Needs to be a huge improvement in several areas: Sensor must be state of the art. The 80D sensor is nowhere near good enough for the flagship APS-C, it has worse noise than the 7DII and only has better DR at low ISO. 7D3 needs to leapfrog D500 sensor in DR and noise, should be BSI and also stacked. Resolution doesn’t need to change much 20-24MP is plenty. Should jump to 12fps, with a 5s RAW buffer ie 60 RAW, needs a more reliable AF system with dual cpu’s and much better coverage and much larger number of points. AF at f/8 with all points. 7DII shows a lot of inconsistency when focusing which is why so many of us have jumped on the D500 . Apart from 4K, it needs to offer good 4K, no crappy crop of a crop, full sensor readout 6K, oversampled to 4K. Needs dual cards, but either XQD and UHS-II or CFast and UHS-II. Illuminated buttons, hybrid EVF+OVF (not going to happen), USB3, 4K over HDMI, stereo speakers, tilt-swivel 2.4MP rear LCD, wifi, gps.
Just adding 4K to an otherwise similar 7DII will not cut the mustard. Already mirrorless is making huge in-roads, G9, E-M1 II, a6500 are very good in AF and blow away 7DII for features. While specs are not everything and implementation is most important, Canon are really falling behind in features and yet it's also not the best in class in area anymore....Show more →
As long as only Canon and Nikon offer the top quality long teles, the only real competition for many is the D500, though I agree that in general Canon needs to step up its game.
