Well, that's the equivalent of 40MP+ on an APSC sized sensor. I never went the 50D/ 60D/ 7D route after the 40D as I was put off by the noisy 18MP sensors. Still, it will be interesting to see detailed tests at DPR and elsewhere. I should add that as someone who virtually never uses LiveView or shoot video, the new PDAF developments would be wasted on me. I wish Canon had put more of its R&D effort into at least matching the noise performance of the Sony sensors in the new Nikon cameras.
