Time waits for no DSLR, however, and now the first image of a purported 7D Mark II has emerged out of Japan alongside a set of specs.

The long-awaited update to Canon's EOS 7D DSLR features Dual DIGIC 6 processors and faster, more accurate autofocusing plus continuous shooting at up to 10 frames/second.

The Canon EOS 7D Mark II has a 20.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, 65-point phase-detect, plus Dual Pixel CMOS AF 10 fps bursts and video up to 1920x1080p60. _ Photo: Brian Klutch_.
