Canon just released their new flagship DSLR.

I'm surprised that it "only" has 18 megapixels when the 5D MkII which isn't their flagship model had 21. I find it odd that they took a step back on their flagship model in regards to image resolution. That being said, this should be an awesome performer in low light. I'm curious what Nikon has to retaliate.
