I was to the understanding that the 6D AF was at least as good as the 5D MKIII? Is this not the case? Low light conditions is a must with decent ISO.
What do you mean by "at least as good?" No, the 6D does not not have nearly the overall AF technology as the 5D Mark III. The 6D does have very good AF with the central AF point, to include class-leading low-light AF ability with that central AF point. If you focus-and-recompose, using the central AF point, the 6D is a very good camera. If you use multiple AF points to track a moving subject, the 5D Mark III will be notably better than the 6D.
I very much tried to learn to like the 6D, for low-light shooting, to join my "team" of two 7D cameras, but the differing arrangement of the top buttons, in particular the ISO botton no longer being the farthest-right of the identically-sized top buttons, and the differing rear dial, caused me to pass on the 6D. I live near a large independent camera store, and two Best Buy stores, and made numerous visits to handle the 6D. (Notably, when I am handling a 1D Mark II N or Nikon D700 body, I do not get confused about the controls, probably because the much-different-feeling body is an overwhelmingly obvious tactile clue that the controls are different.)
My point is not to slam the 6D, but to caution that a camera with differing controls can be an issue, especially something as subtle as rearranged top right buttons. Notably, the 7D Mark II appears to have nearly-identical controls as the 5D Mark III.
