Early Adopter Syndrome. 

[hmmm]

My attitude toward the 6D has turned around since this was was first announced.   I like what I'm seeing in the early sample pictures that have been coming out.   And I don't like the dust bunny issue of the D600.    Plus I got to try the D600 with Nikkor 70-300.  Impressions: the D600 viewfinder is dim (had it side by side with a 7D in the store) and the Nikkor 70-300 feels kind of clunky compared to the 70-300L.   

I'm sure the D600 is good, but just saying the spec sheet doesn't tell the whole story.

$600 for the 24-105mm kit lens.  Seems like a sweet deal.  Hasn't the 24-105mm been $800 kitted for years?  Currently at B&H the 24-105mm kit is $700 with 5D2, and $400(!) with 5D3, all these prices seem like a bargain compared to $1150 alone.

And yet we still haven't seen a real review...  what's up with that?

Fascinating... This or 5d II? ... ... ... May figure out soon...

More pessimistic after yesterday video tests announced, but at least more reviews and tests coming soon, that will help to decide.

I google "canon 6d review" every damn day in the last 2 months

It is a very good deal to buy the kit here. Even buying the kit and reselling the lens becomes a way to possibly save $200, assuming that the market isn't completely flooded - which it probably is. At any rate, I'm surprised Canon hasn't announced the 24-70 f/4 IS kit yet, or at least I haven't seen that officially announced. Seems important to try and get people to wait for that kit along with the additional cost from their perspective.

Hopefully it comes with duct tape included in the kit, in case of light leak…

Just placed an order on Adorama-- we'll see if they actually had any stock left by the time I ordered. (Got a notification that the item was on back-order-- is that typical for a pre-order, or is that indicative that I've missed boat on their initial shipment?)

No need to figure out.  Price is so close if you get both with 24-105L.  My hands are scratching now.  I have to keep telling myself to wait... wait...

1 month before real reviews sprout.
