There may not be a 5D Mark II announcement but if Robert Westin is to be believed, Canon will announce new products in a pre-PMA release on Jan. 24, 2008. Expected cameras to be announced are the Canon 5D replacement, possibly to be called the 7D, and a 450D/Rebel XTi replacement. It is very possible that a Canon 7D may not be a full fledged 5D replacement, but more along the lines of a 14/16 megapixel full frame sensor in a Canon 40D type body, with a 5D Mark II coming later in the year. Insiders at Canon have already openly speculated on an affordable “5D-like” replacement, and a theoretical 7D would certainly fit the bill.
