Has a whole full-frame, and now full-frame mirrorless line-up ahead of it in terms of 'prestige'.But, this also means that the tech that does trickle down will be exceptional in a camera of this stature. Certainly inheriting the 1DX II AF performance at least (by then it'll be a 3 year old camera), would still be a boon - especially with the f/8 multiple focus points thing that I believe the 7D II cannot do. There's also 4K, Dual-Pixel AF and touch screen tech to chuck in there too. A new APS-C sensor is probably due too. So the 7D III will be just fine.</blockquote>
