While I like CF memory for speed, you do have to be careful inserting because of the pins. I don't know if this helps you in deciding. I think Canon could have added a few features, but if they had, there really would be little reason to want the 5D MKIII so that is why I think they purposely left those desirable features out. I just think I have to work a little harder to get those shots using the 6D. I have never had any regret getting the 6D over the 5D MK II, I do wish I had gotten the 5D MKIII, but I have taken many good photos with the 6D and photos the wedding couples and their families love. Have some speedlights that do High Speed Sync, some 13-14 foot light stands, radio triggers and you can handle a lot of venues. As I said professional photographers have been using them for years. If you are on a really tight budget, get the 5D MK II.

If you can wait to save some more jingles and want to have a camera you won't want to upgrade from because you are going pro save for the 5D MK III, if you need the camera now and are willing to compromise on features I would go with the 6D over the 5D MKII. The 6D not having 1/8000th sec means nothing to me, It does have ISO 50, if I were to be at the beach or in a snow covered field in bright sun, it is not a big issue and if I really need to open the lens up I could put on an ND Filter. The 5D MK II has no advantage in focal points.

I think the 5D MK III will have more cross type focal points and will have an edge in fast focusing and ability to quickly shift focal points. Doing a wedding, this is frustrating, when the camera just won't focus the moment you need it to. I don't see the problem as bad with my Canon 24-70mm F/2.8 L, but if I am using my Tamron 70-200mm F/2.8 low light focus can be slow, a problem when the camera just won't lock focus instantly and you can miss shots. Sometimes in low light, the 6D can be a little slow in locking focus with some lenses.

First figuring out how to set up the WiFi can be a bit of a pain, but there are plenty of YouTube Videos and once done and practice with it, it is fun to work with. It can be nice if you have a computer hooked up and want to display images at the reception while shooting.

The 6D also has a cool feature of built in WiFi, you can use your computer, android phone or pad or iPhone or iPad to control it, though it only sends jpegs over WiFi. With some good high speed sync capable speedlights, using bounce and remote flash, the camera can capture beautiful images. You will just have to make sure you have gone through the menus and gotten it set up for the gig. Once you really get used to the camera though it performs well.

Picture quality and full frame it was a step up. My 7D had more focal points and more easily access control on the camera, so in some ways as professional features moving from the 7D to the 6D felt like a let down. Many features of the 6D are only accessed from the menu such as white balance. The 5D MK III has it beat in many features, many more focal points, easily accessible controls.

The 6D is lacking in some features a professional would like on a camera. This possibly due to slightly larger pixel sensor size that can gather more photons. For low light the 6D is said to have a slight edge over the 5D MK III for noise, very slight. In my opinion the 6D is a step up from the from the 5D MK II and wedding photographers used the 5D MK II for years. Though a 5D MK III is a more professional tool. I have shot weddings with the 6D, it can get the job done.
