 Hey guys, I'm Leo De Verge here in Cologne, Germany for Photokina 2012 and we're just getting to grips with one of the highlights of the show, the Canon EOS 6D. It doesn't really replace anything in Canon's lineup, it slots in between obviously the EOS 5D and the 7D. It takes the full-frame sensor from the 5D series to a brand new price point of $2,099 body only in the United States. That makes it the most affordable full-frame camera that Canon has produced so far. It's also the smallest and the lightest camera of that kind and it's pitted up against the Nikon D600 which was just introduced last week as well. Feature wise, it's very much like the Canon 6D and the 7D but features a new full-frame sensor. Compared to the 7D, Canon tells us that it has the same waterproofing, however it misses the integrated flash, something that the Nikon D600 has. Also the Nikon D600 is 39 point AF system, there's only an 11 point AF system here on the 6D with only one cross-type sensor there. There's only one SD card slot on the 6D whereas the Nikon has two and battery wise, you're looking at the exact same battery as you would get with a Canon EOS 7D. So in many ways, this is a clear upgrade from the Canon 7D, particularly because of the new full-frame sensor. And also the reason why there is no integrated flash is because this space here above the pentaprism is occupied by Wi-Fi radio and a GPS antenna. So both are integrated whereas if you want the Nikon route, you would need a separate Wi-Fi dongle over here on the side. Canon did make sure to remind us that although this camera has fewer autofocus points than its Nikon competitor, it is sensitive to a far lower light than Nikon. Nikon is minus one EV whereas Canon reaches all the way down to minus three EV. Also the native ISO range for the EOS 6D is 100 to 25,600 which is extensible from 50 to 102,000. Availability for the new Canon EOS 6D should be November or December of this year, which is a couple of months later than the Nikon alternative, but later than ever.
