I think the demand for an A7 type body amongst Canon users is being blown a bit out of proportion by this thread. That said, I do hope Canon produce a very well engineered EF mount mirrorless body with at least 30mp, 14 stop of DR, superb AF, an OVF (actually scrap the OVF, it would be too awkward) for under $2k to fill this medium sized hole they\'ve left. If they see the business case for it they will. If not it\'s a free market. Some manufacturers have allowed engineers to drive things and they\'ve gone bust, but I agree letting the MBA types dominate and possibly be holding back progress is not good, if that\'s what\'s occurring at Canon. For all we know they have have something in development and will unveil it in their own sweet time.
It\'s not the body type that\'s in demand, it\'s the sensor! The thing that\'s special about a FF mirrorless body in the context of this thread is that it allows EF lenses to be used on it.
For my shooting, I wouldn\'t care very much about Canon developing a FF mirrorless body because at this point, the only advantage of using a Canon body for me would be the fact that I don\'t have to use adapters for my EF lenses. On a Canon mirrorless, you\'d need an adapter, same as on the Sony.
If Canon comes out with a 45mp, high DR wunderkam at some point in the future I might be interested in it (though at the risk of engaging in speculation, I think the price might will hard to swallow). But since the Sony exists right now, I don\'t see the need to wait around to see what Canon will do.
