Guess - if that top view is the 7D then it'll be 1.3x crop.

As for the on/off switch placement, didn't the 30E have its on/off switch there?

Just for the record, I've never been a fan of the on/off switch position on my 20D, 40D or 5D. It ALWAYS ends up switching to the halfway point when I don't want it to (and I never want it to) just by bumping up against my body or some other inadvertent cause. Then when I try to quickly adjust aperture in manual mode, it won't let me until I push the switch back where I ALWAYS want it to be anyway.

If they move the on/off switch, that's a + to me.

why? because of the flash? D700 has one, looks to be similar size.

The ergonomics from the 7D badge and the top-plate images seem to point to the new camera adopting the 1D-series design than any xxD or 5D type despite the built-in flash.

why's that? The top plate is almost a clone of the 5Dii. Add the m-fn button and the on/off switch, but otherwise yeah. The pop up would also be new to the 1 series.

I'm just hoping that something comes out to drop the resale value of the 5D MK2s, so I can pick one up for a steal

5D II won't drop in price for a while yet I think. The 5D original might, and the 50D may.

even on the 40D?
have you tried the 5Dii?

I used to have that issue with the 10D. The 1Dii a bit. But the 40D's switch was much better for me. The 5Dii hasn't shown this issue AT ALL though. But I would be against the move either though.

and I hope the 5Dii price doesn't drop, I hope to sell mine for the 7D if it's either of the options I'm imagining. :lol:

Same issue on all my bodies, yes. It's extremely frustrating. The 5D II switch is like the 40D.

D700 and 5DII both have a taller pentaprism box, not too mention the D700 is taller than the 5DII in general (note the tall box that sits between the flash "arms" on the D700). The leaked top plate looks very similar to a 50D.

to me, this upcoming "7D" seems to be a crop body as oppose to being a FF camera. look a the size of the mode dial, and the distance between the ergonomic grip and the ef mount, it just screams crop to me. i hope you can see what i am talking about

(maybe im just in denial considering i have a couple of EF-S lenses)

The only thing is, we don't know if this top plate belongs to a 7D or some other unknown camera.
