- EXPEED 6 Image Processor
- Multi-CAM 37K 105-Pt. All Cross-Type AF
- 14 fps Shooting, Extended ISO 328000
The peak of Nikon's DSLR lineup, the D6 is a no-holds-barred camera with a focus on speed, performance, reliability, and precision. Adept in both photo and video realms, the D6 revolves around a 20.8MP FX-format sensor and an EXPEED 6 image processor that enables an impressive 14 fps continuous shooting rate, a native sensitivity range from ISO 100-102400 (expandable up to ISO 328000), and UHD 4K video recording at 30 fps. When working with stills, a revised high-density Multi-CAM 37K autofocus system features 105 cross-type points that improve focusing precision and speed, and with 1.6x greater frame coverage, the need to recompose while shooting is greatly reduced. This focusing system also works with 17 customizable Group Area AF patterns to suit working in cluttered or busy scenarios or with fast-moving subjects.

I like the ruggedness of this camera. I shoot some video but most work is fine art stills. I don't plan to print larger than 30"X40". Image quality is no. 1 priority. I know that all pixels are not created equal. Will I be disappointed with the IQ and should I wait for the new D860/880 we all expect with more pixels?
To add to Reuben's answer: the D6 (and D5) are aimed at shooters who shoot high ISO. The D6 is the best camera if you are shooting in low light.
If you've got lots of light and can shoot at low ISO, the D850 will give you significantly better images with higher resolution and higher dynamic range at low ISO - which means better colors and saturation.
