Jo, I've been using a 6D and you can see some of the images I've posted in the beginner's section.

While it's low noise, I'm finding that as the nights are getting warmer the noise level is increasing. I think this is fundamental (extra heat, extra noise), but I'm thinking an actively cooled camera is going to be needed for Qld summer nights. I'm not sure how hot it gets for you, but it might be something to consider.

The WiFi stuff is pretty cool. I wish BackyardEOS/APT could use it (so I could drop a cable), but as of about 6mths ago, Canon had not released the WiFi additions to the sdk for developers. I'm not sure if that has changed.

And thanks for the news about clip in filters, that's something I'll have to look up.

For a DSLR it's pretty good and I'm quite happy with it. If you do get one, you'll want to get an external power pack for it - it chews the juice and if you use WiFi it's just going to chew more.
