But one "plus" for the 6D: The AF of the 5D Mark 3 worked perfect at macro in available light photography. Only the position of the button to stop down when you check the depth of the sharpness is a hoax.
I don't understand this part - what's better for macro, 5d3 or 6d? Imho the 5d3 should have the edge simply because you are more likely to be able to put the af point where you want which is a plus with a thin dof.
My guess it'll be the same price as the 6d then - just below $2000, but with the 7d2 advantage of better af and crop so you don't need super-tele primes. It really seems that Canon would like you to buy two camera bodies...
But lacks of speed in actionphotography. I was amazed to get each bird with the 7D or the 5D Mark 3. Only the 6D was often unable to follow the bird, most of the shots were unsharp. I often lost contact with the center AF-point.
You were successful in keeping track with single point af on the 7d or 5d3? In my experience (at least on the 60d) single-point af for tracking is bound to loose focus often, thus the main advantage of the 7d/5d3 are simply more af points.But lacks of speed in Our teachers say, that the 7D Mark 2 starts selling in the end of spring 2013 (in Germany and Austria). But it will be expensive.

7D is your best answer. There is no Mark II model in the near future, maybe never. Several threads keep popping up with the same question.
As a alternative, a good used 1D Mark III might be in the same price range, and is a big step up from the 7D. You can also buy used 5D Mark III's for a reasonable price. If you want a crop, a 1D Mark IV is the best crop body Canon has made.
Even a 5D Mark II is better all around, except for the better AF on surrounding AF points, so it might be limited for birds in flight
If in the USA, check the Canon refurb store. At 12 AM sunday, they have a additional 20% off.
Any camera better than a 7D is going to cost more, its just a matter of how much more.
As to noise, shoot in raw and use one of the better raw converters. They do a far better job now than they did three years ago. The new firmware for the 7D also updated the jpeg processing, so that is better as well.
Isn't obvious? Its intended to fall between the 7D and the 5D. Its a upgrade for the 60D users or even 7D owners. Its a low cost entry level FF.
Wealthy buyers will get a M9, they don't go for low end models.
Fair, but a number of 7D users choose it not because they can't afford FF, but because they want the best APS-C SLR they can buy:
1) They won't have to lug as large/expensive of a lens for a given target, or if they want their long glass to go 1.6x longer, it can.
2) They want a working AF system! The 7D AF is widely considered better than the 5D2 (and by extension, one would think this new 6D as well).
3) Is there another recent 8 FPS Canon DSLR under $2k? I'm not aware of one.
4) For some folks, the IQ that FF brings is secondary to just getting the shot.
Birders and sports guys are awfully fond of their 7D cameras from what I'm told. This shouldn't get them flipping over to FF, IMHO, as that may be the last thing they want to do.
Does Canon introduce only the 6D? No 7D Mk2?
What a pity.
6D with only 11 AF filds and an slow sensor....
I am looking for an new FAST camera.
Canon does it not have by now
A slow sensor? What does that mean?
