Canon EOS 6D Specs Leaked?

Folks, it's been called a 'consumer' level body for good reason. It's for people who want to move up to a FF from a Rebel, and already have a few lenses, but don't have the coin for a 5dmkIII.
Get your 5DmkII while you can. You won't be disappointed. With this new camera, you might very well be.

Cheap, economy cameras are always a big disappointment to people who need something better. And high end, expensive cameras are always a big disappointment to people who want something cheaper. So every new camera is a big disappointment to someone. If it's not designed for their specific needs and budget, then it's a big disappointment. There is no way to please everyone. That's why they make some ten DLSR models — each of them is not a big disappointment to someone.Canon-F1 said:

The 5D2 has always been noted for it's IQ and the same goes for the new 5D3 which has a pixel pitch of 6.25 microns. Based on this 6D spec, the new 20MP FF sensor would have slightly larger pixels with a pixel pitch of around 6.6 microns...
....so if the IQ was 'out of this world' then perhaps Rebel-users would be prepared to part with 2 grand for a body like this??

Personally, I would LOVE a:
I wouldn't mind if it had onboard popup flash.
I don't care how many focus points it has, as long as they're fast and accurate.
Pivoting flip screen is another don't-care state, as long as it gives good chimp.

Highly suspicous.
It would seem like this spec would have at most a xxD tag, maybe Rebel tag. And the rumors have all been about the 6D. So I guess we've conditioned ourselves to expect an entry level to the PRO line, in FF. This would be something else entirely. Maybe the 70D? Viewed in that light, it wouldn't be as bad.
The free accessories (GPS, Wifi) sound too good to be true. The new sensor sounds fishy. That seems like a lot of R&D for not much difference. I like the ISO range if its pretty clean up to 12800. The AF system sounds like next gen rebel or xxD maybe? And just because one of the points is a cross type 2.8 point, that doesn't mean the rest aren't the older type cross sensors.

Don't think so... "Rebel-Users" mostly upgrade to something 'bout $900-1500 and I can't see them spending $1999 + Lenses (since most own EF-S-lenses anyway).DB said:
The specs also look suspicious to me:
- Why develop a new Sensor when Canon has three different FF-Sensors available?
- Why a new 11 Point AF and not the 19 Point AF of the 7D?
- Why only 1/4000 when even the 60D offers 1/8000?
- Why only 1/180 when even a 650D offers 1/200 and the 60D offers 1/250?
- What is an "EOS" Body? One similar to the body of the EOS 650D or one similar to the EOS 1Dx?
I wouldn't trust this source...

Looks fake... If this is true... Why the heck does Canon spend so much time figuring out ways to cripple their products instead of going and reworking their sensors...

Looks a bit fake, but in some ways makes sense. If Canon made the specs stronger, most of us would expect a price greater than the D600. Maybe the somewhat weaker specs were deliberate so they could price it lower.
As for the SD slot, I'm guessing this is geared more towards Rebel/60D owners looking to move up to FF cheaper than a 5DmkIII, so they've got SD cards already. They won't have to worry about buying a new body PLUS relatively expensive CF cards.
I wonder if the new sensor was so that they could address banding and/or DR in some way. And I'm curious about AFMA, which would be nice.

You are both incorrect. By the rumored specs I see, I would say more like 5D Mark 1.75

Canon needs to develop a new sensor with better IQ + DR + ISO noise performance, but cannot use the 1DX or 5D3 sensor wth higher MP count cos' that might tempt others not to buy those FF bodies (marginal buyers)
An 11 point AF system is an upgrade from the 9-point AF found on Rebel series bodies
The new Nikon D600 is only 1/4000s max shutter speed, so Canon are matching that spec
And as regards max flash shutter speed sync, well perhaps Canon wants users to shell out for the new 430EX II replacement that is coming soon so that they can get HSS that way, so then 1/x sync becomes totally irrelevant
Finally, an EOS body is anything that Canon Marketing want it to be, but you cannot deny that the tech world (inclusing DSLR) is moving smaller, plus CR commentators with gripped 5D3's and the tall-body 1D series cameras often complain about camera weight (lugging body+telephoto lenses around). Also Canon has introduced the EOS-M with an APS-C sized sensor, so the trend is for smaller bodies across the board.
