Anyone else waiting for this Camera to be released?
It has been rumoured for the last 5 years and there were photos of a photographer at the World Cup who always had a camera covered up. Of course he may have just wanted to protect his camera in case it rained, but why let that get in the way of a good story.
Anyway Amazon in the good old USA has now listed the 7D as discontinued. Now is that Amazon have stopped selling it, or has someone inadvertently broken an NDA?????
I just can't see this camera not being announced at Photokina with it being released in Oct/Nov for the Christmas rush. I hope it is but the price will be too rich for me to start with.
I am hoping for the following:-
1) 18mp sensor - the rumours are 24mp, but 18 in the 1Dx helps to keep noise down and speed up. As the 70D is 20mp I can't see it being 18.
2) Very good ISO to 8k - the 7D fell apart after 3200 I believe.
3) 10fps against 8 at the moment and bringing it up to 1D4 speeds
4) Network port - but I really can't see that coming.
5) AF tracking as per the 5D3
6) Weatherproofing as per 5D3
7) Fold out tilt screen
8) Dedicated lock/protect button or re-assignable buttons
9) Price £1379 - same as the 6D
10) Anything else that I have forgotten about & I don't mean a direct print button either
So if you are waiting for or interested in this rumoured camera, what are realistically hoping for and what would you be using it for mainly (i.e. with a long lens, medium zoom, remote, etc etc).
