        There are no winners or losers. We all just agree that Sony's fullframes suck and move on. Canon and Nikon both make outstanding cameras. Respect them both.

        Yah, I did check it out. The single point works amazingly well: it locks on even in extremely dim environments. However, it locks on as well as the outside points on the K20D. Not that impressed... Had all the points been like that it would have been a seriously awesome system.

        ..and I've never seen someone post as an anonymous coward and imply they're a professional with such hateful disrespect to others. (yes, you don't have to point out the irony.)

        You were new once too, I was too, and I've been shooting for 30 years, kid.

        Don't underestimate it, it actually works very well in low light. It'll lock onto things that the 5d can't even grab focus on.

        In all Full Frames comparing Nikon to Canon always Nikon wins.

        Don't be so disrespectful of people, it's childish. Must be nice being able to insult others from the safety of your computer. You started at the bottom too so stop acting like your above these people.

        No. The Canon 6D DOES HAVE ONLY 1 CROSS TYPE focus points. It has 11 Focus points. It just have 1 Cross type focus

        Just checking, where do you see on our review that the Canon 6D has a built in flash?

        you shouldn't believe that because it doesn't have any pop up flash

        it was a typo. the 6d has 11.

        Do you mean to say you can't shoot at 1/4000? I have had a Rebel Digital for the last 9 yrs and I have never needed higher than 1/4000

        One cross-type focus point?! What the hell is Canon playing at!?
        I was seriously considering getting the 6D...

        I do not believe that the shutter operates at its maximum speed of 1/4000
