anyone?
(for the uk amazon site anyway)
Just a word of warning. I don't think anyone should count on being able to choose between a new 6D and a new 5DII.
Once the 6D hits the shelves, expect the 5DII to disappear. At a minimum, all rebates and discounts on any remaining 5DIIs in dealers' stock will end and dealers will quit receiving any new shipments. Canon did a remarkable job of pulling the 580EXII and making it impossible to find. Expect the same with the 5DII.
Refurbished and used models will remain, but they could very well be selling for as much or more than new models are now going for.
It is not in Canon's best interests to allow consumers to choose between the 6D and a heavily discounted 5DII. By the time the 6D is available, your choices on the new market will be the 6D or the 5DIII.
How come Canon, and a lot of big companies never explain or answer any questions. Why make a new sensor for the 6D when everyone was hoping for the same 5DIII sensor? Why limit the video compression? etc. etc..
Are there good reasons or are they just protecting other lines and/or money, as everyone keeps on guessing.
McDonalds answered this one:
why don't the hamburgers you get, look like the photos?

4000€ in my wallet want to be spent...How can someone know? 6D is an imaginary camera for now. Although I guess Canon cannot tolerate postponing it for many months (D600 being the reason. Ins't competition nice?)
Does anybody know. if the AF of the 6D is FAST too, or just accurate at low light?
Are you starting from scratch?
In that case you could go for the kit 5DIII and 24-105 f/4L IS.
It is possible to get it in Europe for 4000 euros
Not true, i tried it on the Photokina there were 6 6D's to try, also here inteh Netherlands there are pro workshops where you can also try the 6D. And yes i know for sure it is there and yes i really had an 6D in y hands and played with it for almost one hour!
Just back from two weeks vacation and catching up with all the rumours.
It's comforting to see that nothing changes much here. Yet more complaints, moans and hysteria about another camera that hasn't seen the light of day yet (if it ever does). There isn't even a credible spec yet and already we have the usual suspects complaining that it's under-specified, or it's not exactly what they want.
You guys must all have crystal balls. Why don't you take a day off from griping and go take some photographs?
That's funny!
Welcome home.
What really sucks is they flaunt some of the features that should have EASILY been included on the 5D Mark III. I went out and bought that separate GPS since I do a lot of hiking for $279. They could have included the wireless feature as they do with the 6D
What do you want to see on a 7DII?
-PW
For me all it needs is at least an AF system with all 11 points being cross type or a 7D type AF system.
Dual CF/SD card slots would be brilliant, but I could live without it.
This is the exact camera I was hoping for, everything is pretty much perfect, it would be the perfect upgrade from my 60D. But the stupid AF system has put me off it so much. I may as well just save money and get a 5D Mark II.
So, to cut to the chase, the target demographic is the xxD/xxxD shooter who likes to take landscape/travel photos and/or shoot HD video. Undoubtedly these are the people that Canon Inc. is targeting with this new DSLR
Finally, as an additional boon to Canon, by pricing this new camera above two thousand dollars, they also achieve a 3rd objective - they've persuaded many other xD owners (5Dc/5D2/7D) who are considering upgrading their body to bite the bullet and pay up for a new 5D mark III.
Either way it's going to sell like hotcakes.
To whom, exactly?
n00bs, students, parents?
Just because somebody buys doesn't mean they don't know what they're doing. A body is only one piece in a whole ecosystem. The GPS and Wifi might be nice to have integrated and you can complain all you want about the specs but it's not really that bad. There's a couple things that would of been nice to have but I'm sure this camera will take some great pictures.
Well, I can say that Image 5 (Portrait at ISO 200) is a definite win. I rate it at 10/10.
if you rate that portrait at 10/10 how you rate this one (made with Nikon D600):

12 out of ten?
from the first samples available ( Canon 6D and Nikon D600 ) Nikon CLEARLY wins.
I am a Canon fun and use Canon gear from many years... but i must admit... in this days Nikon is better.
On a positive note, the presence of internal WiFi would probably compensate for the lack of an articulating screen. If Canon are smart, they would release a free software for PCs and mobile devices to enable full liveview control via a wireless connection.
