Is the product life cycle of the EOS 7D coming to an end? Canon has reduced the suggested retail price from S$2,599 to $2,399 recently. This translated to a retail price of $2,120 with GST. Coupled with current freebies of an extra original battery LP-E6 worths $125 and a tripod T4-3510 worths $88, the actual price of the EOS 7D has gone below sub-2k. I wonder what would be the replacement model like given that EOS 7D is quite a solid camera with 100% viewfinder coverage, Full HD video recording, 8fps. Fo those who are eyeing this camera, it may be a good opportunity to grap one now. With Sony launching Alpha 65 and 77, and Nikon is still unknown yet, Canon has to do something about new models real soon. Everyone is talking about the replacement model for EOS 5D mk II, and not the mid-range models. We shall see the answer soon...

Went out recently asking the price for this model. Guess you're right Kelvin, one shop offered me $2112 & PWP Batt Grip for $121 and another offered me $2100 & PWP Batt Grip for $139. Very tempting especially when one is eyeing for this model for long time... If it's a replacement for 5D mk II, would it be a lot more better or just a little bit of extra features like what happened to 550D & 600D? Well...we shall see the answer soon...

It may be a good time for those who are eyeing the EOS 7D. The replacement for EOS 5D mk II may be due early next year. I suspect higher MP, slightly higher fps, etc. But I do not foresee any quantum leap from existing model.
