<p>Rumors are flooding my inbox. Most of which I cannot substantiate to any degree. I figured it would be fun to post the most recent “roadmap” type of rumors.</p>
<p>Some of the below stuff has appeared on other rumor sites, as well as various blogs and tweets I’ve seen. I’ll give you my opinion on this stuff at the bottom.</p>
<p><strong>August 2011 7D Mark II</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>24 Mega pixel Full Frame</li>
<li>Dual Digic V</li>
<li>Will be a partial replacement for the discontinued 1D Mark IV</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>September 2011 1D Mark V</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>32 Mega pixel Full Frame</li>
<li>Dual Digic V</li>
<li>Will be a partial replacement for the discontinued 1D Mark IV and complete the merging of the 1D line</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>March 2012 5D Mark III</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>32 Mega pixel Full Frame</li>
<li>Digic V</li>
<li>New 11 point AF system</li>
<li>Will have the best video features of the EOS line</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>CR’s Take
</strong>7D Mark II being a fullframe camera and “partially” replacing the  1D Mark IV? Not likely for a couple of reasons.</p>
<ul>
<li>The model name “7D” would go against Canon’s naming strategy. I can’t see a Mark II of the current camera, overtaking the 5D Mark III in pricepoint and features. Name this camera “3D” and it makes sense. It was said the 70D would move to where the 7D current sits, an APS-C camera with lots of features above the Rebel. There could be some truth to that, the price difference between the 60D and T3i is tiny. I’m going to wager that any 7D direct replacement will remain an APS-C camera.</li>
<li>The other issue I see with this theory is folks that currently have a 7D with EF-S lenses. A lot of 7D buyers are very likely to have purchased a 10-22 and/or a 17-55 f/2.8 IS, not allowing them to bring their lenses to a Mark II version would be silly.</li>
</ul>
<p>The 1D/1Ds merger talk comes around a fair bit. I do believe it’s going to happen. When? Not sure.</p>
<p>5D Mark III not until 2012? There has been A LOT of talk in regards to the release of the 5D Mark III. Everything recently has said it will be announced next year. Next year is a Photokina year, although I’m not sure that influences Canon’s marketing. There is going to be a lot of talk about the camera, and none of the regulars that are correct have sent me any information.</p>
<p>One constant remains from the stream of stuff I’m receiving, there will be a shakeup in the lineup.</p>
