Oh, I see, Brooklyn … so - you're jumping the gun - huh?

Be lucky if it turns up before the Photokina at the Jacob Javits Center in NYC in October, though ...

And I'm waiting for the 7D Mk. III, OR the 90D - whichever comes first … but, I'm not counting on it!!!

The 7D MK III is due. It’s been a while

Yes, indeed, K … it's been 5 long years since the 7D Mk. II was introduced !!!!!

And the 80D was four years ago … so, they're both overdue ….

The wait for DSLR's may be another year since Canon has stated their dedication to MILC is a top priority.

I suggest people keep an open eye on the hotshoes. Seems Canon has removed the center pin on the SL3 virtually negating third party flashes. They did this with the T7 as well. That is until a third party finds the workaround. I find this disturbing as I use flash frequently.

Just noticed about the SL3, Haydon. It seems, with every step forward, there's another step, back - huh?

I'm sure Yongnuo, Bolt and others, are working on the problem, as we speak …

Apparently they pulled this same trick with the T7. That move is very brazen almost forcing customers to buy a Canon flash at 5x the price of a third party. The SX70 no longer has even a hotshoe. It has only an on board flash. The prior SX60/SX50 had it. To some that doesn't mean anything but I find that gimping and crippling. I'm big into artificial light. My next camera will be a MILC, likely a Sony. Rant over Chris. Apology to the original OP for the derailing.

Neither my Powershot SX-30 IS, nor my SX-40 HS - had a hot-shoe, so - Canon is simply reverting back to the original design. Not many folks who use this series, are likely to want to use ext. flashes, anyway ….

On the T7 - it's no great loss. There's a halfway decent built-in, isn't there? .. Where I'd really miss it, though, is on the 6D2 (if, I ever get that far!)

Rant all you want, Haydon …

Canon had the hotshoe on both the two previous versions. I still see the removal as unacceptable. I'm sure you are aware, bridge cameras work OK when they have lots of light. The images fall apart when the sensor is light starved. Adding light can benefit especially with indoor locations and provide desirable light when bouncing. I admit, there are few people that use dedicated speedlights on bridge cameras but these cameras work far better adding extra light when the light diminishes. Both the SX50 *I own one* and SX60 have very little latitude using post processing even when capturing RAW. Nailing the exposure without pushing values is always the best method.

To summarize, I just don't agree with taking away features. Canon has always been conservative with their marketing tier. Cannibalizing models has been a sin for them so when a feature is removed, it's often felt exponentially.

You seem to conveniently forget the upgrade from the EOS 50D to the EOS 60D … there was a huge outrage about THAT one. Plus, the T3 I have - was the last one which had the Auto Depth feature!!!!

Not with the Canon shooters I worked with (and myself), both with motor racing and 'scapers.

I'm not conveniently forgetting about anything Chris. That's an assumption on your part. I'm simply unaware of previous issues of other models in this case. This rant was encouaged of recent events and the interest I have in artificial light.

I'm naive to your reference Richard. Please point me to the relevance. A link will be appreciated.

Not a "internet" reference.
Just working with other shooters.
The "upgrade" from the Canon 50D (I owned a Canon 40D) was either a Canon 7D for the hobbyst sports shooters (for thse who didn'town 1D bodies) or a 6D (or even the 5Dxx series) for the 'scapers.
The 60D was regarded as a replacement for a failing 30D or 40D models, I went for a 70D when my 40D started showing signs of failing after very heavy use.
