We never had an update yet, but August is main the rumored time. I'm sure it's been rumored for just about every day since the original 7D's release.

If you're serious about it, you'll read up everyday and weigh the information yourself, which means looking up past rumors and their ratings versus accuracy of actual specs and release dates. The rumor sites do have value, but the rumors don't really seem to solidify into anything that may guide your actions until maybe a couple weeks before announcement. The best you're going to see right now is...maybe sometime this year, maybe not.

Hopefully not for another year or two. I'm nailing the 7D workflow and don't want to update PS!

Early to mid-2014 is what I've heard.

Don't hold your breath.

That's what I have heard too. 7D is the first camera in its own league, so there is no release pattern to learn (whether or not they'll release the "inferior" 70D first).

But it makes more sense to release the 70D first, probably with new sensor in the next few months (per CanonRumors). And then release a much superior 7D Mark II next year.

Canon will need to release something soon. Nikon has updated every camera in their lineup, while on the Canon side we are still stuck with the almost-4-year-old 7D and the almost-3-year-old 60D.

The Nikon D400 is just as much vaporware as the Canon 7D2. Neither company has released a new mid level sports/action body for some time.

I don't mind Canon taking their time with it. I just hope they finally decide to actually make the 7D2 a worthy mini 1DX. Dual CF, 5D3 AF, 10FPS, 1DX battery, 18-24MP 1.6x sensor. Canon has plenty of bodies at the lower end of the spectrum. I'm good with a $3000-$3500 7D2 for those stats. Give it a new 100-400 (probably at a similar price point) as the kit lens for $7K.

At least Canon is on the record as indicating a 7D II will be coming. The D400 as far as any body outside of Nikon is aware is dead and buried.

Not a clue when anything will happen but for decisions ---

My vote: Christmas 2014 based on lag time for reviews and deals

At that point

6D is a totally known quantity with substantial discounts (and 6D II rumors)

70D will be out, reviewed and in the wild long enough to evaluate and prices lowered

7D II see above

YMMV

I can assure you that, from a very reliable source, the answer is "soon." Now it's up to you to decide whether "soon" is on the geological time scale or something faster.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I actually appreciate that Canon doesn't constantly pump new bodies onto the market.

I hope they wait until they have bought or developed a new sensor. Better DR would be welcomed. I would also,like to see the 5d IiI/1dx auto focus and 10fps.

I'm expecting next year sometime. I am also expecting it to be way more money than I am willing to spend on a crop body.

+1 Andy.
There is the issue I see. With Canon raising prices way too much on every upgrade of a lens, I'm expecting that the price increase might be more than people are comfortable for a crop camera.
OTOH, if the price goes too high, it will eat into the 6D sales and I cannot see that being a good thing if the trend is to push full frame costs lower with a higher volume of camera sales.
I see the 7DII being a incremental upgrade to keep costs down.

You might well be on point: Have to wonder if Canon isn't reassessing based on the 600D> 650D >700D experience.

In Canon's defense, there are market segments --- maybe major consumer groups --- that buy based on 'NEW!' rather than specs --- so I guess there's no winning.

All the guesses I've seen come in around $2,200 which might be very doable if 1DX features are applied to a crop body; esp a few months out when the price stabilizes in the upper teens.

But I wonder if Canon is factoring in the growing likelihood of internet taxes which would add almost another $200. That could turn the release into a stall between the higher price point and consumer frustration.

Just thinkin'

Can you be more specific about your definition of "soon"?

I think even early next year is still "soon" to me, but, if it's like in the next few months, that's "very very soon".
