I'll be treating the above as a wishlist until I can confirm otherwise. We think a crop for 4K recording on an APS-C sensor would drive videographers crazy.

We think 30mp is way too high for an APS-C sensor unless Canon has made great strides in lowering noise.

The 7D Mark II doesn’t really have any specific features, other than a higher bit rate of the ALL I codec, but it does have a clean HDMI output which gives you an 8 bit 422 codec.

SD and CFast? That would mean having to carry 3 memory card types if this camera is used to back up the EOS-1D X Mark II, which is quite common with the EOS 7D Mark II. The video on the 7D Mark II by today’s standard’s does lack in sharpness and you do have to add quite a lot back in the edit suite.

I'd be interested in hearing what bird photographers think about this.

No AA filter on a camera very targeted at birders could be problematic.

30mp at 12fps would be much greater throughput that both the EOS-1D X Mark II and EOS 5D Mark IV currently have. With the 2.0.3 firmware update to Canon 7D, and the Magic Lantern installed, which is really easy done, just use the steps provided on their page you are flying with the 7D for video recording Just remember to set the Magic Lantern Analouge Audio gain to +20, in order to have the Magic Lantern audio-bars showing anything.

I think it's a bit early to talk detailed specifications, but here's what has popped up online anyway.Ī couple of readers have pointed out a couple of issues with this specification list. This is a camera we reported on back in July and we were told that it was scheduled to come in the first half of 2018, though we haven't received confirmation of the timeline. A detailed specification list for the Canon EOS 7D Mark III has surfaced.
