Looks like the floodgates have finally opened. At first it was only just a poster but then its now been followed up by a photo in which the box of the new Canon EOS 7D was snapped, it has revealed and now confirmed that the EOS 7D will sport an 18.0 megapixel sensor.

Here’s a quick quote of the rest of the expected specs…

…a 18MP sensor, dual DIGIC 4 processors, ISO from 100 to 6400 (and some crazy 12800 mode), a 3-inch LCD in addition to the 100% coverage viewfinder and of course HD video capabilities like its siblings…

There’s now even more info on what lens will be available, it looks like they will be a EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens and a longer EF-S 18-135m f/3.5-5.6 IS:
