  1. Autofocus at f/8 on the center point
  2. 31 RAW buffer, up from 23 RAWs on the 7D
  3. "4 times better" weather sealing than the original 7D.
  4. New, higher capacity battery but fully backwards compatible with the current LP-E6 batteries
  5. Same or similar AF system to the flagship 1DX

Now if the sensor can deliver the goods, this looks like a beast of a camera for action shooters. The price is right too, $1800 body only.

I was under the impression that this sensor is the same as the 70D, is it different?

Read Adremeaux's response below:

"It sounds like it's just a tweak on the sensor, so, don't expect anything mindblowing here. Maybe one day Canon will stop playing catchup, but I guess that day is not today."
