Was told by Richard Young that there is no more 6D demo set. Almost wasted the trip but he was generous enough to let me try a "reserved" set. A big THANK YOU!!
6D is instead a very ergomatic camera, fits nicely into my small hands. It feels very good. It might have only 1 Cross point but I don't think you need other off centre points if you don't shoot in low light. I currently have a nikon D5100 setup and might jump ship as the D600 feels so much like a brick.
So far, only AF speed in low light has been tested, accuracy not revealed yet: low light AF comparison.
Quote: "I would say it is safe to conclude here that Canon 6D's central focus point easily out performs all of the other cameras' central focus points in low light.
There is definitely something going on with the 6D's focusing system on that central square. It is very, very good in low light, about twice as fast as the 5Dii & It even out performs the 5Diii's central square.
The Nikon D600 failed to lock even once without its AF light."

This is a very interesting and positive feature. I hope it will make its way across all camera lines.
If reputable shop... then the (lower) price quoted is "safe".... but I do believe the prices are a bit lower now....

So no more 6D demo set at Click???
Shucks........
I was at Canon Vivo city this evening and a bro was hogging the 6D, and I did not get to test it as another bro... was also queuing......... sigh......
So near yet so far........... and I was unable to wait......
I did tried the 5D2 & 5D3.... and I thought the center point was ok for 5D2.... so I am sure the 6D will be fine for me too.................

Regarding AF performance,I shot in a restaurant in london which had the worst of light conditions and the 6D performed flawlessly. Highly recommended as a back up body.
Sounds good cash only is at $2650. Seems to be no additional charges

Here is the Pic with low ISO 50 with long explosure shot (244 sec).
6D, well manage to control over long explosure noise. A big step improvement for me compare with 7D output in this area.
The most exciting thing is Center super AF of 6D, I used Lee Big Stopper (-10)stop, Lee GND 0.75 Hard (-2.5)stop, stack together -12.5 stop.
The previous 7D lost his AF in such situation and usually switched to Manual Focus to take picture. After put on the filters, it is totally dark through the lens.
For 6D,Center Super AF is still working on 16-35II and no need to switch for Manual at (-13 F stop).
It is really amazing and very convenience for Landscape area.
