7D mark II rumours ?

Well that's great. Except it doesn't have the same pixel count... OP estimate of stats says 24 MP. So it is not a typical full frame with edges chopped off. Which would be more like 10 MP.
Nobody's gonna buy a 10MP camera for more than pocket change, period. That's marketing suicide. Doesn't matter if it makes sense or not to use to take pictures.

Thought we were discussing what *could* be done. There's a 36MP Nikon full frame. Scaled down that would be 18-24MP. I suspect 18MP DSLRs would sell (given that they do)

@Derrel, 6d doesn't cost $1900.

I got mine for $2300 including a lens that sells like hotcakes on ebay for at least $650 used, probably more if you can say you've never used it. Thus the 6D costs $1650 at most. And you can be liquidated and at that price with your bank account if you want within a week. Just consider the 24-105mm kit lens as a $250 instant rebate.

$1650 + $550 ("five to six hundred") = $2200, AKA exactly the guess price of the 7D Mk II in the opening post.

You are right..the 6D is $1,799 today, after the $100 Canon Instant Rebate has been deducted. Let's call it, "One thousand eight hundred dollars".

And with the $100 rebate deducted, the 6D + Canon 24-105-L zoom is $2,399. Let's call it ,"Two thousand four hundred dollars."

Let's look at the ACTUAL, current, retail prices of the equipment as "the price"...not some back-alley deal or some fly-by-night one-day-only, web-order price that "one guy" got "one day" after "waiting for six months to buy the godd**ned thing."

If you're willing to pay $2200 for a 7D MK ii why not throw in the extra few hundred and get the 5D MK III?

You got that right !!!!!!!!!

Actually, a D800 shot in crop mode is 12 Mp. Sorry.

Ok, but really the impotant question, will it have a bottle opener.

Alright, you laugh but Pepsi is bringing back the glass bottle, and believe me nothing is better than an ice cold pepsi in a glass bottle. So if they've got a bottle opener in there I might be convinced to switch.. lol

Megga ditto on glass coke and pepsi bottle. !!!!!!!!
