And this is an CR3 contact according to canon rumors that is correct 95% of the time

Hopefully video recording allows 24fps instead of Canon being transparent about it and only having 20fps and 30fps.

If true, APS-C is a bit of a letdown... I've been warming up to the idea of a "prosumer" APS-H camera. The more I think about it, the more that seems like a game changer.
That said, I suppose a higher-end APS-C camera would line up nicely against the D300s, and probably be priced around $1800 as well. It would be nice if they go back to the 12mp XSi sensor, but that that's unlikely I suppose...

And Canon Rumors have been wrong at least 99,9% of the time before
Atually I don't belive they got it right even one time

1.6x crop would make this body two years late and many dollars too much (vs D300).
a total misfire.
bonus fail for flash master for "sports" & "birders". ROTFLMAO. What event photogs need 12fps anyways? 5DmkII should have had that. ROTF.
a cheaper, 60d (50d with video & tweaks) would be more welcome in the market & by canon shooters.

but didn't bestbuy have a $2800 price tag on the 7D? that is more realistic for the latest rumored specs, dual card, dual digic, aps-h? "lord of darkness".By definition a 7 series is lower down the food chain than a 5 series. They cannot sell it for more. They would have to call it a 3D.
Why do they avoid the even single digits: no 8D/6D/4D/2D. I know 4 is some how bad luck but 8/6/2 ?
simple math my friend (but tricky, sloppy, obfuscated 'english'):
8 is twice the bad luck as 4 and 2 is half the bad luck but that is still a lotta bad luck while 7 is 1.5 times more bad luck and that is bad

I thought that was the 5D mark II!no the 3d in my opinion would have the 1d metering/A/F as did the eos3 well 99 percent of it...Well then, that's called a 1ds mark III. Honestly, Canon is not going to release a 1ds3 just without the integrated grip and sell it for the 5d2 price. It doesn't make any business sense. The 3D that people have been wanting is basically Canon's version of the Nikon D700. Practical MP with great High ISO and Pro AF. You can't have high rez and pro AF and also weathersealing at a low price- that's what Canon charges a premium for.
what if nikon does it with a d700x soon?
if this had all gone down just a few years earlier and i was first getting a DSLR and saw a d700x im afraid my EOS lenses from film days would've been on buy/sell fast and wouldve made a decisive but regretful (dont like nikon controls) to nikon after having been canon for a long while

"Firstly the market's evaluation of the 5D's AF system has been very positive; there have been no complaints from users, with everyone saying it's very good. Given that, to a certain extent, we think we shouldn't change it. And also there's some limitation with size; the AF sensor in the 50D is very big; the one in the 5D is much smaller. If we wanted to have all cross-sensors in the 5D Mark II, it would mean we might have to sacrifice the compactness of the body. It's all a question of balance of features and benefits."
i found that very ridiculous BS, certainly the last half at least

Earlier quote
One of the most common complaints we've seen about the 5D Mark II is that it still has the same AF system as the original 5D.

I suppose it is possible that Canon intentionally left the 5DmII with an underwhelming AF in order to allow a gap in the lineup for the 7D:
1Ds - Premium pro hi-rez portrait and landscape camera
1D - Premium pro sports camera
5D - 2nd tier pro hi-rez portrait and landscape camera
7D - 2nd tier pro sports camera
xxD - Enthusiast
xxxD - Consumer
That lineup makes a lot of sense from a pro standpoint. You pick the tool you need. Plus gives you a nice (cheaper) backup option if your main camera is a 1-series.
However, it doesn't make a lot of sense from an enthusiast...Show more →
yeah for the advanced enthusiast the D700 tier will soon turn into the most enticing tier of all by far once they get the density up to around 20D reach levels
probably for many pros too
would be an awful shame if nikon started FF like half a decade behind canon and yet beat them to the killer cam by 2 years....
