Yup neither will I, higer FPS, more AF points, etc. really don't mean much to me - I guess the AF points is nice to have and especially faster AF in low-light but not fps. What would intrigue me to upgrade would be better IQ, more dynamic range and expanded high ISO shooting (say ISO3200 as good as ISO1600 on my K10D for example). Otherwise a camera with the specs of the 40D, A700 or D300 with similar IQ to my K10D will not be a camera I desire except for maybe if high ISO is better. Some of those things but not all would be great for me - anything with 3-5fps, more AF points and faster AF, increased ISO range (ISO3200) and improved high ISO performance (though still retaining the detail) and possibly slightly improved DR with real 16-bit RAW

, I'll take 14-bit too but I am glad that they won't use the Sony CMOS - I'm not a huge fan of the outputs of CMOS sensors at base ISO's. By the way - nice write up Steve.
