6D Announced (sort of)

Ok, I can't cancel my 1Ds mk2 before they ship. They've shipped it! Atleast that will give me a few days to figure out if I'm shipping it back.

Adorama had/has the 5dIII at $2,750 on flea bay - yep bought it. Glad I did. for incremental $650 comparing the 6d to 5dIII doesn't seem like much of a comparison?

AF differential is more than enough, not counting the myriad of other things the 5dIII does that the 6d simply doesn't - wifi and GPS is not that interesting to me.

I will stick by my thought that Canon should have dropped the price on the 5dIII a bit (Adorama sort of did this) say $2,500 and come out w/ a 3d with uber pixel count.

I think Adorama set the new price point for the 5dIII - the 6d becomes interesting when? I am sure that the 5dII at $1,400 seems to be a great offering if not discontinued it will still be hanging about, $600 to get the features of the 6d, then 600 to to the 5dIII. Seems like a 1/2 step.

These are my two pennies.
