Have to say it looks pretty good. The new AF, new sensor (will be closely watching reviews for info on that), AF at f8, dual memory card slots...................................I'll be getting one by the end of the year unless some horrible flaws come to light.

 

[Ashraf Kotb]

I have the older version, and I'm eager to discover the new one with all the new features. I hope it would be much better than the original 7D in terms of AF "especially with 65 focus points", high ISO management, and image processing and color reproduction.

Will wait for a couple of weeks till the reviewers get their hands on it, and will then place my order.

According to Amazon: "This item will be released on November 17, 2014".

Body wise, it looks like a might impressive step up. Now we just need to wait for some high ISO images to come out.

I was lucky to have a play with one! check out http://blog.parkcameras.com to see my thoughts. I'm a 7D user and I've pre-ordered mine!

Jessops has an advert for pre-order! I wonder if it has the previous ability to fire speedlites?

The built-in pop-up flash is convenient for many applications and can also act as an optical controller with compatible off-camera EX-series Speedlites for enhanced pro-quality lighting effects.

I think the UK would add VAT and customs duty too.

Thanks. It's good to know the 7D batteries will fit & those high ISO shots look promising.

Customs? UK and Holland are part of the European Union, so no customs are applied

VAT? Already included in the price, so it won't get double taxed in the UK. European tax law

Very professional and trustworthy store. You can communicate with them in English.

Thanks I was not sure about that when importing

For me, I guess I'll get the American version as it will be much cheaper than the European.

YES. I'm a Nikon guy, but I want all you Canon photographers to buy these like crazy! Order 2 for yourself, and 3 more as gifts! I want this camera to break all sales records for Canon! Send those Nikon idiot bean-counting executives a strong message! Please!
