This is my long awaited review of the Nikon D600( also applies to the Nikon D610) vs the Canon 6D in an Epic, side to side shootout testing some of the most important aspects of the two cameras. As I mention on the video, these are 2 very different cameras. D600/D610 is better as an "all round" camera, the 6D excels in low light (wedding photographers are going to love the 6D).
You can check out the Crash Course DVDs I have for both cameras on my products page, they are available both as DVD & immediate download: www.michaelthemaven.com/products/

Im sure there will be plenty of criticism about this comparison, and my intent is to inform my viewers the best that I can about both cameras to the best of my ability. Something I wanted to do was actually show you (evidence) how I came to the conclusions I did, instead of just reading sheet specs. It was a lot of work. If there are mistakes I have made & I imagine there will be, I will do my best to point these mistakes out. I am making a very serious effort to improve the quality of both the information and method of presenting, so I thank you for your support!
UPDATE:

I was going to stay away from the Canon 6D because I've read about the terrible auto-focus. You proved that to be untrue. I'm now choosing the 6D and I owe you. I'll be purchasing your training video on the 6D. It's a keeper for us night shooters.
