And just for the record, the prosumer EOS-3 had 45 AF points back in 1998.[/quote]
Yep. And no other prosumer camera with similar capable AF followed ... until the 7D.
Many Canon users I know (me included a few years ago) have been (and some still are) waiting for a "3D". Most have switched to a 1D to get that AF (or a 7D lately), others (like me) have turned away. In fact, the lack of a powerful AF module in a prosumer camera was one of the main reasons that drove me away from Canon.
