Some new information has appeared on the internet regarding the replacement of the Canon EOS 7D digital SLR with a new Mark II version sometime in the first half of 2014, according to CanonRumors.

Canon EOS 7D was released back in 2009 and features an 18Megapixel CMOS sensor, 8fps continuous shooting, 100% coverage viewfinder, HD video recording and 19 point autofocus system.

The new Canon EOS 7D Mark II is rumored to come with a new and improved autofocus system, which will be shared with a new EOS-1 camera body, as well as a new image sensor.

Other features like WiFi, GPS and a large LCD screen will also be present on the new Canon EOS 7D Mark II camera body.

While the EOS 7D was a semi-professional DSLR, the new model will be addressed to the pro APS-C camera users and will be priced around $2,000 / €1,490.
