    6D Announced (sort of)

    Edit, it's official: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/about_...01e0248065d8c4
    (but i can't change the title).
    Turns out there's no touchscreen (at least it wasn't mentioned in the press release, you'd think they would if there was one), but most of the rest of the specs look right.

    Well, it's the 17th for me, and it's being announced on the 17th.
    CR says Adorama accidentally let it get preordered yesterday.

    So, with 20MP sensor (completely new, so must be on a cheap process, I wonder how good it is?), 11pt AF with f/2.8 centre cross (is this any better than the 5D2?), 'weather sealed' as far as whatever that blanket statement means, 4.5fps, SD card (is this what's so 'entry-level' about it? or is my investment in CF getting nails in its coffin?), and Builtin Wifi+GPS (as to all the arguments in past bodies about how they "can't do it because of radio laws being different around the world', that seems to have gone).
    Is this better then the 5D2? Looks about the same to me, at least on the specs that count.

    So, let the speculation begin, as will the threads of "6D or 5D2?"

    An awful lot of electrons were terribly inconvenienced in the making of this post.
