49 point AF seems like overkill for anyone other than a sports 'tog IMO, who the 5D has never been aimed at.
OK so the 9 points of the 40D wouldn't be enough to cover a full frame, but I don't see the need for any more than about 20 or they just wont get used.

It'll be interesting to see what Canon come up with if this is indeed the long awaited 5D mk2. With a bit of luck it'll be a giant killer in a similar way that the 5D was in it's time and also how the 40D stacked up against the 1D3.
