The smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR has wifi!

Yes, you heard right. You can now pre-order this Canon baby, boasting a full-frame sensor and weighting just 770g, making it the lightest and smallest full-frame DSLR camera in the world! AND it's equipped with wifi AND...wait for it, it has a built-in GPS, geo-taging your photos! So you can transfer your high-rez professional photos immediately onto your mobile devise, and upload them to Instagram on the go! Isn't Instagram all about people passionate about proper photography? And yet most users just upload mediocre quality photos taken mostly by mobile devices...

I believe this is the camera serious amateur photographers have been waiting for, enabling you to instantly share superb quality photos both on the web and directly with other wireless devices, while the GPS data can be used with automatic mapping digital applications.

Could this be the beginning of the end of bad quality photographs on Instagram, Facebook and Google+? Photos so bad that users feel the need to post edit by 100s of photo editing mobile applications to the extend that the image does no longer represent reality?

Amazing how technology keeps progressing towards smaller and lighter! As perhaps one of the few remaining people who doesn't use instagram or any other photo enhancing app - I'd like to believe that with the new Canon EOS 6D and Nikon's D600 DSLR that people might switch back to using external cameras that can provide incomparable picture quality especially when zooming, I remain pretty skeptical. For photography enthusiasts, these new options will be very appealing (albeit the steep price tag of high $2000s may discourage more than a few people from purchasing), I believe the majority will continue to use their phones and photo enhancing apps especially with phones constantly improving the camera pixels and embedding photo editing software. Moreover instagram isn't just a photo enhancing app, it has established itself as a social platform to share photos and follow your friends' photos. Finally, at the most basic level it's just one less thing to carry and pictures can be uploaded without needing wifi like the canon and nikon cameras require - so the question really is what's more important quality or convenience?
