Canon responded with an announcement of its own price-conscious full frame DSLR, the EOS 6D. And just like that, a new market segment was born: the mid-range full frame DSLR.
It was only a decade ago that full frame DSLR performance was limited to those with pockets deep enough to spend 5 lakhs on the Canon EOS 1D. And while the barrier to entry has dropped considerably since then, for many potential buyers, the most-talked about feature of the EOS 6D may well be its price. It debuts at 90 grands less than the company's standout EOS 5D Mark III.As the full frame DSLR market grows ever-more crowded though - Canon, Nikon and Sony each offer at least two full frame models the appeal of the 6D may well rest on things like handling and feature set. While Canon obviously needs to maintain clear distinctions between the 6D and the pricier 5D Mark 3, the challenge is to offer enough incentive for current EOS owners who lack a substantial lens investment to resist the similarly priced and slightly higher resolution Nikon D600.
