Yup, Canon finally started to think like Nikon does, the pro-sumer bodies are not that much different than the the pro bodies. I am convinced now that the 7D (to be announced at Photokina) will be competing directly with the 1Ds MkIII. Better sell the MkIII now  before the announcement  .
Not unless the 5D2 (or whatever) has the same AF as my 1Ds3. Maybe I am alone in that thinking, but we are getting cameras that can shoot in increasingly darker situations, without improving the AF to match it. When I strap a 1.2 or 1.4 lens on my 40D it doesn't focus nearly as well as my 1Ds3, and I doubt the 50D (and by extension 5D2) would be any better.
Exactly. Canon still jealously withhold pro AF and real weather sealing for the 1-series. Until that (particularly the AF) changes, the gap between Canon's prosumer and pro bodies will continue to be significant. The 50D in no way demonstrates that Canon "finally started to think like Nikon does", which is unfortunate but acceptable considering that the XXD cameras are cheaper than the Nikon D300.
If the 40D->50D upgrade is any indication, the 5D replacement, whatever it's called and whatever its specs, will not pose any kind of threat to the 1DsIII except for customers who only wanted the 1DsIII for the resolution and not the AF, build, customizability, etc.

it also takes heavy PS beating just like 1ds2 file. It will kill most crop bodies.
