There is also a rumour that the new Sony CEO was taken to hospital with a ruptured hernia he acquired pi**ing himself laughing at the spec of the new 6D!
Plus Points:-
- Remote tethered Wi Fi
- FF
- Very impressive point and shoot camera
- Fast SD Cards
- In Built HDR
- Massive boost to the value of all our 7D's
Negative Points:-
- Lightweight 2/3 Mag body
- undersized body
- Too small VF - should be 100%
- Pathetically specified AF system - should have been the 5DMk III's
- No back-2nd wheel
- No Mirrorless technology
- Far too expensive
- No 1080p 50 or 60 fps
- No continuous AF in movie mode
- Too expensive for what it is
- No MFA
- Marketing disaster will drive people to look at Nikon and then all the smart ones will do a complete re-evaluation and go Sony [especially all those with EFS lenses - no I'm definitely not advocating EFS compatibility on a FF]
- WIll scare customer base by the lack of groundbreaking technology on the Sensor/AF front.
- Should have had some wireless radio flash system built in [no I didn't say a built in Flash]
- Shutter life reduced to 100,000 from say the 7D's 150,000 - has the rest of the build quality dropped.
- the chief designer must have taken a retirement bung from Sony!
I just hope the moron in charge of this run away ship cans the 7D at Photokina - so I can sell mine for £2000 to fund my escape!
Anyone disagree look at the Sony A99 = $2,800 / 1.58 = £1772 + £325 [cheapest flight to New York] = £2,097. or a 6D for £2,000!
Being Serious this is so underwhelming it could shake Canons share price in 6 months time.
I was waiting for the new FF, but seriuosly for the money I'll stay with my 7D! until the 6D Mk 2 comes out or I'll go 5DmkIII.
No wonder they gave the 7D an upgrade - obviously the creative pot was empty!
