I'm considering a dual system as well, but that might be Sony body because I also want small/light and a tilt screen. Nikon doesn't have that on the pro models (apart from that, the D810 looks very nice). If the A7 didn't have some 'issues' I would already have purchased one. Maybe a next generation A7, if Canon doesn't deliver at Photokina.
Those who love action / fast AF, high framerates, low light etc. already have all they need from Canon; several bodies to chose from like 5D3, 1DX. But landscape, architecture etc. photographers have been left in the cold for years when it comes to bodies, compared to what is available on other platforms. IMHO they need a 6D II with 30-40MP, better DR (and relatively low framerate to keep weight/price down). If it has a tilt screen and can work in APS-C crop mode even better. Maybe there is room for a High MP 1D series brick as well, but I won't buy it ;-) For this type of photography super tough, fast and heavy bodies are usually not required or even downright inconvenient....Show more →
The A7 "issues" are pretty minor but well blown out of proportion in the internet. The most severe issue is the drawback in AF with other than Sony/Zeiss lenses with the A7 series. Otherwise I personally consider my A7R the best digital camera I have ever used so far. But that's because AF is not of big importance for my kind of shooting.
I wouldn't expect too much from Canon at Photokina. I am sure they will announce the 7D MkII but regarding FF sensor updates, we might not see something until some time in 2015. And it will come out in a 1D brick first anyway before it shows up in a 5D/6D series later.
