Chit costs money these days. This camera is going to be $2000 within a matter of weeks, I suspect. I went to the Canon, Japan site and downloaded some large-ish JPEG files, and watched two videos shot entirely on the 6D, with some fine Canon lenses: 100-L macro, 50/1.2-L, 24-105 f/4 L IS USM, 70-200 2.8 Mark II, and so on...the video looked great! The inside of the old abandoned mine video looked great! The shots of the cute Asian model in the flowing white skirt, photographed in near-darkness by the roaring waterfall, with the wind blowing her skirt, and a lantern held in her hand--looked AWESOME!!!! This camera has an all-new. 20.2 megapixel full-frame sensor...with BIG pixel wells! This camera appears to have very solid imaging capabilities, in both stills and video. For $2k. I know, it's two thousand dollars. But cripes...these days even a Sigma 2.8 zoom lens is approaching that same price level. This is a FF camera, built upon, basically, a 60D-sized chassis and frame...three years ago, people would have been going ape$hit over this camera, at this price, with THIS kind of image quality. Just sayin...
Yes, the Nikon D600 has higher specifications at the identical price. But that's a Nikon. it might as well be an Oldsmobile, or a Dell computer...it has zero bearing on a Canon camera shooter. Go to the Canon site. Look at some sample images, done at night. Download the portrait samples. Look at the star shots. Watch the video of the woman in the forest. Buy the danged camera.
