unless you "absolutely, positively need to get one overnight", I'd wait to buy anything. The next six months should be an announcement flurry from all vendors - especially Canon. I wouldn't count on a 7Dmkiii, but an upscale R offering might be your best choice. A 5Dmkiv may see significant price reduction - or better availability on used market as folks "move up".

Time is on your side. It may make sense to hold off for now, since you have good working bodies at this time. Two possibilities could develop. 1.) Canon introduces a 7D MK III and/or 2.) Canon introduces additional bodies in the mirror-less lineup that fills the gap of the 7D series.

Just before the 5D Mk III came out, I got antsy to go to a full frame and brought a 5D MK II. It was a fine camera except not very good for BIF. If I had waited about 45 days, I would have had a much better full frame camera.

There is a firmware upgrade for the 7DII that will let it autofocus at f/8.

Right now I have a Canon Rebel T6s. I use it mainly for shooting wildlife and birds in my yard with it. It stays on my tripod 99% of the time. I get beautiful photos with it using my Canon 100-400 L II lens, even through windows. I also have a Canon 6DM2 full frame for other purposes. My question …. now that the 90D is out and is shooting 10 fps and has a new sensor and a touch screen, yada, yada, yada …. would anyone suggest upgrading to this or purchasing the 5-year-old 7DM2 since that camera is great for wildlife and shoots the same 10 fps, also the 65 focus points. If I use video, I'll use my full frame so that's not something I'm worried about. I have read that Canon will probably not be coming out with a 7DM3. The two cameras mentioned above are about the same price (90D new and 7DM2 refurbished right now). Just not sure the best way to go. Thanks for any info.

The markedly better sensor of the 90D makes this a no brainer .....
