Although if you look at current cameras and how high ISO behaves (and various papers on sensors) making it 12MP instead of say 20MP will very likely have a vanishingly small impact on improving high ISO while noticeably reducing reach for wildlife/sports (which the 7 series appears to have been designed for) so I don\'t see the point. All you did is take away reach to gain like maybe 1/4th, with luck, of a stop at high ISO or something? It wouldn\'t match a FF for non-reach limited high ISO and it wouldn\'t have nearly as much extra reach so all it would then have in spades over a 5D3 is the 12fps.
(although some sports guys do hate dealing with large file sizes and maybe are fine with 12MP and a 400 2.8 instead of a 300 2.8 and such, I guess)

As you see with current cameras making it 12MP instead of say 20MP will have a vanishingly small impact on improving high ISO while noticeably reducing reach for wildlife/sports (which the 7 series appears to have been designed for).
