Agree with you 100% on this Technic. (Except for the part about xxD AF, as I do currently get extraordinary AF from my 70D). Not that there isn't any room for improvement there - but it's been getting better and better with every new body.

The AF system from the 70D would probably be fine for me assuming it works; I don't need 7D2 level AF. However, if a camera is expensive (like $2000-$4000) I also expect a good AF system with at least decent tracking capabilities etc., not with basically one good AF point like in the 6D.

My problem is that I have seen too many posts of people who have AF problems with 70D, including several experienced users and some of it sounds like the same problems I'm seeing with my old Rebel, and I don't want to repeat that experience. Btw, there are quite some complaints about 7D2 AF as well, so maybe these AF systems are getting too complicated to setup, or too sensitive to manufacturing tolerances or environmental factors, or maybe expectations for PD-AF are simply becoming too high because of higher resolution sensors
