Looks like Canon will not launch the speculated 60D anymore since the 7D has so close specification with the speculated 60D. The XXD series may just stop at 50D.
IMHO..... xxxxD would likely be drop. Price cut for both xxD & xxxD should be the way. You earn less per Camera but sell more and keep Market Shares..... keeping CANON world num1 :bsmilie:
Unless the 7D is APS-H type sensor, the XXD might still can survived down the road in future, if not, the XXD will become history. It's not logical for Canon to keep different series of camera with so close related in spec and function. My guess is, if 7D is APS-C size sensor, the XXD series will be eliminated, leaving XXXXD series for entry level DSLR user, XXXD series for budget consumer, XD series for semi pro and pro user.
Well.... all will be made known soon enough.... a few more days till Sept :bsmilie:
I have been waiting for a body upgrade to my aging 40D... $2500 for the 7D, $3000 for the 5D2. Both are very different beast but I hope 7D's 18MP will be a breakthrough.
So should we start selling off our xxD now before the price drop next month? Sell of now, get the $$$, next month get the 7D... hahaha. But what if the rumour is fake? end up its a 60D with not much improvement or something like that...
Now... I certainly would like to get a 5Dmkii for that price ! :bigeyes:
Where did you get that from ?![]()
Wait abit more lor..... still no black&white on what the spec or even the price going to be.... any last minute 'co*k-up' could make selling your camera pointless.... :bsmilie:

The 7D is a very 'realistic' rumor indeed, though we're not recommended to sell off the XXD on hand, just wait few more days and see what more features it has before dumping your XXD, ha ha.
Make worst by the fact that the price is yet unconfirmed..... $1699 USD doesn't mean $1699 x exchange rate..... could be higher or lower.... much like prices in China, HK & S'pore is difference. If the price is too close to that of the 5D MkII.... likely most would rather go FF, unless you need the speed of the new camera.
But never mind lah.... my buget for Camera or Lens would be at years end (Xmas present for myself).... all will be known by then... hopefully :bsmilie:
Guys, invest in lenses....camera bodies have reached a state where the improvements are getting very small as compare to the improvement made in the days of D30 to 10D. Body improvement have very marginal improvement to the image quality now. Therefore, lenses might bring more satisfaction.
And lenses don't really drop priced that much.
Agree. This seems to be another marketing strategy, if they price the 7D close to 5DII, it might attract some people to go for the FF, result in more sales for 5DII...
Agree on the investment of lens instead body, but IMO, for certain circumstances, good body (with good ISO) does helps
Maybe a backup set for pro user. Too many speculation, let's wait few more days to see what would Canon announce, or nothing at all.![]()
