One gripe many owners of the Canon EOS 7D have is its APS-C sized CMOS image sensor. Purportedly, Canon will be addressing that issue during the Photokina 2012 trade show next week. In a need to satisfy the ever expanding “prosumer” customer base, Canon is set to unveil the Canon EOS 6D, a possible successor to the 7D. Relatively identical in appearance, the Canon EOS 6D will include several desirable alterations, including a full-size CMOS image sensor, Wi-Fi and GPS components, and media compatibility including that of SD/SDHC/SDXC. Rumored to cost around US$ 2,500 to US$ 3,700, which is just around 7D’s price points.
