At least that will stop me from considering it an upgrade option, I'll just keep my 5D2 until something with significantly better IQ is released [by Canon].

And it does make me wonder why they didn't plan a 1DY that is identical to the 1DX but trades some FPS for more MPs (and gets rid of the AA filter).

Instead we get the 1DC with 4K video! But I'll leave the discussion of when more MPs are coming to CanonRumors ;-)

Although I just can't help but wonder about not offering an upgrade path to 5D2 owners, people who chose image quality above, well, AF and speed!

I'd like a higher IQ body, or a 100-400 and 16-35 with the same quality as the two newer 70-200 IS, but Canon let's me sit and wait instead of buy.

Oops, developed into more of a rant about Canon's product strategy than I intended, so I'll stop now ;-)
