The negativity and whining on this site are unbelievable.
Anyone would think that you were being forced to buy Canon gear at gunpoint, and that every camera they produce should appeal to you personally and blow the 1dx spec out of the water but cost £500.
Honestly, this is a great site with an active forum, but the bitching and whining is enough to put anyone off!

personally I wouldn't be buying a rebel/xxxD however when you compare these Specs to the Competition they just seem so dated. new users won't always consider how good a camera is they look at the price and the headline specs, then make their decision, if they do investigate further and get as far as DXOMARK then we all know that both nikon cameras and lenses seem to get better scores on that site than their canon counterparts. Entry level cameras should be about getting new users using Canon.... not driving them towards the competition.
(Just in case anyone is wondering I'll still stick with Canon......... till the next round of disappointment anyway!!)

My first disappointment was quickly replaced with satisfaction. I'm Rebel T4i user and I want to upgrade. I was about to buy 6D when I saw rumors about new APS-C cameras coming. So I waited. If 70D is announced this week I may wait even longer before it is available and before some reviews come out. Now if it will not be announced I can happily buy 6D next month without waiting for miracle. I'm quite happy with its specs and I believe it will be nice companion to my Tamron 24-70 VC and 70-300L.

Life's never boring when you're insane
Looks like 2013 won't be the year I come back to Canon...still waiting on something actually NEW, something actually versatile enough to be considered professional. Besides, I don't understand why any Rebel users have upgraded from the T2i in the last few years, as far as I know it was the last of the line to win any awards and most definitely the last to change any "game" whatsoever.
Hard as you try, Canon, there's still a tiny yet unquenchable hope in my heart that you'll come up with something good again someday. As it stands, personally, it'll be a race between you and Pentax to see who can up the resolution and drop the AA filter in an APS-C camera first. Whoever it is will see me reinvest in the consumer DSLR market in a hurry and put away my medium format when I'm not on a paid job — or on a web-only or photojournalistic gig (hopefully it's soon, at 40 & 60MP my hard drives are filling up fast). We certainly don't need 60mp in a consumer camera, or even a full frame, but a filterless 20mp sounds about right; we are smart enough to use the moiré brush in Lightroom the rare times it's necessary.

two crap cameras to be announced on friday.
canon again dissapoints while new nikon cameras continue to have an wow effect.
I'm waiting to upgrade my Rebel XS as it's seriously limiting me in every aspect except for weight
The 7D isn't worth it for me because of the terrible ISO performance.
If Canon doesn't release a 70D or 7D2 that are really outstanding with close (but not as good) ISO performance as the 6D, 5D3 & 1DX and updated sensors i'll just have to invest into a 17-40L and 6D or move to the dark side.
Sure i'm whinning but myself & many others who are eager to upgrade their bodies are dissapointed to see 2 new camera's that were never even mentioned and don't look in any way amazing. I wouldn't upgrade from a Rebel XS to a T5i because I wouldn't consider it being a big "upgrade" .
Canon surely wants to aim for the starters that buy Rebels but there is just as much if not more market in the xxD or xD lines.
Fingers crossed.

Let's be fair... Canon released three major full frame upgrades in the past 12 month cycle...3 actually before the end of the year 2012...1DX, 5D3, and 6D....
So now they are releasing a few for the average consumer aka non-fanboys... come on now boys...seriously... How many bodies more can Canon release in quick succession? If you were them, wouldn't you want to pace yourself?
How can they possibly keep on releasing major updated bodies and lenses every two weeks because forum members expect something new to chew on and dissect? hmm?

I can't comment on the 6D, I don't own it...but the 1DX is a significant improvement over my 1DsIII. I did not own the 5D2, so can't comment on a direct comparison, but I am very happy with the 5D3, and folks who have upgraded from 5D2 seem to be overall happy.
I fail to see an overwhelming discontent among the users. Just my 2c.

there is on big fault in your post... it´s not about how many "new" models canon releases!
it´s about WHAT canon releases.
have i missed something?
those who complain, complain about image quality (sensors).
and canon has not improved IQ for a great percentage of users.
those who don´t shot at high ISO have no reason to upgrade to a new canon camera.
You need to relax. Keep in mind that the 1DX is the BEST camera of its class. The 5D M3 takes from the 1DX and has the BEST AF in its class.
You're complaining for low ISO IQ when low ISO wasn't the one that needed improvement, it was high ISO and Canon again is the BEST in that area. Relax a bit, seriously.
Oh plus the 6D has the BEST low light AF.....

you mean those who stick with the 5D MK3.
i have bought a 5D MK3 on amazon, tested it for a week, returned it.
it offered me not nearly enough for the money i had to invest.
i shoot sports too but the 7D is my weapon of choice for sport.
i saw no reason to buy the 5D MK3 and replace my 5D MK2 for landscape work.

well you don´t know what i want or need, so much is certain.
i don´t care about HIGH ISO.
when i look at the D800 and it´s LOW ISO performance i tell you that is where canon needs to improve. or do you love canons ugly shadow banding for example?
yeah well that´s open to discussion.
it may has the most sensitive central cross point. that´s pretty much it.
does not help shit when you want to track a subject in low light.
