What I expect is Canon is leveraging the work they've done
to improve still capture to provide an additional feature.
My suspicion is that this feature comes at little additional
*cost* but may increase the *price* of the camera - thus
enhancing Canon's margin.

If you ignore the video capture capability of the 5D MkII,
how does it compare as a still camera?
