Are people really expecting better than 7D AF in the next 5D? I would think that if it even gets the 7D\'s AF then that is doing fairly good considering where it\'s coming from.
Do they really want a D800 with Nikon\'s best AF and 36MP and 6fps (with grip in DX mode) to go up against a barely improved 5D2?
The last time the D700 lagged by a huge amount in MP and had no video, this time the competitor will have video and appears as if it may have as many or more, maybe even vastly more, MP so it won\'t easy like it was last time.
We don\'t know what the 5DII\'s replacement will be for sure. They could even continue selling the 5DII along with the new camera. On the other hand, if the latest speculation is correct for Canon and Nikon, the new D800 will appeal to the higher resolution crowd. Perhaps Canon didn\'t see this coming...There are a lot of photographers who enjoy shooting 35mm but want more resolution at the expense of lower fps and high iso.
Apparently Nikon is not buying the \"let\'s combine cameras\" idea and it could pay off.
They are pseudo combining though since it will have top action AF and at DX size 16MP (14MP Canon APS-C) at 6fps which isn\'t bad, so you get some reasonable action and reach there (5D2 APS-C is 8MP and 4fps) if you also lug the grip.
Unless of course the D800 sahes the D4 sensor and someone misread 16MP as 36MP
