Whether this is mostly marketing hype remains to be seen, but the specs look interesting. A flip out screen (which is undoubtedly handy), a new full frame sensor, high ISO and a price somewhere between the old 6D and the 5Ds.

These have been improved all round making a great camera even better but one thing I think that Canon has missed the mark on is the lack of 4K video. Something I think should be standard for any new camera at this level.
In response to the OP's question a lot of good options have been provided by others. Another one that may be worth some consideration is the Canon 70D. They can be bought for under a $1,000 now and although they may not have the best signal to noise ratio on paper they still do perform reasonably well and are a fantastic all round camera for any day/night-time situation. They also feel very nice in the hands.
Happy hunting.
