....the most focus points of any camera on the market (79)

What? I have problems dealing with 1.....

12fps continuous shooting with autofocus (up to 60 JPEGs)
79 point AF module with 15 cross-type AF points; covers 40% of frame
Increased control over AF behavior
1080p60 movies with autofocus
2.4M dot OLED viewfinder

Auto ISO customization
Optional, profile-based correction of vignetting, chromatic aberrations and geometric distortion

Also interesting to note that they have actually removed one of the gimmicks, being the GPS.

I have to admit I am curious - I had kinda decided to go full frame, but if this has good IQ and is not a bank balance breaker, I will have to consider it as a replacement for my ageing A700.
