A new rebel is coming. How will it be better than the last?

It will never happen

This discussion occurs every time every time a new Rebel is introduced. The problem is that the the Rebel is an entry level DSLR. Most people who buy them have no clue about how to operate a DSLR and most will never take the time to fully appreciate a fraction of what their camera can do. Putting MFA  on a beginner camera is a recipe for disaster. Tech service would be overwhelmed.

I understand that this stereotype does not apply to you or Technic and that is another issue. You and Technic are NOT a beginners. Canon does not want to sell a another beginner camera to  either of you!!! They want to sell you something higher-end.

There will always be an upgrade path and enthusiasts such as yourself can move to an xxD or xD camera. They are  heavier, But the lens I use these days on my 5D and 7D are a large portion of the weight of the camera. The most common crop-frame  walk-around lens upgrades are the 15-85 mm and the 17-55 mm F2.8. The change from the kit lens to one of these lenses will make the camera heavier than a change to a 70D body. The pro quality mirror-less cameras represent the alternative upgrade path for someone who wants light weight.
