| Canon EOS-7D Mk II camera ? |
The big Photokina Show commences on September 16 in Cologne, Germany. Many companies have already started to announce their new products. It seems Canon's announcements will be pushed back late into the second week of this month. They are doing an extremely good job this time in shutting down many leaks and holding their cards very close to the chest. However, there is a EOS-7D Mk II book scheduled to come out on September 27. The publisher has indicated a list price of 1,650 Yen.
I have been a wildlife photographer using and following Canon equipment and trends for 25 years. Unless there is a complete breakdown in my analysis and sources, I am quite comfortable in the expectation of my recent post and the anticipated EOS-7D Mk II camera specs below. However, there are two big surprise and disappointment, if my information is correct.
First, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II lens may not be announced for Photokina. The best one can hope for is perhaps an official development news. Second, the EF 400mm f/4 DO IS II may be announced. The current version of these lenses are two of my favorite wildlife glass and they desperately need an upgrade. You can see my works taken with both lenses over the years on worldwide photo shoots on MichaelDanielHo.com. Check back often to get the latest development and news.
