1. EF-S lenses
2. 6.3 fps (the FF 5D's have always been slower) except for the $4k+ range
3. flash on the body (side shots and supposed top piece.)
4. small prism-indicated by the poster.

It also has a mode dial which means it's under the 5D range since that's the highest price point to include a mode dial. Being that it's not FF, then we're looking at a 50D replacement. Or Canon could drop the 50D, bring back the 40D for $900 body, and sell this for $1400 and that'd be really cool!]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 5:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
For Canon's nomenclature, the xD line goes closer to professional as the numbers approach one. This goes back to the old Eos-1 days. Current hierarchy from lowest to highest is; Rebel 500D->50D->7D->5DMkII->1D/1Ds]]>Aug 29th 2009 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/

That puts it between the 5D Mark II and the 50D although some features are 'better' than those on the 5D Mark II- It also purportedly has a flash master built in.]]>Aug 28th 2009 4:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 5:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
Supposedly it's APS-C, I didn't translate the poster but a few sources have. The general impression is that it'll be APS-C, the lenses introduced with it are also APS-C. It's expected to come bundled with the new 15-85 mm APS-C lens, it's hard to make out but that's the lens that seems to be attached to the camera on the poster.

It'll make a high pixel density on an APS-C sensor with 18 megapixels, hopefully with the dual DIGIC 4 chips they'll be able to control the noise levels better. But yeah... I was hoping for a FF also, let's just wait and see what really transpires, some are doubting the authenticity of this poster though with the lens leaks it's seemingly the real deal.]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
I could see a 50D replacement or it will fill the gap, cause that's a large gap in price between the two mentioned cameras.]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
18MP APS-C could be doable. The 21MP 5DII has better ISO performance than the 1DsMKIII.
Is it really 8fps? I was thinking it would be closer to 6.3 looking at that poster. 8fps @ 18MP w/ APS-H would canibalize the 1DMkIII to no end!!!!! Heck, even if it were APS-C at 8fps the sports shooters would go CRAZY!! I would. Especially in a body that size and that price. Remember it has a mode dial, smaller prism and no grip if the poster is correct.]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 5:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
The 63 is with reference to the zone metering system, I believe. All in all it sounds like a perfect 'poor man's' 1D MK4 as the 5DMK2 is the 'poor man's' 1DS MK3.

I just hope that the video can offer as good quality darks as the 5D Mk2 does and if they threw in variable video frame rates it will be a perfect camera to replace the 40D/50D and will perfectly compliment my 5D MK2.]]>Aug 28th 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 6:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 8:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
I wish Canon would do what Panasonic and company did with the Micro Four Thirds format: lose the mirror, shrink the body down a ton, give us 24FPS at 1080, etc. The quiet shutter is great. I was shooting a wedding recently and was horrified at how loud the mirror flap can be. I felt like I was farting in church. They could really just lose the mirror completely if they had the guts.

The way things are right now, I'm tempted to ebay off my collection of L series glass and go with Panasonic.]]>Aug 28th 2009 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/So essentially would you want a FF sensor in a smaller package to use with your L lenses? But then if you lose the mirror, you'd also have to lose the prism and migrate to at the very best an EVF?

I have an XTi and L series glass. I got the low end body because I was dissatisfied with the full frame offerings (and I had a feeling HD video was coming, so I didn't get the 5dmkI which didn't have it). So I waited. The full frame offerings still disappoint: no AF in Live View, only 20fps in 1080p (?!). No tilt-swivel LCD. Weaksauce.

Yes, I want a full frame sensor in a smaller body without the prism. Also while I'm making pony requests, I'd like 24fps in 1080p mode. I don't care about manual focus, it's currently impossible to MF with the APS-C because of the tiny frame, so I'd be happy with the EVF. Having used the Panny GH-1 I can confirm it's actually easier to focus manually with EVF on a 3-inch LCD than with a standard viewfinder.

Also look at the D700 -- Canon has nothing to compete with that camera either. ]]>Aug 28th 2009 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/The 5D Mark II is almost close in competing the D700, but Canon still don't have anything against the king of semi-pro DSRL, which is the D300.

I think the 7D will be a strong response.
The 7D even has some clear advantages over the 5DmkII.
As for the Engadget comment system, yeah it aint the best, but it aint nowhere near as bad as Gizmodo's comment system.
You'll be lucky if they even let you comment at all, and when they do, it'll go through secondary approval process for first page special treatment.]]>Aug 29th 2009 2:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 29th 2009 1:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/Aug 28th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/]]>Aug 28th 2009 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/28/purported-canon-eos-7d-poster-lenses-turn-up-online/
If it was APS-H, would 8 megapixels really be final MP for a EF-S lens? the difference is 1.3x vs 1.6x, not 1x vs 1.6x.. I would think the MP would be higher - somethign closer to the 10-12 range
