I would like...
- the XXD (40D/50D/60D) 9-point AF all-cross type AF system (I dont want the 7D af system in there)
- interchangeable screens (i require the precision screen)
- better iso/noise performance
- better ergonomics adopted from the 7D
- multidirectional joystick (easier to pick the af point)
- no articulated screen please

what would you like to see.

I would like to see the focus points spread out across the frame better, they are so bunched up in the middle right now. Cross point all around would be great too, but I wouldn't argue with the 7D system.

I would love to see the articulated screen myself. There are many times I am in an odd position, especially low, when shooting landscapes where having a swivel screen would be great.

I don't care about MP, but I would like to see another stop of ISO performance gained.

The rest of the camera is great. Hopefully, it won't be too long before they announce/release the beast. :D

Just give me a 7D with an awesome full-frame sensor and supporting circuitry and I'll be happy.

The only thing I want in the M-III is being able to afford it before the mark 4 is out.

Mostly your stuff.

Take the current II, improve AF, ISO performance, speed (new Digic) and improve resolution and AQ as needed...

I'm already all saved up - just waiting for the opportunity to order. :)

I assume, because the new range of cameras now include a wireless commander, that the 5d MKIII will have the same
