first let me say that I voted 5Diii in the poll. I own a 6D and honestly don't feel like I am missing anything. a lot of critique is made about the 6Ds auto focus system. personally I haven't had any issues with it. for my uses it has performed very well and I rarely get a missed focus. I have shot flying birds, etc and it does a very good job. the 6D has a few features that are better than the 5Diii. it has a newer sensor that performs better at low light. it also has built in wifi. I wasn't expecting to really need the wifi but it is really damn handy. its really nice to be able to pull the image onto my phone right there onsite and email it people. I have done this a number of times. the wifi enabled app is also really handy. its great for doing macro work as you can focus the camera from your phone/tablet and take the picture along with changing most of the settings. I have also used it for remote shooting of wildlife. I have set up my camera outside on a tripod close to a bird bath. from inside I was able to see what the camera saw, focus on the birds and get great shots.
none of this is available on the 5Diii.
Hmmmm... I like the idea of being able to focus and shoot remotely. Not sure how often I'd actually use it, but it'd probably be a lot more often than I'd use the video feature!
I picked up a wi-fi adaptor for my D5200 that allows me to shoot remotely as well as preview pictures on my tablet. Works pretty well, I don't use it much but for long exposure tripod shots it's a nice feature to have, mostly I use it to preview stuff while I'm on site so I can see it on a bigger screen and see if there's anything that I really should go back and try to reshoot before I leave. A lot of times it's too hard for me to see things like a missed focus point on the tiny LCD the camera has - not sure if the make a Canon equivalent for the wi-fi adaptor but I'm guessing they probably do.
