Well maybe, except we'd still need a FF version and crop-sensor version, at least for us bird and sports photographers. I wouldn't be surprised to see the AF scheme make it into the 5D, but I'm not so sure that 8 fps is possible with that FF sensor engine, at least without making the body larger to hold the computing power.

I'm really starting to think of the 5D2 as a light medium-format camera. When used with great lenses, the images remind me of my old medium-format film images, just way easier to manipulate. It'll do in a pinch for birds and action, that's just not its forte.
