The 6D has just one card slot. It's a fairly basic camera, comparable to a #0D camera body. It has GPS and Wi-Fi, built in.
As for the 5D3, I would venture that the 5D3 design team is long broken up by now. In fact, the camera just may be out of production by now, if not in the very near future. There's probably no one available to do a firmware rewrite for a mere feature upgrade.
The 5D3 is still listed on Canon's Web site; and given the current $1000 price differential, I'd expect it to continue to sell well for a while. Maybe not to leading-edge pros, but to people like you and me.
I agree. I expect it to continue to sell, too, until current inventories expire. I'm just saying that it is quite likely no longer in production.
In addition, whatever design team that they had assembled for the 5D3, has most likely long been broken up. The team designed and released a product. Corrected any glaring firmware bugs. What's left for them to do? In fact, many members of the 5D3 team were most likely re-assigned to be part of the 5D4 design team.
So, why is there apparently a 7D2 design team still assembled? Good question. But, I think it might suggest something about how soon we might see a 7D3, which is perhaps not very soon.
