POLL: With what features would you consider the 6d?

[bakedcorn]

I have no cares in the world for any other feature other than a matured AF system - that's really what it comes down to IMHO.
It don't need to be as fancy as the 7D, but at least make 3 or 4 out of the 11 af points sensitive to 2.8 in both horizontal and vertical.

Is that too much to ask? :'(

Honestly RX100's built-in swiveling flash makes DSLR's pop-up flashes look extremely stupid and primitive.

It could also make DSLR's pop-up flashes look extremely clever because you'll want a "real" flash sooner or later :->

Yes, say that to Canon

When I first saw the EOS-M I really wondered how a portable camera could lack a built-in flash. Then I saw they were selling it in kit with the (AMAAAZING) EX90 and I understood.

I reckon that having a swiveling built-in flash would destroy the market of these toy flashguns. Again, so sad.

Again, so sad.

I'd expect a commercial enterprise to want to make money - so I'm ok with a little flash (or maybe even none) if I can add a real flash later on. Unfortunately, Canon will grant us no such option to upgrade the af module in the 6d to have cross-points. But maybe we can buy a firmware upgrade later on that enables 1/200 x-sync and 1/8000 shutter - it's certainly no hardware limitation...

No one expect companies to make no profits, but when they cut on essential and well-established features just to make you pay for the relative accessory, then to me it sounds a lot like a spite or an attempt to milk me like a cow.

See EOS-M's lack of flash, when every 100$ compact camera has one.

See Canon's refusal to put the 3 years old 7D's AF system into a brand new 2100$ FF camera.

See Canon's new, ridiculously-priced line of Speedlites.

This is the sort of things I'm talking about, because they are only arrogant and insulting.
