That looks great. Shame if the moiree is as bad as my 60D, but not a lot there to stress the camera.
I saw it yesterday, the local dealer made its presentation. I think it is interesting for people who own some APS-C Canon and want to use their EF mount lenses on a FF body. I avoid to say "poorman's 5D" because poor people don't have $2000 for this, and who does should better go for 5D Mk2 now, it is getting cheaper than 6D.
Personal review - http://www.michaelstringer.co.uk/blog/?p=52
for video, the 6d owns the the d600 for pictures, flip a coin or decide by personal choice
bought a d600, took it back instantly bought a 6d, couldn't be happier with my decision.
look up the video of c300 vs 6d in low light, pretty impressive.
hopefully in the next week I can have a sample video put together now that the holidays have slowed down.
Another not too bad review :
Canon is the best at product differentiation strategy.
Reviews:
All-in-all, I actually did really like the 6D. I thought it handled well, had really quite good image quality and impressive low-light focusing abilities. There’s certainly more I liked about it than didn’t and I think it’s a worthy consideration for any Canon shooters looking to go full-frame.
With the VAF-6D (http://store.mosaicengineering.com/VAF-6D-Moire-Aliasing-Filter_p_15.html) this is looking as a nice FF alternative for shooters who that need good high ISO performance.
Canon 6D review, quite positive

Would it be a good decision selling my GH3 to pick the 6D , video-wise ? I am little disappointed with Gh3 results , specially with lumix lenses . I am trying to achieve a "cinematic" look in my videos and I think that would be easier with Canon lenses ...moiré is a huge problem with the GH3 and I dont believe we ll have soon neither a hack or a better firmware . Sorry to be skeptical but Panasonic ...I just cant trust they care about us ...
With the availability of raw video, if you're going Canon, I'd strongly suggest one of the cameras with a CF slot if you're looking for the best video quality. Canon used cheap SD slots and while the 6D has the best available in a Canon, it still maxes out at 40MB/s. Older CF cameras (5DII and 50D) can do 60MB/s (though there's no audio on 50D) and the 5DIII can do more than 90MB/s.

As far as whether it's a good decision, that's a question you're going to have to answer for yourself. You should try renting a Canon setup for a weekend and go shoot with it. If you like it, buy one. If not, keep your GH3. It's also a great camera.
Yeah, I would strongly advise 6D purchasers if they need video they go the extra bucks to buy the 5DMKIII with its CF & SD slot and shoot RAW. The h264 encoder found on all the new range of Canons still aren't brilliant but Im having a go at improving things. ML need to uncover a bit more about the encoder - theres very little configuration settings available at the moment.
The Canon EOS 6D is an excellent camera for Canon DSLR users who want to step up to a full-frame camera without spending $3500 for the 5D Mark III. This camera combines some of the best Canon technology and features from its surrounding siblings like the 60D and the 5D Mark III and adds Wi-Fi and GPS, two features that require optional accessories on its closest competitor, the Nikon D600.
