Actually one of my single biggest hopes, more than for more MP (although there really is no reason you can\'t get both), for the 5D3 is that they raise the low ISO DR 3 stops (2 stops at absolutely worst).
Sure for many shots it makes no difference but I keep coming across shots with super dramatic lighting that I took under conditions where there is no easy or even any way at all to get around low DR limitations.
I realllly hope they fix the low ISO banding and lower the general read noise a lot. It would be so nice to have files that you can work on, or better, than the ones from the Sony column ADC sensors!
For landscapes and general, sure more MP would be nice, panning around 40MP at 100% would be fun and cool and having a hyper PPI 13x19\" print would be awesome but a 300PPI vs a hyper PPI print makes less difference to the eye than 3 stops less DR when you need it.
For wildlife more MP matter more than DR, I think, for the most part though.
Hopefully they give us both, but if they did stick with the 1DX sensor I reallly hope they found a way to fix up the DR. They have made zero progress on that for a while and the Sony sensors have blow past them in ways that are very real. (6fps would be nice and at least 1D4 AF would be too. )
