Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chosun Juan" data-source="post: 3777548" data-attributes="member: 92780">Rumour Roundup .... !With the 7D introduced in 2009, and the 7D MkII arriving 5 years later in 2014, the rumours in this thread's OP had the 7D MkIII being announced in March/April and launching in August   ~  4 years after the MkII.Even then, the 7DII would have been having it's  *rs*  roundly kicked by the Nikon D500 for 2&1/2 years ! :eek!:Then we were told the 7DIII would arrive in Q4 this year, and then not in 2018 at all. So that makes 3 years + and counting that the D500 will have been able to just run amok unchallenged. Even the DR of the MFT Olympus OM-D EM-1 MkII has been smoking the Canon for nearly 2 years and its resolution is equivalent to a 31MP APS-C (Canon) !!  :eek!::eek!:What the Holy Hector is Canon thinking !!!   :brains:  :h?:  :storm:There has even been speculation that the next 7DIII would be Mirrorless ...... however the less than stellar tracking AF of Canon's EOS R debutant  (and indeed even it's Nikon Z7 cohort) casts a significant shadow over that notion. This following rumour seems to bury it !    <a href="https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?threads/two-canon-eos-r-series-bodies-coming-in-2019-cr2.36135/" target="_blank">https://www.canonrumors.com/forum/index.php?threads/two-canon-eos-r-series-bodies-coming-in-2019-cr2.36135/</a>Not only that, but the half a dozen year gestation period for the Canon 600 f4 DO now seems to be looking like debuting in Mirrorless  'R'  mount .......So much for my dream lightweight kit of 28MP 7DIII + 600 f4 DO ....... GRRRRR !!!So it looks like the next 7D MkIII will still be a DSLR ...... the question is when ?!?Canon typically hold their cards close to their chest, but at the moment we have  .............  *crickets*The only sound you can hear is the Nikon D500 Cash Register ringing up overtime  !!!  $$$Chosun   :gh:</blockquote>
