P.S. This is just my opinion and I have no problems with people finding a valid use for the popup flash. If you think it is absolutely critical to your work then I'll respect your point of view on the matter.

Fortunately it is the same opinion as many others - including Canon ;)

I'm putting money on the 7DII not having one.

I sort of disagree. If it's a 7D Mark II priced south of $2K, I think it'll have a popup flash. If it's a 7D X priced north of $2K, I can see them omitting the PUF.

Given that it is likely to be an aps-c camera, the smallish prism leaves room for a flash to fill up the room given by the professional bulge on top of the camera. So I think it will have the popup again.

I expect the 7D MK II, if it is announced, will have a pop up flash (also expect it in $2300.00 neighborhood) and I like them though it won't be a deal breaker for me. I appreciate the suggestion of the 270 as a substitute and will probably buy one if necessary
