Just ordered a 6D...

got mine a couple of days ago, massive upgrade from my 600D
The thing focuses like crazy in low light - I'm primarily a nightclub/social photographer
not a pixel peeper, but the IQ, even at 12800 easily fits my needs
Yet to test the GPS, however the wi-fi feature is pretty handy. Unlike the Eye-fi cards, when connected to a phone via wifi/app, doesn't transfer the photos automatically, instead you have to "pull" the photos from the camera - suits my needs better than the eye-fi method, but when connected to a computer will transfer everything.
Operation is very similar to working with the 60D, with a few elements of the 7D (I work in a camera store, so I get a chance to play with pretty much anything)
still haven't had it long enough to fully understand the way the camera work - but I'm quite happy with it

1. Can you say anything about the af *precision* yet, not just the speed? And if you've got a 5d3 handy it would be interesting to compare the af speed/precision (center point, single point af) to the 6d, because that's what'll matter most to many people.
2. Did you try the non-center af points and are they really as crappy as the specs predict?

the outside points have a little trouble in low light as predicted, no problem with the AF Assist on my flash turned on though, and no worries under normal lighting, roughly on par with the centre point of my 600D I had over my other shoulder
Don't have a 5D3 to compare other than in store, which won't really tell me much.
As for the portrait shoot I did the day I got the camera, accuracy was spot on when focusing on the eye, even with a non canon 70-200 2.8

It's a little bit better than 5D2 comparing both cameras but 5D3 and 1DX are miles above it as expected. Low-light focusing however is very good. It is enough for landscape and studio photographers. For sports, it will be on a rebel level.

I received a e-mail today, our local small camera shop has them in stock. He has not stocked FF bodies before, so this is a first.
If I had not jumped on the Adorama $2750 deal for my 5D MK III, I'd be very interested. I sold my 7D, and have a old 10D laying around as well as a 1G x and a G11, so I'm going to hold off and see what the new year brings before buying another new body.
