A few hours ago an image of the Canon 7d digital SLR was posted on dpReview. This is following a post on Canon Rumors reporting that the camera has been added to Best Buy’s product database.
There is plenty of speculation about where the 7d will fit in Canon’s line-up. Best Buy’s price gives no clues as it is exactly the same as the 5d II body. The rumoured kit version includes Canon’s relativity basic 28-135mm lens which is hardly suited to a camera costing thousands. All this speculation is putting my BS meter into overdrive!
