Thanks Peter.
Not that we didn’t know Canon will announce the Canon EOS 7D Mark III soon.
B&H Photo lists the Canon EOS 7D Mark II body only option as discontinued. First signs were already visible in April 2018.
Yes, it is a sign the Canon EOS 7D Mark III is coming (all rumors). The next announcement date candidate is ahead of Photokina 2019 (in May 2019), so it would be Q1 2019. We give it a 50% reliability at the time of writing. So far very little has leaked about the EOS 7D Mark III. All we know comes from leaked data from wireless certification authorities.
I wonder if the Canon EOS 7D Mark III will eventually have a tiltable display. There will also be an obvious increase in sensor resolution. What else can we expect?
Stay tuned, there is more to come…

Photography Blog posted their in-depth Canon EOS R review, complete with full-size sample images (JPG and raw, downloadable), videos and more information. The review is not without criticism.
Excerpts from the conclusion:
[…] the lack of IBIS on the Canon EOS R puts it at a distinct disadvantage, as does the rather curtailed 4K video mode and questionable design decisions, including the lack of an AF joystick, single card slot, curious M-Fn bar and lack of a shooting mode dial.The new RF lenses are the real star of the show, especially the 50mm f/1.2 and 24-70mm f/2. They may be big, but they’re also fast, faster than any of their rivals, DSLR or otherwise. And they also show where Canon wants to take its new mirrorless system, aiming for quality at the expense of compactness.
Ultimately the Canon EOS R isn’t as DSLR-like as the Nikon Z7 and isn’t as well-specced as the Sony A7 III, but it’s definitely good enough to satisfy current Canon owners and newbies alike, and therefore to stem the recent flow of Canon’s prosumer base to Sony. Read the review…
We have serious hints that the next model in the EOS R series will sport a high resolution sensor. An interview with Canon execs also points in this direction.
The Canon EOS R starts shipping tomorrow, time to place your order :-)

French site Lens Numériques had an interview with Mr. Mineo Uchida, Mr. Masato Seita and Mr. Shingo Hayakawa, the people in charge of the development of the Canon EOS R.
The interview touched many points, not last the L-Alliance. However, there is one point in the interview where Canon’s execs clearly let you understand that a more pro-oriented model is on their schedule.
Please note the excerpts below have been machine translated from French (emphasis mine).
Answer by Mr. Seita: You know, the EOS R is just the first case in a new range and we wanted to show the range of possibilities of our new mount with light optics, fast optics equipped with our new Nano technique USM with the 24-105mm f/4 and more affordable optics like the […] 35mm f/1.8 stabilized macro.
Our interpretation of the answer is that Canon is making RF mount lenses that are already designed for a higher resolution EOS R model. Last week we got a rumor about such a model, and this statement seems to confirm the rumor.
When asked about IBIS (In Camera Image Stabilisation), the reason for one card slot and cropped 4K video, Mr. Seita said:
Yes, we are aware that mechanical stabilization is an important demand from the users, but considering the positioning of the EOS R, we decided not to integrate the IBIS […] because our priority was compactness. The compactness we wanted to have was not compatible with such a system. But of course, in the future, we will be able to answer them. This is our first model. We still have room for improvement. For the memory location, it is a question of compactness and priority for the photographers covered by the EOS R. We believe that one location is enough. And for the video, it’s the same answer. We believe that the intended target will be satisfied with the proposed modes.
