Canon are market leader.
There is no need to have the best products, to have the highest prices is enough to guarantee exclusivity.

I'm still convinced that we will also see a new 100-400 Mkii. A local dealer mentioned he would organize a try-out weekend by the end of the year for the new lenses and forgot to stop telling then. He mentioned 2 lenses being the 100-400 and a 28-300. The last one is also mentioned in the rumors lately (not in a L version), so I think his words are still correct.

the hype around the 7D MK2 created by rumor sites over the years seems to be just that.. hype.
i don´t think we will see that fantastic new sensor.
i don´t think we will see the fantastic video features.
i don´t think we will see 1D build quality.
what we will see is what canon does all the time. an evolution not a revolution.
it will be a good camera with a great AF system. but nothing that takes away our breath.
and as there was no spotting of a 100-400mm MK2 in the wild i guess we will not see the 100-400mm MK2 at photokina.
i think we even got more infos (and images) about the EF 200-400mm x1.4 before it was released?!

For the last 4 years, people have been saying with great confidence that the 100-400 is about to be released.
Canon has said nothing.
Nobody has seen one in the field.
Nobody has hinted that they have one to test.
In other words, don't believe it until you see it......

Serious question . . . wasn't DPAF with STM lenses a huge thing for video? I'm not a video guy myself but the improvements that I saw in terms of AF for video put Canon miles ahead of Nikon at least. Tony Northrop or someone similar did an interesting video of the same chat showing how a Nikon setup failed abysmally to track him speaking when put up against the new Canon capability.
It didn't interest me too much, I've probably used video on my DSLR about half a dozen times but the video made it look like an impressive leap at the time. Certainly beyond "evolutionary".
Or was it not such a big thing?

for amateurs maybe.
but i have yet to see a serious videographer who doesn´t prefer pulling the focus manually.
it´s still not ready for real production shots.
you don´t want the focus to hunt, not even a bit. it looks unprofessional.
IF canon would really aim at video geeks they would add 4K (even when that doesn´t make sense for most people today).
canon says they think video is important and that´s why i wonder why they don´t counter the GH4. it´s fear to cut into other sales i guess. :
P&S cameras that are updated every 12 month begin to have 4K video.
the 7D MK2 is here to stay for way longer i guess.

but you don´t use video, i don´t use video on my DSLR.
in fact i personally don´t know anyone who does.
the people i know who own a DSLR don´t shoot DSLR video.
it would be nice to have some numbers, hart facts about video usage, but i don´t have them.
i guess the people really interested in DSLR video will sooner or later use a rig and pull the focus manually.

Well I do think that plenty do. And I keep meaning to though having once tried videoing a school play with my old 550d I may be scarred for life. It was a 70 minute production so watching out for the max time for a single chunk of video was stressful enough. Watching the overheat symbol come on 20 minutes before the end was shall we say slightly more stressful. It made it in the end and was the "best quality" video they had been given from such an event (no professionals here of course!).
Since that night though just the thought of going into video mode raises my blood pressure 10%!
