Side note I would have bet the farm on a price increase over the original 7D. This hits a pretty sweet spot considering the tech inside of it. Just that for most shooters, i would have a hard to recommending it over a 6D. I'd love a mark 2 though, i prefer shooting with a 5d3/7d over 2x 5d3 just for the flexibility.
I'm extremely pleased that the price is the same as in 2009. I'll probably pre-order later today.

As to whether I'd recommend it over the 6D, it depends on the usage. For sport and wildlife, the 6D will be a clunker, missing shots right and left. If the 7D2's AF matches the 5D3, it'll be wonderful for fast action usage. The extra pixel density, combined with improved high-ISO performance is going to give the 1D X a run for its money in certain circumstances.
