so does this whole 7D release thing happen with a midnight dpreview announcement, or do we have to wait for a midday brikk-and-mörtar press conference from scandanavia?

$1700, so what?
I just wanted to know the price, and I asked like 1700 times, and I just decided that until someone answered, I was going to type price price price in, until it was answered.

Typically released at midnight, Eastern Time in the U.S. (I think?). If tomorrow is announcement day, we'll have the info tonight.
I'm staying up. Then again I'm usually still up anyway at that time of night.

no f/4 high precision either
So it appears, but all 19 points seem to be cross sensors up to f/5.6, which is in some ways better than what you get in the 1DIII if you use any off center points with an f/4 lens. The center sensor is f/2.8 high precision.

Would a 7D White Paper be expected tomorrow as well, or do the white papers typically follow the release date by a few days?

no wireless flash control.
maybe nikon d300s af system still better?
whatever it's, it's a proper 40D replacement unlike the 50D.
6.45 am now. 9am they start work?

Where are you then? The announcement will be a little over 8 hours, I think.

What's the deal with the people celebrating D700 as some "revolution" to show how FF and high burst rate can be done in the same body?
Yes, D700 do some nice things, BUT (except for the high-ISO) with the IQ almost retarded compared to present level. The same level was achieved back in 2004. year (original 1Ds, 5D, 1Ds Mk2...), so when we come to the point that output is most important photographers result, who the hell's excited about the all the bells and whistles that D700 offers?

I've shot with nearly every Canon, and also own a D700, and IMO, it is excellent in all areas. Only one gripe and that's the lack of a 100% viewfinder.

I think a lot of people have been sitting on their wallet waiting for this. I and a buddy have, at least. If these specs are correct we are buying... not waiting on reviews for validation. Early Adopters baby!

In the immortal words of Little Richard: "We're spending our cash and talkin' a whole lotta trash"
I have to buy one, as I always said there should be a pro cropper and always hated the AI servo of the non 1 series. This should shut me up

If it just was not 18MP on a small APS-C sensor. D'Oh. APS-H? maybe.
Can you say Defraction starting around f/5.6 or f/6.3 or so?

The specs say it's APS-C 1.6x. The 1.45x is wishful thinking. It would be nice but the US has more chance of paying off it's debt next year than this happening.
