Canon 7D Mark II (rumored specs):
24.1mp APS-C Sensor
Dual DIGIC 5
10 frames-per-second
Dual Memory Card Slots (CF + SD perhaps)
61 Autofocus Points
3.2? LCD (probably 1,024K dot, our opinion)
Build quality like 5D Mark III
GPS & Wifi
ISO Performance to get close to the 5D Mark III
$2,199

Nikon D7100 specs (announced yesterday)
(from NR):

24.1MP CMOS sensor
6fps
No AA filter (similar to the D800E)
51 AF point, 15 cross-type
Built-in HDR function
2016-pixel RGB sensor
3.2″ 1,229k dots LCD screen
Dual SD card slots
EXPEED 3 processor
ISO range: 100-6400
100% viewfinder coverage
Video: 1080p @ 60i/50i/30/25/24 fps plus 720p @ 60p
Compatible with the WU-1a wireless mobile adapter
$1,199 body only

If rmours are true, with the $1,000 price difference between the two cameras,you can almost buy the “beast” Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 lens along with the new D7100…

You have a good point. In fact, the last time I checked, some online retail stores are selling the 7D body for Php40k only. But i think that instead of repricing it, Canon will just discontinue this camera or else it’s gonna be a disaster for the 60D.

What happened to the part when Canon said that there is no need for a more than 21mp sensor when Nikon launched the D800? Is Canon slowly copying the MS/APPL marketing FUD?

Thanks Ronnie!

The price is really tempting.

But once this gets released, getting the old but great 7D would be a steal too. Expect prices to drop a bit.
