I'm with XRe, same reason why I held off on the Mark II. New features on the Mark III are definitely what it should be from the get go and a real upgrade from my 5 year old 1.6 crop with no video. Excited about the new AF system and 22mp is more than enough for my needs. Can't wait to see sample RAW images as most are coming out with JPEGs. I will definitely jump on one eventually.
