70D and 7DII Rumors

[sovietdoc]

I am actually surprised about the low fps on 5d3. Yes it's godlike faster than 5d2 but given it's AF system, it needs 8 fps at least.

 

[msaha]

I think that if Canon wanted to introduce 7D MRKII it would have 20MP sensor, and with the same 8FPS while ISO is somewhat bumped up a notch.

the frame count is the only thing the 5DMIII hasn't got that the 7D has (barring sensor). The AF, the ISO, the video, the features -- everything in the 5DMIII is either superior or equal to the 7D. Currently the only reasons to want a 7D are because you want crop sensor or can't afford a 5DMIII, but need the improved AF.

The frame count is - a much lesser issue than many make it out to be.

One thing that the 7d has that the 5dmIII does not is a built in flash. I don't understand why Canon won't include a flash on it's FF cameras. It just comes in handy from time to time.

I also wonder if Canon will ever put out a model that will accept both EF and EF-S lenses like Nikon's do. (Nikon's versions of those lenses of course)

Great forum BTW.

And maybe if we pray reaaaaalllly hard they will add an integrated radio trigger.

I don't think they will ever add a radio trigger. I think we could see a wifi trigger before a radio trigger. Radio Triggers bring the cameras into a completely different regulatory authority and each country regulates it differently. A distribution and manufacturing nightmare and there is no reason for any of the big names to do that to themselves, especially since there are fairly cheap radio triggers available and there are competing technologies that do not have the same regulations.

Like I said, I think there is a better chance that the next generation of cameras will have wifi, and you will be able to control auxillary flashes on a network instead of using a radio transmitter.

I have not personally been in a shooting situation where I thought "Jeeze I wish my 5DI or II had a pop up flash."

Ummm. I have a 7D and it has EF & EF-S lenses??? Both seem to work fine.

They obviously mean on a full frame camera.

But that won't happen...

That's the point, Captain Obvious.

That would defeat the purpose of EF-S lenses lol

Good for you buddy. I can just see you sitting at your computer reading my post and thinking "Jeeze here's my chance to be a prick"

Read the post again bud. That's my point. Your 7D isn't a FF.

I wasn't trying to be a prick, and I don't think it should have come across that way. How is speaking about my personal experiences, and stating it as a personal experience in the same sentence make me a prick?

What is YOUR issue, dude?

The way you wrote it with "jeeze" I thought you were trying to be smug about it. If that wasn't your intention then I'm sorry I came at you that way. I'm not trying to start anything or disrespect anyone.

It's just been my experience that when shooting HDR shots of statuary that sometimes it helps to have one of the brackets with some fill-in flash. And from time to time it's nice to go out shooting without having to carry a bunch of stuff, so an on-board flash comes in handy...It's a very small percentage of time, but it would be nice.

I love canon but the flash on the Nikon FF's and their ability to utilize both crop and FF lenses would be nice for Canon.
