And here it is: the Canon 6D DSLR designed for those of you who believe the 5D Mk III to be out of reach. Rumors have been circulating for some time now and the camera that has been designed to rival the D600 will have some interesting features. First off, this is essentially a full frame sensor in an APS-C camera body. But because of this, there are some physical limitations to the new camera: like shutter sync speed.
The full spec list and extra photos are after the jump.
