A few days ago, someone wrote that in a conversation with Canon officials, they said that they are listening to their customers, and for some reason, this time they believed they are. I hope that they are reading this blog-conversation because they will eventually understand that the 7D line is a unique creature, it is a pro APC camera, and as such, until they produce a mirror-less that can replace it, which I doubt, they need to continue with this line, at least one more model, as they will probably do with the 1DX.
As for switching: most people won't because it is, as said many times, the lenses are the big issue here, I have EF lenses going back to 1996, and therefore, building my line of lenses even since, I won't hurry to "sell them" to anyone. However, using an attempting EF-to-mirror-less converter will eventually be the option that will be chosen in the end. The fact I can use both EF and EFs lenses on the same converter and get a FF images, is just a bonus.
However, as said before, there is no current replacement in the R system to the 7D, and Canon will do well if they will not even try to, they need to focus on the 1Dx - R replacement, not an APC - R camera.
That is my opinion, as much as it worth.
