Canons New Full-Frame 6D: The Beginning Of The End For APS-C At $2099

canon-6dCanon unveiled a new entry in its DSLR lineup this morning, the full-frame Canon 6D which arrives sometime in December. The camera is priced at $2,099 U.S., at or slightly above where its previous generation 5D Mark II is currently sitting at most retailers, and well under the $3,500 asking price of the 5D Mark III or the $6,800 1DX. It's an attractive and affordable choice for those looking at at a 7D, which is based around much smaller APS-C sensor tech, and right on par with Nikon's latest D600 full-frame, which also retails for $2,099. The question is, with these kinds of specs in a full-frame body at these prices, is it only a matter of time before APS-C gets retired altogether?The 6D hits a lot of notes, but not all of them are the ones consumers were looking to hear. Still, it's trying to be a bridge device, and it definitely changes things up enough to wear that guise.
