I was on the Canon refurb site yesterday. The 5D II body is $1495, and with the 20% Canon Loyalty Program discount, comes to $1196 (no sales tax in Oregon). I am a 7D shooter, but have the FF bug. Just not a serious enough bug to go crazy on letting loose of my cash. I'm not so sure I would really use the GPS on the 6D, but the Wi Fi capability is a maybe. 6D sounds like has some advantages over the 5D II such as better AF (marginally), better low light, less noise at higher ISO, faster processor. The 5D II seems a little closer to my 7D in terms of handling. I really don't do that much sports or fast action photography, although the grandkids are getting close to organized sports age. Mostly travel, family, slower moving types of subjects.
My question to the forum is this. For $1200, I can get an essentially new 5D II with a warranty. My lens inventory would probably need a 24-105 for the FF, but that would be necessary for any FF that I buy. Is the extra $400 for the 6D really worth it?
