenly at this announcement. The new battery? I can only assume it's a higher horsepower item than the LP-E6 to drive the relevant performance benchmarks along. If Canon gets it right, the 7DII will be an absolute killer.neuroanatomist said:Why is everyone assuming this means smaller?

unfocused said:I'm not going to get overly excited about CR1 specs from an "unknown source."
Reserve judgment on a sensor until real specs and results are known (probably won't know that until several months after the announcement). Consensus on this forum seems to be that noise and dynamic range improvements are more important than the number of pixels. Absent a major change/breakthrough in sensor design, I would be surprised if Canon ups the pixel count of the APS-C sensor above that of its full frame offerings.
New battery is a mild disappointment, but I assume Canon would make the change because they have to for design/engineering reasons.
Please, let them keep at least one CF card slot in a dual card system.
New ergonomic design is too vague to warrant comment at this point.
All in all, I'm more excited that we are finally getting rumors about a 7DII. At this point, the content of those rumors aren't as important as the fact that there are rumors circulating.

CHECK.
heck if they changed nothing, and gave it only a new sensor i would buy it again.

You had a faulty 7D. We know already.

why not? you could have a decent wide angle lens like sigma 8-16 or tokina 11-16 insted that canon horror you carry in your bag :'(

This spec is enough to tell that the rumor is fake.
The Digic 5+ processor is a dual-core (quad-core?) Digic.
So, no need to put two Digic 5s in a camera when a single Digic 5+ will do.
This is [CR0].
