Photoshopped 7D Mark II
The EOS 70D starts shipping from September, 2013. According to Northlight image there would be no announcement for EOS 7D Mark II until the EOS 70D starts shipping.
But if there is a sign from Nikon side and the long rumored DSLR camera Nikon D400 announcement in September 2013 with Expeed 4 and new AF system happens then Canon may announce the EOS 7D Mark 2 in late 2013 to compete with Nikon.
If there is no sign of a D400 from Nikon, the EOS 7d replacement may not appear until early next year (2014).
