jeffa4444 said:Their are many differences between the 5dMKIII and the 6d its not just the AF. The build quality of the 6d is very good but not to the 5dMKIII level, the 5dMKIII has a shutter guarenteed for 150K shots as opposed to 100K so this camera even on those two criteria was built with pros in mind not amateurs which was the remit of the 6d.
The 6d has to give something up with such a big price difference and clearly it does so making comparisons is not really useful because their aimed at totally different users. I find the 6d a wonderful tool when traversing Dartmoor with a Lowpro rucksack full of gear and a tripod in hand that lighter weight than the 7d you really notice after a few hours and you really notice the iQ back home when editting shots.
Sounds to me like you don't have any trouble getting pro quality results from the 6D. Not saying the 6D was designed specifically for professionals, obviously...but frankly it just depends on what profession you're in. For all but sports and fashion photographers, the 6D works good to great. For wedding pros, it works great as a supplement to the 5D3. As the only DSLR at a wedding shoot, definitely not at a professional level. Thankfully I plan on never being a wedding pro!
