Canon 7D successor [7D Mark II] may not appear soon, dc.watch (japanese magzine) interviewd Canon managing director Tian Rong, read the main points of the interview translated via google
- Last year was the Year of top reinforcement in each product category, the Prestige model. I believe that the technologies developed in the Prestige model per each genre, increasing the sophistication of the feature, this year, we will try to fall into the lower models.
- purely to pursue while maintaining high-quality and high-sensitivity performance EOS has, how far can be reduced. This is the theme of the first one of the first (EOS M). However, I think the future will continue to expand because variation in the mirror-less machine, various types of product will come out.
- (The successor to the EOS 7D that does not appear immediately) is per premonition. Although the development of the successor of course, it is “the product innovations put some kind.” Instead of that issue as a successor to the product that you spec up a little, it will be what has evolved towards a new area.However, it is not the story of the day so far.
As far as I can understand the Canon 7D successor (7D Mark II) is not coming at CP+ show, but sure we will see a major change in sensor and core specification, if you have better translation write us on comment box / or email us at contact[at]thenewcamera.com
