Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM
Digicame-info (translated) just posted the leaked image and specs of the upcoming Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 pancake lens

– First EF-S pancake lens
– 38.4 mm equivalent
– High-precision glass molded aspherical lens
– Full-time manual focus
– Minimum focusing distance 0.16m
– Maximum magnification is 0.27x

Very good specs. This is a light-weighted, small lens with an amazing minimum focusing distance. And it is equivalent to a highly popular focal length.

More Tidbits About The EOS 7D Mark II Specifications (not same sensor as 70D, pro build quality, more on AF, €1800)

EOS 7D Mark II Specifications
The glorious Canon EOS 7D

I got some new EOS 7D Mark II specifications (thanks) that contradict the specs I got previously.

These specs are largely identical with the spec list posted by CR, with a few differences. The source told me that:

  • The EOS 7D Mark II sports a 20.2 MP sensor but it is not the same sensor as featured on the EOS 70D
  • The AF has 65 points but only 32 are cross-type. Center point is dual cross. f/8 on center point
  • The EOS 7D Mark II has a “pro build quality” (whatever this means in detail)
  • Price in EU will be €1800 (that could mean something around $1,990 in the US)

Moreover, the source told me that the EOS 7D Mark II has already been presented to resellers.

This is the spec list posted at CR:

  • Kit lenses: 18-135 IS STM and 15-85 IS (no STM)
  • CF, UDMA mode 7 + SD, UHS-I
  • GPS is in the camera
  • No WiFi
  • Fixed LCD, with no touch function.
  • 20.2MP APS-C Sensor
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF
  • Dual DIGIC 6 Processors
  • 65 AF points “All Cross-type”. Dual cross on the center point.
  • f/8 on center point at least, could be on more points.
  • 10fps
  • ISO 100-12800, ISO Boost mode 25600 and 51200
  • 1080p/720p both get 60fps
  • Servo AF for video shooting.
  • Anti-flicker mode, eliminates flickers under flickering lights (e.g. fluorescent lamps).
  • Spot metering size 1.8%
  • Built-in flash
  • Mic and headphones connectors
  • Can sync time between 7D II cameras.
  • Lens electronic MF
  • About 100% coverage OVF
  • New Battery – LP-E6N
  • New Battery Grip BG-E16

 

Will The Canon EOS 7D Mark II Feature A Full-Frame Sensor? (GPS seems confirmed, UPDATE: FF was typo))

EOS 7D Mark II
The glorious Canon EOS 7D – to be replaced soon

Update: Mr. Klostermann, the author of the cited book, contacted me and explained it was just a placeholder text. The text has now been corrected and there is no longer any mention of “full-frame”.

Original post:
Thanks to readers, I learned about 2 more EOS 7D Mark II books (after this book) that showed up at retailers. There is the “Canon 7D Mk II Experience” and a French book about the 7D Mark II. The latter looking more like a placeholder, the former having a curious description.

The description of “Canon 7D Mk II Experience” (by D.J. Klostermann) starts with the following sentence: “Take control of your Canon 7D Mark II full frame dSLR and the images you create“. Just a typo of the editor/author or a serious hint that the Canon EOS 7D Mark II will sport a full-frame sensor??

Moreover, the author explicitly points to an “introduction to the set-up and use of the camera’s built-in GPS, to geotag and map your photos“. GPS appears to be definitely on board of the EOS 7D Mark II, since it was already rumored previously.

You Can Already Order A Book About The Canon EOS 7D Mark II

Canon EOS 7D Mark II

It’s already possible to order a book on the Canon EOS 7D Mark II. The book is scheduled to be available for 9/27. The text in the pic above says:

  • Canon EOS 7D Mark2 Owner BOOK
  • Publisher: Motor Magazine
  • Release Date: September 27, 2014
  • Deadline: September 27, 2014
  • Planned tax Price: 1,650 yen

It appears the successor of the EOS 7D will eventually have the moniker “Mark II”. Let’s hope for some specs to appear soon.
