Canon's low price full frame camera

[Koala]

Rumored to debut at Photokina,
It seems Canon is following suit, and will be offering a full frame camera at a much reduced cost.
Initial specs seem to be
-21 megapixels
-Less AF points than 5D3
-Less weather sealing.

i am definitely curious about this one. I wonder if it will be better than 5D2. If it will use the same AF system as 5D3, bye-bye 5D2 for me... lol

this is getting crazy. And we got nothing for the Christmas period and now, new models coming out of no where! ha ha

photokina is in september, so I am thinking this would come out christmas...

I don't completely understand how the market works right now. They are pricing this at $1999, that's the price of 5D2... does that mean that they will be phasing out 5D2 soon?

Nikon is also rumored to be releasing a lower cost full frame camera at Photokina.

Just wondering..... what/when was the last pro-level crop sensor dSLR released from Canon or Nikon? Beginning to wonder about the future of crop sensors pro bodies.

[rhommel]

Well there is a rumor that canon will be releasing 7D mk ii, which is a crop sensor.

[Yankee Charles]

Hopefully it is a better rumor than the D400; Nikon's mythical D300 replacement.
