These specs look somewhat promising. I just hope that this is Canon's answer to the D700. The D700 has for sure been a party pooper for Canon and I just hope they react soon. All I would want would be the original 5D's sensor with better high ISO (1 stop would suffice), the same unmatched low ISO quality, and add on wethersealing and the AF of the 1D2 series. As long as it is 4-5 fps that would be fine.

2900 for kit with 28-135 IS. Maybe a new lens with the newer IS technology.I don't think that it would be a new IS technology since it only adds 200 dollars to the price. but on the other hand why would they put the old 28-135 wiith 2 stop IS on a brand new camera. something seems off

Can anyone make out the attached lens? I don't remember one that had a button (presumably the AF/M switch) that was flush to the lens barrel and that close to the mount? The closest I can think of is the new 85mm?

The only problem with this, if it is true, is that it may piss off alot of recent 5D mkII buyers.

Regarding the price, Best Buy is listing the 7D at $2699 for the body and $2899 for the kit.
The camera may be released at lower than the given MSRP.
For example, at Best Buy the G11 is $599. At Amazon and B&H it's $499.
At Best Buy the S90 is listed at $499. At Amazon and B&H it's $429.
I bought my 5D for $1200 less than the Best Buy price through Amazon 18 months ago.

Dual Digic III's cheaper than Digic IV?

could you imagine a 12mp full frame camera with todays technology? pixels almost double the size of the 5d mk2. it would take in more light then my fat step mother tanning. That would be amazing.

Just like the 5D Mkll having 21mp and same IQ with better LCD at 1/3 the price pissed off a lot of 1DsMk3 buyers, Including myself!

It means a high margin for resellers. Canon is still selling it at bulk price and most certainly not greater than MSRP.

Not sure why such a body would retail for $2,700. Gotta be something more to it.

If these specs are true, I'd suspect significant focus improvements for that price. Or video, but that wouldn't make sense.

This is EXACTLY what I want.....which is why I'm not buying into the 5D2. I want 12 high quality megapixels, I want creamy noise free blacks, I want autofocus that doesn't leave me guessing. And most of all, I don't want video. I'm a pro photographer and want my money going for quality things I'll actually use, rather than having a device that does everything mediocre. If the 7D is a revamped 5D1 I may just buy 3. If it's $1800 with 5d focus, I'll buy it. If it's $2700 with 1 series focus I'll buy it. I'd prefer the 1 series focus.

I'm hoping the 7D is the old 5D (12ish Mpxls) but with even better noise/ISO control with Digic IV, a dust shaker on the sensor, AF microadjust and the new screen from the 50D/5DmkII.
That'll do me... oh yeah and sell it for a price which will drop to £900 after about a year so I can buy one.

I think that right now, it's become a spec-guessing festival!
The only thing I will say with some certainty (but not absolute certainty) is that it will not have Digic III processor(s). It will be Digic IV or Digic V.
