    6D on the way.

    Now I need to wait until Jan 2nd before it's in my hands. Amazon has a decent deal on them. They're $1999 and you get 6% back in store credit. That brings the final price to $1879.

    Nice ! So far I've had a lot of fun with the camera, even if I'm still waiting for some good weather to use it outside.

    I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures. I guess your cats will have to pose again soon.

    Congrats! I just got mine about 6 days ago. I love it.

    What did you have before? And what PP program do you use?

    I upgraded from crop body, and am enjoying the low-light ability. Amazing to shoot 3200 with better IQ than I used to get at 1600 or 800. As for PP, I was a little shocked to realize I had to upgrade from LR3 to LR4 (to let Adobe read the 6D's Camera RAW), but having jusdt done so, I really like the new version.
    Canon 6D, Canon EF 16-35 f/2.8 L III; Sigma 35mm f/1.4 "Art"; Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II, Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L IS Macro; Canon 24-105 f/4 L ; Canon EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS (unused nowadays), EF 85 f/1.8; Canon 1.4x TC Mk. 3; 3x Phottix Mitros+ flashes

    Thanks, Folks. Amazon just informed me it will be delivered this Friday. Our office is closed then, but I will be at work anyway. Maybe I'll get lucky and catch the UPS guy on his rounds.

    I currently shoot with a 7D, which I'll be keeping. But I too am looking forward to cleaner high ISO shots. With some careful exposure and some post processing, I can get usable 3200 ISO shots from the 7D, but I've seen usable shots at 12800 ISO from the 6D. I have Photoshop CS6.

    There are few things in life as cool as opening up a new camera box.

    I'm amazed how quiet this thing is compared to the 7D.

    No post worthy pics yet. Just some test shots in the office. But man, I need to learn to shoot all over again. The detail on a FF is awesome (no news to you FF users here, I'm sure) and this camera laughs at high ISO noise. No more missing available light shots because I can't get a decent SS at or below 3200 ISO. This is going to be fun.
