Well the weekend saw an the specs of Canon’s alternative to the D600 leaked. It’s been confirmed that it will be the Canon 6D, an entry level full frameed body.

The specs:

• 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor
• DIGIC5+ image processing
• ISO 100-25600 (expandable to 50-102400)
• APS-C Sized Magnesium alloy body
• Built in WI-FI & GPS
• 11 point auto focus
• 4.5fps continuous shooting
• 1/180 sync speed
• Weatherproofing
• 3-inch LCD screen
• 1080 HD video recording.

It seems that both Nikon and Canon are dropping the ball when it comes to sync speed 1/200th on the D600 and only 1/180th on the 6D. Straight away that is going to turn a few people off.

As for the cost well Adorama accidentally put the preorder page up briefly with a listing price of $2099.

What makes this interesting is that the Canon 5D mkII is still being products and has a price tag of less than $2000 so I’m not sure where the 6D fits in to the scheme of things.

Canon will be announcing their Photokina products on September 17, 2012 so we should know a little bit more very soon.
