THe new sony Alpha 850 is even more tempting :bsmilie: than the 7D for its price and features
 

i don't tink higher megapixel is useful. I tink if u r hobbyist i tink a 10mp will be gd enuff. Perhaps a higher mp is useful if u r doing commericial work and u will nid to do large printing. Just my tot, correct me if i wrong.
 

Still the 24.6 Megapixel Sensor is WOW , plus the price of it is About 1.8k USD

To me resolution is not an issue since i don't print anything larger than super 8R size, so even a 6-8MP sensor is gd enough.
 

Might upgrade considering that the next iteration for 5D MK2 is 1.5 years away (3 year cycle)
Just a slight correction. The 5D2 was only launched around mid Sept 2008 making it less than a year old. So if you're waiting for it's successor, it'll be a 2 year wait if the 3 year cycle holds true. Another '6 months' of reason to get the 7D if it's indeed a reality.
 

Who knows? That may well be the 60D, and 7D will come out only next year. Hehe

:Later,
 

The picture? I can't see where it gave the clue that it's a cropped.
Can point out to me?

Alternatively, look hard at the words on the lens under the 'Canon' word. Believe it says EF-S 18-55mm ?

Can't see myself.... but if its true, then likely sensor would be APS-C (1.6x) instead of APS-H (1.3x)..... or Canon did a big mod on the camera and 1.3x sensor could fit EF-S lens.... much like Nikon FF camera..... :think:
 

http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/forum/topic/808502 If this is true, then it will be a 1.6x crop. Or maybe it's just another photoedit.

If this is true, the kit lens are much better than the current kit for 18-55.

I am hoping that it is a 1.6 crop, and then use for birding. My existing lenses suddenly have a 1.6 TC added without image degrading.:bsmilie:
 

Here are the purported new leaked pics of the EOS 7D...from a popular Chinese photography forum. And a new macro lens! 100mm f2.8L IS?

Updated info from CR.

Finally
Here are some pictures of the 7D and 100L IS Macro.

Probably Translation
1. 18MP APSC CMOS
2. Dual DIGIC 4
3. 8 FPS (~14 FINE JPEG/ 15 RAW)
4. New eight-directional double cross central AF point, total 19 cross AF points
5. ISO 100-6400 (Exp 12800)
6. ~100% 1.0X magni VF with intelligent display, horizon assist
7. New iFCL metering (exposure and colour)
8. 3′ 920K Version II LCD, 160 deg viewing
9. Full HD video (w external mic input n HDMI output)
10. Live view w Face-priority AF
11. New switch for Live View/Video mode

What caught my eyes are the following "Aero-dynamic body design" (!), "supports EOS intelligent speedlite system" (flash commander?!) and "160 deg viewing" (tilt?! Yey!)

:Later,

this pretty much levels up Canon's line-up if it proves true.. 8fps, 19pt AF, new exposure metering system, built-in as master flash addresses alot of the shortcomings thus far..
 

"160 deg viewing" (tilt?! Yey!)
Think it just means you can view it from 160 degrees, no tilt as can be seen from the leaked photo. What caught my eye was the thing on the grip stock of the camera in the photo. Wonder what that is/does...

I think its the IR-port for IR remotes..
 

Good upgrade for 40D fellow.............
Wo layyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Hope it in the range of S$ 2.5k-2.7.body only.
Do it feature of the micro lens adjustment?:think:
2 more day......
 

Since most westerners don't understand Chinese, why not post the leaked brochure info directly? ;)
