Canon can swap sensors at the drop of a hat.

The resolution of a preview body is almost meaningless.

They probably will stick with 24MP, but if all the Canon representatives (the only people Canon listens to) go up in arms about it Canon would have a new sensor in there by the end of the week.

I believe you are underestimating the complexities involved here.

A sensor and supporting electronics are designed and built as an integrated package.

There are data throughput issues, including thermal limitations, which mean that there is a negative correlation between resolution and frame rates.  If you want more resolution, you get slower output.

Canon cannot just pop a higher resolution sensor and get the same output speeds.
