How soon before we see a Canon DSLR with the sensor of the 5DMkII and the body of the 7D? This is what I am waiting for but I wonder if Canon will do it at the risk of hurting XD sales.

what exactly are you wanting from the 7D body? it's a hair heavier and has the new LCD tech, but otherwise, pretty similar.

I'd much rather have the 5DmkX with the 7D's AF =) not even, just a fraction of it, heh. In specific, I want the 5dmkI sensor, a dumbed down 7D AF, in the 5dmkII body. all at a sub $2k pricepoint.

I want the 7D's AF mainly...that new leveling display as well. Don't need/want video.

randomlinh: what you want is a D700...as do I...but then I always scratch my head when it comes to Nikon glass.

eh, teh D700 is heavier. and requires me to swap glass. I'd be switching for switching's sake. What I'd really want is the K7 body, the D700 sensor+AF, and a comibination of pentax pancakes and canon's fast primes. whoever makes this will get my money next =)
