- First Prosumer dSLR with dual card slots from Canon.
- Camera will NOT be full frame, but no crop given.
- Video features will best the 5D Mark II.
- Better AF as compared to the 50D & 5D Mark II.
- Noise Control is better than 50D and arguably better than the 5D Mark II.
- Very similar pixel density to the 5D Mark II.
