That 5dc or "classic" is absolute nonsense; why? Because it is at least for a while needlessly confusing for people when they first see it (e.g. did they mistype? do they actually mean 5d2 or just 5d?, etc..)
For heavens sakes, this isn't nursery school- the camera has a name. 5d. There isn't a 5dc, "classic" or whatever else you want to call it. Yes, I know there are "pet" names fort lenses etc., but usually smart people will specifically state what they're talking about before adding the pet name (e.g. 14-24, 24-70, 70-200 "holy trinity").
A lens that is exceptionally heavy or large can reasonably have a pet name but a freak'n 5d? Are you kidding me? Sheesh people. I didn't know what in the world people were talking about when I first saw 5dc and had to waste time going down the thread trying to figure out what in the world I had missed in the Canon lineup (obviously I'm not the only one).
Keep it simple. The camera has a name, and for the sake of being grown up... use it.
I think the 5d2 is better IQ wise over the 7d in most cases as someone already stated.

So what, people make small mistakes but you don't expect people to start renaming cars, cameras and whatever else on the planet just because a relative few people make a slip of the keyboard do you? Of course not. That would make people look like they were 12 instead of grownups.
