Where is the AF capability at f/8, all the specs and preview pages I have read so far have not mentioned this.

I'm so glad someone else is this excited about this. I never thought it would happen either, but that is AWESOME.
Was going to sell my backup 7d, move primary to backup, and add a 7d2 as primary.
Now might have to sell both and buy two...

The original 7D was an amazing camera with a mediocre sensor...the 5DII was a mediocre camera with an amazing sensor...I'm wondering how much has changed with the 7DII.
The 5DIII's IQ is far better than just being a better chip. It's iso abilities and per pixel sharpness are in a different league to any of Canon's 1.6x cameras. Hopefully the 7DII can close some of that gap.

I have to say that it looks far more like a sure thing now that it's real, and not just something speculated upon by us rumourmonglers.
Neuro was right in his ideas about the "jogging" lever around the base of the joystick.
USB 3.0 is about time.
But that battery - looks like this beast will need more juice if the battery "only" lasts for 670 shots. More grips sold shortly...
I was not too far off on my guess on the pricing. And I think it will sell in pretty good numbers.
My personal complaints about the 7D Mark II will continue to be the SD slot, and I will, probably, add the battery to that. On the upside: I don't see me owning it in the near future, so I won't have to complain and whine about it.
Edit: Tossed a question out to someone that have had the chance to test it slightly. Lets see if I can get some answers...

I missed what Neuro said, and haven't seen anything else in this release material. Anyone care to link / explain it? Thanks in advance!

Also new for the 7D-series are interchangeable focusing screens. The default screen is calibrated to display approximately a f/5.6 depth of field, however for precise manual focusing with f/2.8 lenses or faster, a Super Precision Matte screen is available as an optional accessory that will show the true super-thin depths of field through the viewfinder.

Looks like Canon is bringing back interchangeable focusing screens, nice.

I thought I saw 800 somewhere- might've been B&H's spec comparison to the 7d. Regardless, I got about 2000 on Saturday and only went through half an LP-E6 before swapping it out- that's about 4x as many shots as Canon claims for that battery in the 7d. If that holds true, I won't worry too much about the new battery...

Reaction of still 'tog non-sports-shooter to official 7d2 announcement: Yawn
Maybe videographers aren't underwhelmed?
Maybe BIF or outdoor sport 'togs aren't underwhelmed?
I'm speculating that the 7d2 has a "mild refresh" of the sensor in the 70d ... and I hope I'm mistaken when actual in-depth reviews are available.
According to SensorGen.info, the DR of the 70d is 10.9 EV. That's actually LESS than the 7d or T3i with 18 mpix sensors and 2009 technology.
"Best of breed" APS-C sensors from Sony range from 13+ to 14 EV (for older D7000 which may be a misprint?)
I will admit that the AF system of the 7d2 looks very impressive for outdoor sports, but I'm not that much of a "sports shooter". The sports I do take tend to be indoor basketball.
I wouldn't consider the 7d2 to be all that suitable for indoor sports action ... based on it not having good enough high ISO. I again hope I'm proven wrong when in-depth reviews are available.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes 7d2 video technology and AF to "filter down" to the Rebel line.
My 2¢:
• If I owned a Rebel with one or two EF-S lenses, and
• was seriously thinking of upgrading to full-frame,
• I'd give very serious though to abandoning Canon and going to Nikon or Sony full-frames
YMMV

That switch at the joystick is made to toggle through different AF area modes. I asked about this in two other threads and he was presuming this.
Thanks! I guess I never really had a problem with AF-point button, then MFn to cycle through area modes... but at least there's an answer!

Same here. My speculation is that the sensor will turn out to be a mildly refreshed 70d.
According to SensorGen.info, the 70d at 10.9 ER actually has LESS DR than the 18 mpix sensor in the 7d and T2i (with 2009 technology)
