I was pretty clear in the article that the beep assumes focus.
Ive been getting a lot of "hate" emails and posts over it, but the take home message is this: That center focus square on the 6D is much better than the other cameras in low light.
For someone who has a camera and are happy with, true- this may be a meaningless test.
For a wedding photographer who shoots in low light, and is choosing between a 6D and D600, my little test might have more meaning.
Thanks!
I am fully with you when it comes to the importance & specially for a wedding photographer to be able to acheive focus in poor light conditions, incl the joy when you found a camera that performs. With the high ISO performance of last generation cameras the AF system is still the main performance bottleneck for many types of photography. And I think the large & sensitive & hopefully high performance 6D center AF sensor can be just fine, it is certainly better with one really good focus-point as compared to many if they are less reliable.
But you can not comment on AF system performance based only on when the beep comes ...

Not only that, but your reaction time to these beeps makes ANY conclusions plain speculation. Unless your reactions are identical and repeatable (50 times repeatable), the results are not plausible. Do this test 50 times
http://www.humanbenchmark.com/tests/reactiontime/index.php
and I'll bet you don't come close to hitting the same mark more than a handful of times. And that only tests your reaction time to the beep. We also have to factor in your reaction to moving the camera to the next target, finding focus (waiting for beep and reacting), snapping a shot and reacting quickly to move on the next, rinse and repeat. Really? A test like this is only worthwhile if you take the human equation out of it. Other than that, it's an interesting exercise in "my gut feelings say..such and such" and by all means any results are far from conclusive.
