I already mentioned this on twitter, but the selection of Canon full frame models basically falls into
four models listed here.
The 1D/1D C are in the $7,000-$15,000 range... so I imagine those are out of your budget.
Which basically leaves the 6D and 5D models. For what it's worth the 5D has basically been the "gold standard" Canon full frame for a number of years. Most of the pros I know have the 5D... in fact I've never actually come across anyone shooting on the 6D.
But at $1,700 new for the body only the 6D begins to approach mortal prices when compared to the 5D Mark III at $3,200
Having said all that:
If I were looking to make the jump myself I'd be looking for used used 5D Mark II's, they seem to go around $800-$1,100 on ebay and is still considered a very capable full frame DSRL. I'd say 80-90% of the pros I know who shoot full frame Canons are on this body.
That's not to say you'll go wrong with the 6D at all, it's just not a model I have any familiarity with.
