6D, 5DII is old hat at this point. 6D FEELS like a modern camera, 5DII feels dated, and the files look dated too.
Hmm, most of the time you'd be hard pressed to tell a 5D2 file from a 6D unless pushed in an extreme manner. I like 6D output but the small controls feel like a 60D or Rebel. The 5D2 is much nicer in the hand: all metal, joystick, larger QCD, etc. Those tiny tap pads in the middle of the 6D QCD are a PITA compared to a joystick.

It's the new format between 1.3 APS-H (former 1D series) and oversize full frame (5DmkIII and 1Dx). The nanocrop of the 6D forces you to zoom with your feet for just less than half your big toe in your shoe. It's a good exercise. So the designers had your health in mind when designing this edgeless pixel sensor. Marketing is to blame for this new cripple policy, but their reasoning was that a 1% pixel discount is probably the better solution and a good differentiator from the "real full frame" bodies like the oversize full frame bodies like the 1Dx and the 5DmkIII. The nanocrop also crops out the pixels from images that usually hit the frame or matte around the picture. Future green Canon printers will support the new nanocrop format to save ink and save the world. Another fact is Nikon and Sony don't have the new format of nanocrop full frames yet. The nanocrop format offers third party developers to bring new products. Expect Metabones to bring a new speedbooster to support the new nanocrop format which will enhance the opening speed of any EF lens by 0.097%. Also a new Adobe Lightroom Flash edition will convert the nanocrop format faster. An important implication for practical use of the nanocrop bodies is that photographers should keep in mind that the rule of thumb for the shutter speed (1/focal length sec) should be counting on 0.097% extra reduction in shutter speed, or use the tripod. By the end of 2013 most Canon service centers will have the new sensor cleaning equipment with smaller pads. Some service centers even will start hiring cleaning gnomes to clean the nano crop sensors.
