Canon announced a brand new 7D from it’s D series with brand new APS-C size sensor. 7D will fill in the gap between the 50D and 5D… it seems like they couldn’t wait until Photokina 2009 or it’s just another marketing trick to be ahead of their competitors? Who knows. One thing is for sure, it was just about time!
