Cool. This scaling of the two bodies is interesting:And you have your answer :

Relieved that it is priced "reasonably" at $2,200.
I think it will be very tempting to current canon users, especially with its 5655 AF points!
More doesn't mean its better. Its the overall tracking accuracy and speed that's far more important in my experience.
The old Nikon D300 had far more AF points than the Canon 7D. But the 7D handily trounced the D300 when all AF points were enabled both for accuracy and speed.
Anyway, for the longest (which I am still using by choice ) , my 5DMkII operates on 1 singular AF point even when I shoot sports.
Very true. But I haven't been using Canon for decades, so I can't really comment (My last Canon was EOS 5 - the film camera )
I did own a Nikon D800E for several years. I just couldn't get the AF tracking to work successfully. For AF tracking, I tend to believe that Canon should be superior.
For mirrorless, as the AF is using a different mechanism from DSLR, I suspect Sony still has an upper hand.
A big miss is lack of in-body image stabilizer. I was just shooting macros with my 180mm L and sure would have been nice to have the body add IS to it. Sony continues to lead here.

That would be fun trying to pick one out!
I'm so old school. My cameras are always set for a single point that I move around if I want or I just centre focus and half-press reframe. I think people just like all the red LEDs lighting up in patterns in the viewfinder.
