If you go by the fact that the 7D is old, outdated, and the 70D gives you a better (arguably) camera for a lower price and is killing 7D sales, then the 7D2 would have to be the next update.... but you can't forget that the Rebels are the vast bulk of Canon DSLR sales and that an updated ( even very minor) Rebel will have far more impact on the bottom line than the 7D2 will have...
Despite my almost delusional desire for a 7D2, to me it makes sense that the next camera will be a new Rebel.... after all, the T5i is a year old and overdue for a replacement.....

For what is expected of the new 7D (essentially, for it to be as much better than the current lineup than the 7D was in it's day), they should seriously consider not announcing until they're ready to bring it to market (meaning only need to populate the supply chain).
I've harped on this before, but one of the best things Apple did was pull out of the product release cycle based on certain conference dates. Why bring a product to market at the market's cycle and not your own design/test/produce cycle?
This goes, too, for the people saying "how will canon answer the Lego Mindstorm DSLR market?" --- well, while it's healthy to keep an eye on your competitors, isn't it best to chart the path best for you?
All that said, and back to my initial point, for how good the 7D is, and how 'late' it seems to all of us, we're all inferring that it's going to be REALLY good and NO FLAWS since they've had time to work on it . . . anyone who thinks it's not going to be total sticker shock, though, is kidding themselves ;D

It could be a 70D with higher frame rate, more robust body, pro weather sealing. That would add $500 to the price of the 70D, and it would be purchased by bird/wildlife/sports enthusiasts. It should also hold its higher price tag longer than the 70D.

one of the oldest.
the 135mm f2.8 soft focus is from 1987 (october) if im not wrong.
and it´s still listed.
not that i need a refresh of that lens....
the 50mm f2.5 macro is from december 1987.
completely forgot about the 135mm soft-focus. although last time I talked with a canon dealer in India, I was told 135 soft focus is not available anymore in stock. probably that lens has been discontinued. even adorama doesnt have that lens listed on their site.
if you want it give me a call. it´s available here in germany.
I dont want it, but a friend of mine was looking for one couple of months back. he bought a used one as new 135 soft focus were not available. In India people are dumping used cameras and lenses at crazy prices just two days back saw an advert for a used 5D mk3, seller was asking for just 95000INR(Divide by 60 for usd). even there is a used 7d with 400 f5.6l for 1,10,000 INR.

The problem is: It could be anything. Here are some of my suggestions:
- It might be a more lightweight mark II 800mm lens, taunting all those happy 600mm mark II owners to upgrade
- It might be a new 35mm to put some distance between Canon's offering and Sigma's offering
- It might be a new TS-E lens for product photography (wasn't something like this announced already?)
- It might be a new 20mm wide-angle (for whatever reason I like that focal length, but this one is merely wishful thinking on my part)
- It might be another movie-oriented lens
The last one is what I really expect (and don't need or want at all).

I really hope that Canon doesn't release another rebel series dslr.. I still see t3i being sold and don't even see the t4i much and even less of the t5i. the price differences are so minimal now too. Just stop. lol Who wouldn't be happy to see a new rebel like every 1.5-2 yrs? Maybe it's just me? anyways, rumors rumors~~

Let's just hope it will be a 7D Mark II so that at least this waiting game is finally over and we will have a nice new camera to talk about and not just the frustrated concerns regarding what we have come to expect to be released.

Photos/Photo Book Reviews: www.thecuriouseye.com
Reading some tea leaves:
- May is not a good time for the 7DII: too close to Photokina, but yet, not quite close enough.
- If it is a Rebel/XXXD it will almost certainly have the 70d sensor.
- They've milked the T3i for a long time, yet it is still the number one selling DSLR on Amazon. Seems like a dilemma to me.
- Canon is disappointed by the SL1 sales. A safe approach might be to make the SL2 the next camera with dual pixel sensor.
- If it is not the 7DII, then I think that increases the odds that the 7DII will have a new sensor.

The Rebel updates aren’t for us, they’re for people who don’t have dSLRs, or have an old Rebel that’s been sitting in a drawer since 6 months post purchase and think that buying a new camera will rekindle their ‘love for photography’. If they keep bringing in fresh meat then they don’t have to worry about attrition loses of cantankerous enthusiasts that sit on a website discussing Canon product. They pretty much already got us right where they want us.

Are you going to get a CANONdale road bike?

Heh. That's precisely why a new Rebel makes sense.
Canon now has two entry-level Rebels - the new T5 and the SL1. Both are $500 models, basically.
To charge a premium for the higher-end Rebel, Canon needs to better differentiate it from the entry level models.
Hence, it makes the most sense for Canon to update the 700D/T5i next. Probably with the 70D sensor and video features.
