Over the last weekend, and especially since I started looking at my photos, I've been thinking about what features would be important to me. As to GPS, there are times that it would be very nice to have it in the camera. Although I'd much prefer that the astrotracer menu didn't suck. The astrotracer feature is a brilliant hack, but it is a huge pain in the ass to use. A friend of mine just posted on facebook how cool astrotracer looks. I commented that I really like it, and she asked if she could borrow mine. I pointed out that not only will it not work with her canon, it is impossible for it to work on her canon. > > One thing that jumps out at me is the same -3EV to 18EV spec for AF > Sensitivity.

I lost a lot of photos because of either poor focus, or because the camera focused on something that I thought was way out of the focus selection area. > > But on the other hand, the number of AF points and sensors on the > Nikon sort of put the 6D to shame.

I actually used my pop-up flash a couple of times this weekend for fill. And, frankly, had better luck with it than I did with the AF540. > > ISO is two stops better on the Canon.
