There seems to be a segment in the Canon community that will be much disappointed with no 7D III offering. Personally, I'll be surprised to see any new 7D offerings. I make this observation, given the current push by Canon and other mfgs., to give us more mirrorless offerings, whether it be crop or full frame bodies. It's obvious that Canon has invested a lot of R&D in the new RF lenses and the only way to recoup this tremendous investment is to give us bodies these lenses will work on. I own a gen one 7D body and, even with L glass, have found the photos from same, somewhat soft and lacking, even when using a tripod. Photos from my M50 using an inexpensive EF-M 22mm lens, or even the 15-45mm kit lens are sharper than photos taken with my 7D, using any lens + the compact size of the M series cameras makes them much easier to carry. Instead of upgrading my 7D to a 7DII, I opted for a new 6DII during last fall's Black Fri sales, for a very reasonable cost of only $1100.00, including a free grip. To date, my only real disappointment with my 6DII is the slow frame rate, making it somewhat lacking when doing action or wildlife photography. But, at least the photos are sharp. As to the future, I am waiting for the Pro R body with a faster frame rate, so I can then take full advantage of the great RF lens offerings., lenses that even the likes of Nikon fanboys like Jared Polin, sing their praises. We're waiting, patiently. Bring on that body, Canon.
