Does anyone know when the 7D mk ii is coming out? might be worth waiting for if it is a 24mp???

yes, when nikon will announce the D400 ... that means .. hmm ... never ? :)

FYI
Canon EOS 7D Mark II
Were told there is zero chance of a 7D Mark II in 2013. The camera is currently slated for release in the second half of 2014. Were told the final specifications of the camera are far from complete, but it will have the same 20.2mp sensor as the EOS 70D. As well as the Dual Pixel AF and built-in GPS. At present, it will not have wifi, though this could change for the final product.

This all seems very plausible. I would think Canon wants to see what kind of success they have with the revamped xxD line. The 70D looks like an APS-C winner spec wise, well have to wait and see how people feel about it in the real world.

The same person also said a new lower end camera would be released in the first half of 2014. Nothing was mentioned about the fabled big megapixel camera that Canon is working on

if there will be no D400 and no 70D-II then the message will be loud and clear : only full frames cameras will have pro specs from now on, no more D300s or 7Ds on DX/APS-C.

however, this is absolutely a non issue if you don't shoot sport or wildlife.

cameras like the D7100 are designed to be crippled about frame speed and frame buffer but for anything else they beat a D300s or a 7D hands down in any department.

so clearly both canon and nikon want to keep DX/APS-C in a position where they don't steal sales from the more expensive full frame models.

fine for me, but it's still marketing BS for most of us, DX is still great value for money, many many famous people still use DX and D300s in particular and make the frontpages of the best magazines and newspapers.

i mean people from Magnum, VII, Panos, Noor ... and their photos make history and will be used in history books, it's laughable so many pixel peepers keep ranting about the idea that 12MP is a joke or DX is for amateurs and bla bla bla.

besides, there's a cost/danger issue, i don't see anybody traveling in poor areas with a couple of new D4s + 6-7 F2.8 lenses but if you lose a couple D300s it's no big deal.

all the Noor guys use Nikon gear, mostly old D300/D300s/D3/D700, the latest pics from Syria by Yuri Kozyrev on TIME magazine were done with a D700 and the list goes on, take a look at the ones winning the World Press Photo awards, they're either canon 5Ds or nikons 12MP, nobody is on D800 or D3x or D4.
