Come on Ralph, someone's posting photos on DPReview from their new 6D!

I'm in the armpit of the US, with no idea where I'll be able to play with one in person...an hours drive to Best Buy, but I don't think they're going to carry it.

- as far I know its in stock nowhere here in germany now.

Nobody has a 6D(not a pre-production camera) in hands to tell us about it and show some pictures?

Most of the shots special the high ISO ones look very extreme noise reduced to me in 100%. The others show contrast lines and artifacts, too. I would like to see some Raw samples now.

Took a second look and I see what you mean. I was going to ask the guy on dpreview about NR but I don't remember my password

I do not understand the graphs and the results out of them.

A SD of 28 if in my opinion very good, better than all the prior cameras with the exception of the 5dIII and 1Dx (SD of 17) and 1D IV (SD of 22).
The 5D II has an SD of 38.5!

I think the 6D is not comparable to the 5dII, but to other modern AF systems like the t4i. It is not comparable to the 5dIII, but good enough for me.

Basically, if I'm correct : the lower the standard deviation with phase AF, the more precise the AF is. The 1DX and 5DIII have a phase AF that's almost as precise as liveview AF, for example, according to Roger Cicala.
According to him, the 6D is as good as the 5DII.

I think the conclusions to the graph are wrong. 6d seems to do better than the 5d3 ?

Yes, I read this too and I asked Roger. Because according to the numbers of the presented graph it looks much nearer to 5D III than to 5DII for me (only center AF point was tested).

that was my reading, too but the written word speeks different. I asked Roger in the blog please to explain.

From Roger's articles, SD (standard deviation) of previous cameras with the 28/2.8 IS is:

Camera - SD

1DsIII 29
5D II 38.5
50D 34
7D 41
1DIV 22
60D 34
T3i 41
1Dx 17
5D III 17
T4i 29

6D 28

Keeping in mind that 5D3 is ONLY hitting that accuracy with a handful of certain new lenses - such as 28/2.8 IS - not with every older lens in production (according to Rogers previous articles, unless I am misunderestimating what he 'splained in them).

With 'older' lenses (100L macro and later, 2009?) I believe SD of 5D3 was similar to 5D2's numbers (at center point).
