Keith over at Northlight Images got some new information about the eagerly awaited Canon EOS 7D Mark II, the successor of the highly popular Canon EOS 7D [shoplink 337](price & specs)[/shoplink].

First of all, it appears that Canon will stick with a relatively “low” megapixel figure (21MP), and the body of the EOS 7D Mark II should be similar to the body of the EOS 7D (though it feels more rugged). And it should feature WiFi and GPS!. The murmured specs:

• 21MP APS C
• ISO 100-25600 (L: 50, H1 51200, H2 102400)
• 10fps
• Video ‘stills burst’ mode 30/60 fps
• Full HD video with manual control
• Single CF card slot
• 19 AF Points all cross
• On chip phase detect pixels for liveview and AF tracking
• 100% viewfinder
• Viewfinder LCD higher resolution than 7D
• 3.2″ LCD
• GPS, WiFi
• Alloy body with better weather sealing over 7D

Take everything with a grain of salt. The specs are said to be of a test camera, in other words: a prototype Canon is testing. However, the shape and other physical aspects are said to be unlikely to change.
