Less than a week after arch-rival Nikon grabbed headlines with the D600, Canon responded with an announcement of its own price-conscious full frame DSLR, the EOS 6D. And just like that, a new market segment was born: the mid-range full frame DSLR. Canon camera battery was only a decade ago that full frame DSLR performance was limited to those with pockets deep enough to spend $7999 on the 11MP Canon EOS 1Ds. And while the barrier to entry has dropped considerably since then, for many potential buyers, the most-talked about feature of the EOS 6D may well be its price. It debuts at $1400 less than the company's standout EOS 5D Mark III.
And as is Canon's wont, they have opted for the allure of familiarity and Canon camera battery. The EOS 6D is perhaps best understood as a full frame version of the popular EOS 60D - indeed it's very similar in both control layout and dimensions. While slimmer front-to-back, and lighter than the Nikon D600, the 6D primarily seeks to distinguish itself on the spec sheet with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, a 'silent' shutter mechanism and, according to Canon, unprecedented low-light focusing sensitivity. Whether this combination will be enough to satisfy enthusiasts who'd appreciate the D600's distinctly higher spec'ed autofocus system, dual card slots and built-in flash remains to be seen.

I got the camera when it first came out. I'm coming from the 60d to now the 6d full frame camera and I have to say I love it. I have shot 2 weddings and also shot some music videos with it. I have to say shooting in low light is a dream with the camera. I still use my 60d as a back up but i dont use it much.
My results with the fast-moving horses were better. Testing AF is very subjective and an infinite number of AF circumstances are available. But fast-moving horses are a relatively common subject for me - and photographing them gives me a good subjective test of a camera and lens' AF capabilities.
The 6D did a good job tracking these animals with the center AF point working quite well. The peripheral AF points did not perform as well. Canon camera battery is also very good to use, but their results were not bad - I'm not disappointed.
While the 6D's AF system is capable of focusing in incredibly dark environments (you wedding photographers know exactly what this means), it does not have the overall performance of the 1D X/5D III's best-available-at-review-time 61pt AF system.
