Canon 6D

I am a wedding shooter/company owner with companies in 4 cities in the US. This is our dream camera for weddings! 100% of our customers want flashless photos, and this is the one that can do it (well, the 5D MK III also). As to the overblown criticism of the focus points, the criticism sounds good on paper, but in reality, most pro wedding shooters only use the center focus point anyway. Would it be nice to have more cross type points? Yes, but it works as it is. The high ISO performance is to die for, that's where the money shots are. Also, I only paid $1,799 on Amazon (US)!
