Almost, but not quite there; The D600 is better in some very important areas and Canon seems to have minimized the spec's; DPR sums it up quite nicely:
"Overall, though, it's difficult to shake the feeling that the EOS 6D simply lacks the 'wow' factor of its main rival. Whereas Nikon seems to have taken the approach of taking away as little as possible from D800 when creating the D600, Canon appears almost to have gone the other way, removing as much as it thinks it can get away with at the price. The result is the kind of conservative, slightly unimaginative design that's become the company's hallmark. It's still bound to be a very good camera, of course; just perhaps not quite as good as it could be."
Now can anyone understand that the EF-S lenses will not fit on the 6D!! If Canon wants the APS-C owners to upgrade, this does not seem to be the way. If I have to sell my lenses, I might as well go to Nikon, with less expensive lenses in many cases and a better camera!
