Well you have to consider that with the 7D you aren’t getting the all powerful FF sensor. FF demands a huge premium and since they are supposed to be jacking the price up quite a bit I expect they will be offering substantial improvements. Where do you have to go from 8fps? The Exec from Canon did say they would be taking the 7D into a whole new territory.

8fps -> 10fps

18MP -> 24MP

19 AF points -> 61 AF points

None of those are "new territory" IMHO.

I'm wondering if these qualify:

  • ISO Performance to get close to the 5D3
  • “Lots of video features”

It is the 70D that I don’t think has much future since I think most of the buyers for that type of camera would probably be better off with something like a 6D or its successor.

I don't know. Canon has nothing like the 18-55IS/55-250IS combo for full-frame that's anywhere within an order of magnitude of being as inexpensive.
