Why do people insist on having dust sensor cleaning? Anyone who has actually used it says it's just a marketing gimmick and doesn't really work (except maybe the version Olympus uses). The new 5D will probably be 16mp like the 1DSMKII. If they fix the build quality and ergonomics it might be a tempting camera over the D300 otherwise it's still an amateur camera with excellent image quality. I'd say it likely won't be less than $3000 which is still a good price for what it is.
I disagree about the sensor cleaning. I have a 1D Mark III, and I shoot 3500+ frames on most Sundays between April and November, usually in very dusty conditions. The sensor cleaning is a very welcome addition, and it DOES work. I say this from experience, not speculation. And if it works, it's not just a marketing gimmick.
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.
