Released back in 2009, the Canon 7D is now long overdue for refresh. Canon have not made any official announcement, but this hasn’t stopped the rumour mill churning away with plausible speculation.
The Northlight Images is reporting that the Canon 7D Mark II will feature a higher end version of the dual pixel sensor Canon used in the 70D. A slightly less powerful version of the tech is also rumored to appear in the 700D (Rebel T5i) and 100D (Rebel SL1) replacements. However, it seems some manufacturing issues with the dual pixel design of the 70D sensor has delayed production of the 7D Mark II and other successors, forcing Canon to push back release dates until late summer or possibly even early fall.
Beyond the new sensor technology in the camera, the below specs are just some of what has been rumored to make an appearance in the 7D successor:
- 20MP APS-C Sensor
- ISO 100-12800 (expandable to 25600)
- 1/8000 – 30s, Bulb, X=1/250
- 150,000 shutter life
- Silent shutter mode, similar to 5DMIII
- 19-point phase autofocus
- 8fps
- 15 Raw / 126 JPEG Buffer
- 3.0″ 1040k LCD, touch screen
- Optional WiFi
- Magnesium Alloy body
- Battery capacity 850 shots
- 148.2 x 110.7 x 73.5 mm
- Weight 910g
