What a dumb thing to say.
The 7D and the 1D series have about the same ratio of plastic to metal (it's pretty high, actually).
I know lots of pros who will not use the 1D series because of the idiotic built-in grip.
The 7D will crush the 1Dx when it comes to focal length or magnification limited situations.

I'd argue that with a camera like this matching Nikon's pixel count at doesn't matter as much simply because its pixel density that's likely key for a lot of users, 20 MP at a 1.6 crop factor is pretty similar to 24 MP at a 1.5 crop factor.
Some new kind of sensor never seemed likely to me, especially given that multi layer sensors have traditionally had poor higher ISO performance.

CR: "Hey, you know every slightly odd thing we said about 7DII? We are going to say the opposite now. If we're wrong, we're right"

Sorry, I was typing on a phone and lost the last sentence.... Which was "with the revised specs, not having either makes more sense"Diltiazem said:

This wildlife photographer has a lower tolerance for shadow noise and low detail at high ISO. I primarily shoot in low light at the bookends of the day. I'm rarely below ISO 1000, which is why I have only been shooting full frame cameras. It would be great to have the specs listed here paired with a great high ISO crop sensor. The 70d is a fine camera (and sensor) but really only shines in good light.... Of which I rarely find myself in. ;-)

Alrighty. Those are some good specs. I'll be really happy if Canon pushes the nicer metering system of the 1D X down the line. It's about time we all got access to that full RGB high res metering and tracking system.

I do like my 70D, and it's a big jump up from the 7D in IQ. But your point stands. For crepuscular shooting, there's no point in using APS-C.

Actually that s what I hope for. Some say we might get a evf that can be mounted on the flash shoe. But then I ask myself where the mic goes?

We won't know anything until it gets... here's my point
From CanonWatch.com today.....
"Another email from a good source. The rumor contradicts parts of the latest supposed spec list that surfaced a few days ago.
That’s what I have been told:
the EOS 7D replacement will feature a 24MP sensor (no mention if it is a new sensor tech, or not)
a new generation of Dual Pixel CMOS AF is implemented thru the sensor and via the increased CPU power of the EOS 7D replacement
the auto-focus system of the EOS 5D Mark III will be on board
GPS and WiFi will be on board
still not sure if it will be named “EOS 7D Mark II”
Thanks to the source, please send in more information if you can!"

The "confirmed" rumours say that it will have:
a 20.2Mp sensor and a 24Mp sensor that is somehow both new technology and the same as the 70D
It will have WiFi and it wont
It will have GPS and it wont
It will have an RT controller and it wont
It will be 10 or 12 FPS
It will have a built in flash and it wont
It will have a CF slot, a dual CF slot, and a mixed CD and SD slot (That's a lot of cards!)
It will have a fixed screen and an articulated screen
It will have a touchscreen and it will not
It will have 65 AF points, 45 AF points, and 19 AF points
It will have a 1DX top plate and it will not
and last but not least, it will be called the 7D2, the 7DX, or something else entirely....
Way to go nailing down those specifications!

"There is a possibility that it’s an all new 20.2MP sensor and not the same one as the EOS 70D."
Gee, I didn't realize 20.2 MP was some kind of magic number when it came to camera sensors.
New supporting faster/better processors and/or firmware able to provide better results? Ok. But an all new sensor that happens to match the 20.2 MP used in the 70D? Sorry...that's a stretch.

wait a minute....
what about that 120Mpixel APS-H sensor.......
We need to start another rumour.......
