Having more than one usable/reliable AF point doesn\'t exactly constitiute an action camera! I\'m sure there are many portrait photographers who are sick of focusing and re-composing, for obvious reasons. A friend of mine has a 5Dmk2 and shoots a lot of children portraits. She\'s constantly bemoaning the fact she has to focus and recompose for many shots, grantly it\'s partly because the little rugrats don\'t sit still for very long and she has to refocus!
Nikon didnt seem to have a problem putting an excellent (51 point IIFC) AF system in the D700, so if Canon fail to at least put an AF system similar to the 7D in the 5Dmk3, well that would be, frankly pathetic.
As far resolution goes, if they stuck with 21mp, i\'m sure not too many people would complain, especially if ISO performance was impressive.
