• New 24mm pancake lens (probably f/2.8)
• New PowerShot compact camera with 1″ sensor
• Canon EOS 7D Mark II DSLR camera, here are the rumored specifications:

• Kit lenses: 18-135 IS STM and 15-85 IS STM (This would be a new lens)
• CF, UDMA mode 7 + SD, UHS-I
• No GPS or WiFi
• Fixed LCD, with no touch function.
• 20.2MP “Fine Detail” CMOS  Sensor (I want more information on this)

• 10fps

• 1080p/720p both get 60fps
• Servo AF for video shooting.

• Spot metering size 1.8%
• Built-in flash with radio trigger function.
• Mic and headphones connectors
• Can sync time between 7D II cameras.
• Lens electronic MF
• About 100% coverage OVF
• We’re not 100% sure about GPS, we think the camera may actually have it.
• We mentioned radio triggering with the popup flash, but that may have been a mistake.
• “Fine Detail CMOS Sensor” is standard Canon language for Canon sensors.
• The camera has iTR (metering sensor-assisted servo tracking) just like the EOS-1D X
• The camera should be compatible with f/8 lenses at the center, and maybe more points.
