Looking forward to TDP review of 6D!

How so? What does it do for you? I understand it marks location in the EXIF, but what is the advantage in that for the average photog? I know where my shots were taken. I suppose you could use the geotagging data in the EXIF to store and sort images, but for most folks I don't think they get that fine grained. For instance, I have folders called London or Vegas and then they're broken down into Day One, Day Two, etc. Easy enough to do without geotagging. I can see where geotagging would be handy for posting to Google maps or some such thing, but otherwise I'm not too clear on what other advantages there are in using it.

Sorry to take so long to respond, DSL problems mean its sometimes difficult to upload images.

I originally got a GPS (Trekking type) when I started going bush, didn't want to get lost, very embarrassing to have to wait somebody to find you. I deliberately went for a GPS with a micro SD slot so that I could install maps and keep lots of tracks.

When you are using programs like GeoSetter, you have tracks showing exactly where, the path you took and exactly where the shot was taken. It could be in middle of nowhere or at the beach, it provides the image and the trip with a lot more context than you had before.

With a lot of the places I visit, I want to make return trips and the GPS gives you what you need to get back to a place where you shot a bird of paradise.

PS: I have no idea what type of information the 6D provides so I don't know if its possible to use it the way I do.

Looks like the review is there .

Just on the day I got my 6D. Woohoo ! I was even able to read the review before picking up the camera. I can't wait to use it.

TDP could be the first real review. There are no others out there yet.

This is the only one I've seen. Little on the silly side, but has some good information in there anyway.

Agreed. Kai is a bit obnoxious at times and his constant walking around bit drives me nuts, but there were some good points in that video. I was thinking 5D MkII for Xmas, but now I'm reconsidering and may spring for the 6D.

I was able to try out the new 6D at my local camera shop for a few minutes this evening. The only one they had was new in box and I felt a bit uncomfortable playing around too much with a camera someone will buy shortly so I didn't use it very long, but came away impressed.

The build quality seemed quite good. The body was sturdy and the buttons felt fine. Autofocus seemed snappy at least in the camera shop context. The full frame viewfinder speaks for itself. I tried a shot at ISO 12800 and it looked fine on the LCD. The body size and weight seemed roughly equivalent to the 60D I'm using today.

All in all between Bryan's ISO shots, resolution shots, and my hands on trial this evening I think I'm sold on the 60D. Given the precarious nature of the US economy at the moment I don't want to part with my cash just yet, but do expect to buy it in due time.
