Well, two years later we're gonna have 6Dm2 with multi-cross focus points.
The 6D will sell...a LOT. It's just like when the 7D was launched to give those moving up from a Rebel to the x0D series another option in 2009... "7D or 50D?? Hmmm...if I buy the 50D will I wish I'd bought the 7D in six months?"
The 6D Will sell a lot?? HAHAHAHA............ At the same Price you can have something very very very BETTER: Nikon D600! I always loved Canon.... In the 2012 a product like that with that features and with that price is VERY VERY RIDICULOUS. See what the D600 have more for the same price!
You can't compare what happen with 7D: it's ridicolous!!.....
How old are you? 15? Event shooters with multiple Canon bodies don't even look at Nikon and vice versa. What is so "very very very BETTER" about the D600 grasshopper? It is still a Nikon after all, no?
...and it's exactly like the 7D launch, 60D launch and even 1Dc launch... in that it's another option to choose from... having more choices is always "very very very BETTER".
I'm just surprised at how many people call foul at DXO without taking the effort to really analyze what the measurements/results show.
Funny how these threads emerge on this forum with each new Nikon review on DxO. As an interesting comparison Tech Radar, who is apparantly using the same DxO Analyzer software, recently posted a comparison of SNR and Dynamic Range for the 1DX, 5DIII, 1D4, D4 and D800. http://www.techradar.com/reviews/cameras-and-camcorders/cameras/digital-slrs-hybrids/canon-1dx-1091200/review/page:5#articleContent
While it does show an advantage for the Nikons on base ISO Dynamic Range, the Canons actually shows a better ability to retain it over the ISO range.
Anyway, without being a fanboy at all. I know that nikon cameras recently are very very good , DXO over rates them, how can the d3200 be as good as the 5dmark III...
Canon made it clear some time ago when the announced the big firmware upfrade for the 7D that a 7D Mark II was not coming soon... if ever. Nikon has also killed off the D400 with their D600.
Personally, I think a 7D Mark II is coming, but not this fall.
The 6D seems very much aligned with what the 5DII was when it came out - a class leading landscape and low light camera with great IQ but lacking the FPS and AF required for sports and action.
But for someone wanting an economical pathway out of APS-C, the 6D would be first choice over the excellent but now relatively ancient 5DII. The newer sensor, newer processor, no doubt improved AF array and other new features/incremental improvements etc make the 6D the clear choice.
Wow! Eleven focus points. That's progress.
The spec list reads pretty much as beige mush.
I doubt this camera exists.

I can't believe they had the gall to charge more than the Nikon D600. Canon's pricing is downright insulting lately.
Canon's pricing policy is pure MARKETING GENIUS....
........any xxD or xxxD owner will aspire to owning a 6D.... the higher initial entry price for the 6D will ensure (listen to the voices on CR over the last 12 hours as proof) that those serious amateur enthusiasts (incl. 7D owners) will now pony up the extra for a 5D3.....
.... meanwhile lots of budding videographers (look at the Canon 6D Press Release - it mentions 3 categories of user: PHOTOGRAPHERS, VIDEOGRAPHERS & CINEMATOGRAPHERS - 2 out of 3 are video users) will happily pay 2 grand for a FF DSLR video cam with low-light capability as well as compatibility with the new STM lenses
.... read the threads on this forum re. 6D, commentators have polarized into 2 distinct groups:
(1) those who have their credit cards out and cannot wait till October to get their hands on a 6D
&
(2) those who think its awful and the disappointment is enough to finally trigger their 5D3 purchase
As a 7D owner I wouldn't buy a 6D, but I'm glad that Canon has just protected the residual value of my 7D with their inane pricing strategy
According to Canon USA the image format of 6D is 35.8mm x 23.9mm, 5D2 is 36mm x 24mm.
I guess Canon just trim down the 5D2's sensor a bit. Maybe the AF is also modified from the 9 point AF in the 5D2. In this way, Canon is able to use these 4 years old parts to create a new body, reduce the overstocked 5D2 sensors and AF module and cut the cost a lot. Three birds with one stone.
+1LOL! Love the analogy. Yup, as much as these people moan they're not going to leave. Unfortunately
well they don´t spend MORE money either.. at least i will not buy this camera... i stick 2 more years to my 5D MK2 then.
Not quite correct, there is a noticeable difference sensor-wise between Canon's 18mp and that sony 16mp across the whole spectrum, more so in Pentax's implemenation.i cant see a huge difference in iq between d7000 and 7d sensor at high iso (2/3 of stop...maybe) and is AF, shutter lag, speed and so on the 7d is a better camera than d7000/d300s.
My biggest reluctance with getting a 7D is only the low light performance where it badly trails behind the likes of the D7000.
