7D2-- Its HERE!

1. Better ISO Performance (doesn't everyone want that for every camera?)
2. Dual card slots
3. Newer Features Found in 60D (articulating screen, dial+directional pad combined, higher res screen, audio gain control)

Deal Breaker for me would be...
Prohibitively high cost or SLOWER fps

Less MP=Less noise

See also Nikon D3s

Exactly. Look at the pixel density on the 1D (16mp on 1.3x) or the 5D. Lower density = less noise. A 12-15mp 1.6x sensor would be great IMO.

So the OP wants a D700 and a Sony voice recorder.

I approve this message....

easy:

Change the name of the 7D2 to 5DMKIII

Essentially.

And? I'm not having any problems with noise on my 7D but I often take advantage of the 18MP resolution.

Pretend some people prioritize ISO performance. And then imagine that those people represent the majority of dSLR consumers. ISO performance can always be better.

It may not be what YOU want, but it's a legitimate want.

In fact, if Canon will finally let go of this one company mexapixel war they might regain marketshare they lost since they started the fight.

Improved ISO performance is always welcome but there's no reason to give up resolution to get it.

That's exactly why you would give up resolution.

Misleading title is misleading.

You officially suck, OP

Wrong. Canon and Nikon have been decreasing noise while increasing resolution with every generation of camera.

Imagine how much they could decrease noise if they didn't increase density...

I recall a Canon engineer, shortly after the D3 announcement (which completely trounced the 1Ds III in noise performance despite its relative age), saying that they [Canon] were capable of releasing a camera with an order of magnitude better ISO performance than what was currently on the market (alluding to the D3) but the accountants would not let them. Canon was bent on going the MP route instead. Fast forward 4 years later and Canon's marketshare has tumbled drastically in every market segment, including long-held staples like sports and entry level. Canon has not held the ISO crown since 2007, where before Canon was lowlight king and then dominating every market. Today, Canon owns the MP spec in most catagories but no longer leads marketshare in any of them.

Canon needs to get back to what the people want - and that's to hold light-sucking black holes in little magnesium boxes capable of capturing images only a marsupial could see. And until we can do that, the dream of ridiculous gigapixel cameras that very few want in the first place needs to be put on hold.

I'm going to agree with that. Comparing my t2i/7d to my old 1d2n ... absolutely no contest. What a difference 2-3 years can make.
