FROM 5D MARK III VS 6D ISO
With this you get a native ISO range on the 6D that adds 12,800 and 25,600. The biggest of these advancements will likely be seen in the progression from the Digic 4 to Digic 5+ processor.
FROM 5D MARK III VS 6D SERIES
That is quite a time span, so some of the technology has improved, and even though the 5D series is positioned slightly above the 6D series some of the technological advancements have made their way into the 6D line. Keep in mind that these cameras were announced four years apart from one another. This is important to understand, as it is possible that either spec may not hold up to its perceived improvement. The 6D has yet to have any public reviews, so any discussion of the AF or ISO performance is not yet based on lab tests of a production copy of the body. All of this information is currently based on the spec sheets and what we know from hands on usage of current DSLRs. I'll try to keep my post unbiased and stick to the facts. In the case of the sync-port, you can buy a hot-shoe to sync-port adaptor or you can join the modern world and go with wireless triggers. Besides the 1/8000s max shutter-speed, everything the 5D Mark II can do, the 6D can do it too. Overall, it looks like the 6D is most advantageous outside of some specific circumstances. It really is too little a difference compared to other things. If one is not enough, buy an extra batteries. WiFi on the 6D and Sync-Port on the 5D Mark II: You decide which one you would use more.

On the 5D Mark II you have to do it in software and get more control while doing so. If you tend to shoot off-level, this will save you time and image quality if you choose to correct tilt. You can buy one that fits the hot-shoe but it wont help with the camera at eye-level. If you shoot action this makes a difference, not a huge one but it helps. Negligible for viewing and no effect on photography. In either case, you cannot see what ends up in your images before you shoot and may have to crop later. For high-speed photography such as water-drops, people user flash instead. If you shoot race-cars for example, this could help. It's only one stop and would make a difference in limited circumstances.

marginally faster sync speed + pc sync port (for shooting with remote flashes).faster max shutter speed 1/8000s vs 1/4000 (may be useful for shooting wide open in daylight).SD card slot instead of CF (users may have a preference, or a collection of cards already).slightly better screen and more recent UI.
