I know, they've totally been dogging it.

Canoneer said:It would be interesting to see if Canon opted for an APS-C global shutter in the 7D III. They've had the 1/2.3" CMOS global shutter prototype with high DR finalized in 2016, I'm sure they could scale it up to APS-C with reasonable die yield (i.e. sensor production cost effectiveness) by now. That would certainly make it stand out from the crowd along the likes of the D500 and A6500.

Not a problem - I'd actually never looked at it in terms of how many lines there were, so I've learned something from my own table (BTW one of the few bits of hand coded HTML I still edit from the old site ;-)ahsanford said:keithcooper said:Ah - I see a screen grab off one of my Canon info pages, has been annotated ;-)
Keith! A foul on my part -- I usually give a NL nod when I photoshop up your chart. My sincerest apologies.

Perhaps in some places, but:

MAP is still $1499 from authorized folks these days, surprisingly only a shade down from the initial $1799 from 3.5 years ago. I believe the 7D1 got even lower in MAP price before the 7D2 was announced in 2014, like $1300 or so.

LSeries said:My theory is that they have 7D3 almost ready, but are changing plans. They need more innovation as their CEO said. Eventually the 7D3 will come with Android for easy image sharing to Instagram etc crap services. I wouldn't mind.
Some minor improvements to 7D2 is not innovation.
I'm referring to this: https://petapixel.com/2018/01/09/canon-lagging-innovation/

You are right, it's not this. You guys generate and fan the flames of GAS. Canon should love you -- it's not like you guys are offering a bounty to corporate/factory employees to sneak out major reveals like the cell phone folks do.

EduPortas said:Canon will release a new 7D for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
This is Canon's premier APS-C model, so it will have everything a pro
would ever want for that particular event at a reasonable price, just like its predecessors.
Save for the absence of 4K recording, the 7DM2 is a formidable beast. Only Nikon's D500 poses any sort of competition.
When you're the worldwide leader in DSLR sales, there's no rush to oversaturate the market you yourself created.
Sabaki said:There's a few questions I feel need to be posed regarding the next 7D model as I was rather underwhelmed with the AF performance of the mark ii
1) Was using the 1DX/5D3 auto focus system the best possible decision or would an AF system designed for the APS-C environment better suit the mechanics of these bodies?
2) Does performance demand a larger battery to drive those big white lenses? We know the big batteries provide the 1DX with better performance but the majority of the market cannot afford a 1DX. Certainly there's an argument for it.
3) This won't happen but if I could twist Canon's arm on one thing, it would be to put a dedicated processor into the 7Diii to deal with ITR.
Better sensor performance is a given. Advancements here and there are a given. In my opinion, the above will help the 7Diii set the bar for APS-C sports/wildlife/action bodies
The release timing of the 7D MkIII has absolutely nothing to do with the Olympic Games.
