Just been eyeing the 7D2 and it's features, really seems to be a mini 1DX... if I didn't have four X's I'd be more tempted... but I was looking at what they've put out regarding the flicker feature, am I missing why this might not be able to be something added in a firmware update to the X?
Can "Flicker" feature of 7D2 be a firmware update to the X?

Do you see any reason why it's not something that can be added via firmware? The sensor is in place, we've already seen "additions" to the firmware that are functional in nature... I understand Canon not wanting to add more to a previous body but not so much as a minor hint has been dropped about the X replacement and we've been talking about the 7D2 replacement for years.
I'll tell you right now, if it really does what it says, it's useful... VERY useful... will save a lot of photos from the delete button for a lot of my "lighting".

It'd be nice to have, but if it costs (say) a million in R&D then Canon can either put that effort into the 1Dx and give it way for free (zero profit), sell it (unlikely) or save it for the new pro body and get some of that cost back.
The way I see it such an upgrade is probably physically possible, but unlikely economically.
