Very, very few people moving up to full frame will seriously consider both;
In your narrow point of view, you are completely ignoring first time buyers and buyers moving from another system (e.g. Pentax, Sony, 4/3s, etc.).
Looking at how the 6D is spec\'d, it looks more targeted at these buyers than upgraders.
... the vast majority of potential purchasers are already invested in enough glass/accessories that they won\'t even consider the other manufacturer\'s product at that stage; they will only be considering the various FF offerings of \"their\" manufacturer.
Very likely.
And what does the 6D offer to 60D and 7D upgraders - a better sensor coupled with a worse AF system.
Excellent.
So they\'re not really in competition. The lower end DSLR products--the ones which would be the first DSLR one might purchase--are very much in competition; the higher end product are not so much in competition.
So, 11-point AF system with a single cross-point is high end .
Canon marketing owns you man. They really, really do .
