I hope they use the same battery system as well.

It uses the same battery as the 5D Mark II. I'm pretty sure I saw that in one of the articles/reviews of the 7D. maybe dpreviews?

Thanks.

I just checked it at DPReview and you are correct.

This is good news for me.

My understanding is that it is the size of the individual pixels rather than size of the sensor that matters most (assuming a 1/3" sensor size or higher).

I don't think we'll really know until real DPs get their claws on this thing. And as many have said, the speed of the glass is going to be a big factor.

All that said, as a maker of penny dreadfuls, I sure hope it's close to the Mark II.
