This camera is called 5D Mk II and not 3D or 7D for a very good reason - it\'s just an upgrade, not a complete revamp or overall. If the specs don\'t appeal to you .... just be patient - I can guarantee you guys that Canon will release the next iteration of the 1D series which will have 45-point AF and maybe more, with 5-10 fps, etc, etc. .... and I can also guarantee you that the price will be higher than $2,700!

sRAW, bigger viewfinder coverage, Live view, weather sealing and Sensor cleaner are serious upgrades for me. The 1 fps isn\'t enough for me to ditch my 1.6x croped 40D for faster work. But I\'d rather have a 5D and a 5DII than tout 3 cameras.
I don\'t want 21mp of NR\'d mush. I only want 21mp of 5D like sharp quality or there\'s no point. If this camera can\'t deliver this then it\'s a serious mark against it.
What\'s the point of bigger images but with less detail?
Don\'t get me wrong, I am eagerly anticipating this camera too. I\'ve owned my current 5D for just under 3 years. But I don\'t see a lot of camera development, but a lot of headline electronic / firmware additions. For 5D upgrader\'s there\'s stuff to play with, but for picture\'s in the bag approach, the Nikon D700 is a strong contender. i still think Canon have dropped the ball with 3.9 fps vs the D700\'s 5fps. Canon could have made this camera 5 fps so easily. They could have dominated this segment again, by offfering MP and high FPS.
