whats going to be better?

[scoobert]

5D mk2 or 6D?
pricing should be about the same, and i want to go full frame.

The 6D will obviously be better, especially considering 5D Mark ii will be discontinued, and it doesn't have support for latest hardware, such as the 600 EX flash's group features,... etc.

The only question remain is the weather sealing for the 6D, which is still undetermined at this point. The only reason to go for 5D Mark ii would be if 6D is not sealed, and you're considering using it for pro or rugged use.

Needless question.

Basic Internet dogma provides the simple answer:

The product that does NOT exist is always far superior to the product that DOES exist.

Agree!
If you can wait for 6D, just wait. Otherwise, you should get 5D2 or 5D3.

Depends on if you're in a hurry or not. If you need it now you have no choice, if you can wait you do.

You should see specs of the 6D Mark II - this is something definitely worth to wait for!

CMOS, 36 x 24 mm
Bit Depth - 16bit
19MP
81 AF points
10fps
ISO Sensitivity Auto, 100-105000 (Extended Mode: 10-404800)

Price tag is $2500....I think you should wait

OK, some of us deserved that ;D

i am in no rush. my 7D serves me well, but i do want a full frame. i will most likely trade my current kit for the 6D kit.
then i can start utilizing good lenses to full potential.

May I ask why you wish to go full frame?

You mean this kit with EF 24-105 L IS Mark II or EF 24-400 L IS USM DODO? If the latter, then you don't need any additional lenses.

I guess DODO means: Difractive Optics for Digital Ornithology :

Yes, but only for those of extincted species

5DII should be quite a bit cheaper.

i would like the 1.4 50mm zeise (sp)
would also like a super wide without the fish eye.
EG
this was at 18MM on a hazy day with my 7D
just not wide enough

 

[EOBeav]

Get the 5DmkII. If they're holding the price down on a 6D, build quality will likely be the first compromise. If you plan on keeping your camera body for a few years, build quality becomes important.

MagicLantern!
One BIG reason for 5D2 to stay for a little while longer ;D

Indeed - or wait until the ml devs at least determine if ml will run on the 6d at all, or you may be in for a big disappointment (like the 7d). Magic Lantern is the one reason to stay w/ Canon for me.

As far it seems to be dependent on the digics amount: 1 digic - works, 2 digics - doesn't work.
