Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 6D Body

Picture quality is excellent. Only gripe is the battery seems to die if you leave camera off over about a day or so. I believe this might be due to GPS being on. During use though, battery life is as advertised.

After first tries it feels as expected: Light body, easy to take, very good resolution on medium ISO, pretty accurate "AF quick" mode while live view.

Best camera so far. Used to have a 5d mk2 but didn't like it due to the huge body. Feature I really like is the wifi interface with both computer and iPad/iPhone.

Everything is working perfectly. Lens accepts filters easily. Returning previous kit in which lens was cross threaded at filter end.

I don't I need to write a lot about the specs, you can find it allover the internet.I really like the ease of use, high ISO settings, and full frame sensor. Overall I guess this a good buy for the price.

Awesome camera, don't really know what else to say. Haven't found a downside yet. I'm using this thing every chance I get!

I am very happy with this camera, especially with WiFi and GPS feature. I made my buying decision based on this article:[...]

I bought this camera after long researches including many positives and negatives on the net. after all im very very very happy with this camera. i wrote down the advantages and disadvantages of this beauty that im remembered. i hope this will give u an idea.(+) :-its cheapest full frame canon camera. because of this it can benefit all the 35mm features.1. you can use the exact angles write on the lens. example: 24mm is actually the 24mm on this camera.2. you can take pictures with better bokeh at the same position compared to the crop dslrs thanks to its bigger sensor size.3. the iso performance is lot better. iso 6400 is very usable at native size (20mp). and let me give you a trick. if you select the sraw, you will increase the pixel size twice. you get 5mp but if you are in very low light condition and if your lens does not have and big aperture you get less noise at this 5mp. this called pixel binning. i go to 25600 iso with very clear pictures at 5mp with this feature.-its not much heavy.-its grip and the buttons give a solid and comfortable feeling. especially shutter release button and aperture wheel.-it have beautiful and crisp lcd.-its hardware and price is very optimum and enough.-silent shutter is useful in many conditions.-video quality is fine.-the raw quality is identical with all canon full frame dslrs. i shoot raw all the time and edit it with photoshop. i think you should take RAW always.-it have a WIFI. this is absolutely amazing. i wont shot myself without the wifi. i connected my mobile to 6d. its very useful.-it have one SD card. i think this is advantage because SD card and readers can be found everywhere for transfer.(-) :-it did not have a fast autofocusing system like 5d3. if you shoot fast things, this camera may not be helpful for you. (like sports)

The 6d is BETTER in low light than the 5D III and other brands in the same or even higher categories. You can bump up the ISO about 2 stops more. (Video to 6400 and Photos to 25,600). Now think about that... this means you can SAVE A FORTUNE on lenses. So instead of a 70-200 2.8 lens, you can get the F4 for half the price. You can use the 24-70 F4 IS rather than the F2.8 IS II for half the price. So not only do you save $1,500 on the camera, but you'll save thousands on lenses. (of course you can spend the same and just enjoy even better low light performance compared to 5D III etc.).I'm surprised this point hasn't been shouted from the rooftops.This is my kit so far and what I paid for it:Canon 6d - $1,400 (got it for $1,999 with 24-105 then sold the lens for $600 - not here)Canon 24-70 F4 lens - $799 ($999 less the rebate of $200 - this was a one-off deal not here)Canon 70-200 F4 - $564 (Amazon - $643 less $80 rebate)Canon 40mm 2.8 Prime - $149 (Amazon)Total: $2,914For under 3k have an amazing full frame setup for photography and video with 3 superb lenses (for less than the 5D III body only). To compare, that would be about $6k on the 5D III (taking into account that you'll need F2.8 rather than F4 on the lenses - granted you'll have shallower depth of field).I know for sports/wildlife the focus points and the speed of 5D III is superior and those who need those features know this. The other main advantage of 5D III is moire for video. 'For the rest of us' there's the Canon 6d.(You have to ask yourself... is the autofocus, faster frame rate and moire / anti-ailissing worth the $3k extra).

I purchased this camera about two months ago. I have been very happy with my 60Ds, but wanted to get better quality images in high ISO conditions. Upon using the camera for the first time while photographing a Bar Mitzvah, and transferring the photos to my computer, I noticed that the first image number was number 6104! This means that someone (or multiple people) had used this particular camera, had taken 6103 photos with it, returned it, and now I purchased it with 6103 photos "on" the shutter. In other words, I paid for a new camera and got a used one! I immediately returned it.This has since happened to me twice in the last six weeks from Amazon (I need a back-up camera, but keep getting used ones that are advertised as new, so I return them).When you purchase a new camera, the first image should say (when transferred to your computer) img_0001, the next img_0002, etc.This has absolutely nothing to do with your memory card. It just shows how many "clicks" are on your shutter, in your camera. If you receive a camera that says anything other than img_0001 on your first photo taken, you have a used camera!Because this has happened to me so often, I am sure it is happening to thousands of people, without them knowing it. It would probably be very tough to tell if an item is used (unless it arrived dirty or damaged), but with cameras it is very easy to tell. Do not pay full price for a used camera! If you get a camera that is used I would return it and keep doing so until you get a new one. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I cannot describe how wonderful the picture quality is for this camera. Photos come out spectacular even with extreme low light circumstances, and the center point works great for focusing in low light; using a 70-200 f/2.8 paired with this camera I am able to take pictures in near total darkness and still get ability to autofocus w/ output images nearly free of noise. It has a large enough buffer to take bursts of RAW+JPG without slowing down like cheaper cameras, and build quality is fantastic. This camera feels great in the hand!In terms of weaknesses, the autofocus system on this camera is dated with 11 autofocus points only 1 of which is cross-type. This means it has far less cross-type sensors than a Canon Rebel T5i which costs less than half the price. That being said, the autofocus does work fine for weddings, regular people shots, and landscapes. In a scenario with sports or one that requires constant tracking, you will likely be disappointed, though. So if you want a sports camera, this is not it! For other general events it is great.Another weakness is the lack of joystick or touchscreen. This is an issue as previewing pictures is a bit of a chore using the directional arrows to zoom around images. If the camera had a touchscreen or joystick, moving the zoomed area around would be much easier. The lack of joystick also makes changing the autofocus point more of a hassle, though you probably want to be using center point only most of the time.Finally, contributing to the loss of a star was the EOS Remote Utility. The PC version was a bit of a hassle to install (you need to turn off your firewall to link it up) and there is no app for Lumia Windows Phone & Surface 2 which is disappointing.In summary, the output of this camera is incredible as is the build quality. But a dated autofocus system and clunky interface means it is no replacement for the 5DIII. Still, for the money it is an excellent deal, so I would give it 4/5 stars!

Its an expensive camera, yes. But the quality is amazing. And its within a consumer friendly price for DSLR's20.2 Megapixels is perfect for this camera. With the Full Frame Sensor, you're not risking overcrowding the sensor like other cameras on the market do. Overcrowding a sensor is when you had too many megapixels for the sensor to handle [sort of like the 41 megapixel camera phone. more megapixels does not mean better pictures]Two of my favorite features of this camera are definitely the ISO sensitivity and the built in wifi.Ive taken pictures literally in the middle of the night with no lights or flash and had them come out surprisingly amazing. There was some grain, but considering the conditions I took them in, I was shocked.And the wifi feature is amazing, and fast. I love being in a situation when people are taking pictures with their phones and wishing they could get close so they can upload them to Facebook or instagram, and I'll just snap a picture with this beast of a camera, open up my app and transfer them to my phone, then I can crop and make any adjustments I want and upload amazing pictures.The lens it comes with isn't the greatest zoom, but the quality is amazing. Buying it with the camera is an amazing deal considering the lens alone is about $1400.The camera body is super lightweight. Its about the same as the L series lens it comes with.My only real complain about this camera is in regards to video, I wish that canon would add a headphone jack.Other points worth mentioning, the camera does NOT have a built in flash. You would by force have to buy a flash separately.

I have been taking pictures with Canons early digital as well as the the latest models. I use every setting from full manual to auto depending upon the condition I meet. I read up on all the materials presented with each camera and from my 20D, 40D, T2i and T4i I've gone through many lenses and settings. I never wanted another high end brand but I have used Nikon, Olympus, Sony and Panasonic in various applications. The main camera system I use other than Canon is Fuji, which has high quality mid range cameras.To sum it up since there are so many highly detailed reviews and specifics this camera captures perfect details in every image I take. I wanted a camera to grow with my needs and really give me an edge since I'm not very high on the professional realm of picture taking. With this system I was given the most bang for my buck. A great photographer can take excellent images with just about any camera, I on the other hand need some help and this camera makes many images look professional. I have several lenses that I've kept from the previous cameras and have not had any issues with zoom, macro, kit or telephoto lenses. You will not be dissapointed when you hold this camera in your hands. It's a piece of art ready to explode onto paper your imagination captures in digital format!Highly recommended! Keep up the great work Canon!

I'm a young amateur breaking into the world of professional photography. I don't know all the technical aspects of cameras and lenses, but I do know how to take a good photo. That being said, I did a lot of research on different camera models when I was deciding on an upgrade. I was initially set on a 7D for its price and ability to be used with EF-S glass (I have a 350D from back in 2005). However, I love shooting indoors and in low light, so with more digging, full-frame became the ideal choice.The deal on Amazon was AMAZING for this camera at the time I purchased ($1575 for the body only); I bought it, along with an EF 50mm f/1.4 to start. WELL, I am absolutely IN LOVE with this camera. The low-light functioning is superb, and the image quality (especially at high ISO) is simply astounding. I have not had any issues with the AF, as many reviewers find it to be a down-side to the 6D, but I also do not need many AF points since I don't often shoot action photography. One thing that I am not thrilled about is how the shutter speed only goes up to 1/4000. That is a bummer for me, but certainly not a deal breaker. I have yet to set-up the WiFi/GPS functioning so I can't speak on its performance, but it's pretty sweet that it has this option.All in all, I am extremely happy with my purchase and I feel I made the right decision. Granted, I have not had the camera THAT long yet but I am content with the results I have gotten so far--see some example images below. I also plan to update this review after I have used the camera more.If you are teetering on the edge about upgrading to full-frame (and thinking about the 6d), my answer is DO IT!Photos:[...][...]

I am truly impressed by this little camera. I upgraded from a Canon 7D to this thing. This is my first full frame camera and I can honestly say it is a huge upgrade from the 7D. I love almost everything about this camera. When I first opened it I was pleasantly surprised at how much lighter and smaller it is than the 7D.I felt like I had to get used to the controls all over again. But, once I got the hang of them it almost seems to flow a little better than with the 7D. I do end up using the quick menu much more often than on my 7D.The one and only thing I don't like about the camera is actually something that I just assumed would be there. I expected having the 3x3 grid when looking into the view finder which is something that does come with the 7D. The only way to have a 3x3 grid is by using the LCD screen....which I never ever use as a viewfinder.No matter what bells and whistles a camera has, it finally comes down to one thing, image quality. It is such a huge upgrade over the 7D. When I process my pictures and look closely at them the difference is staggering. On my old 7D I would have to mess with white balancing all the time, the 6D is spot on every time left on auto white balancing. Comparing the 6D to the 7D there is major difference in noise with the 6D a clear winner. As I look through old shots and comparing them to new shots I feel that this alone made the 6D a worth while purchase. I give this camera a high recommendation!

I am a Canon fan and I owned several Canon cameras and lenses, but I am extremely disappointed by their manufacturing quality control.According to my personal experience, many copies of this camera from early 2013 until now are installed with defective CMOS sensors, which randomly show up dead/defective pixels, even under relatively low ISO ( smaller than 3200 ).I bought mine from Amazon, it was a brand new camera sold and shipped by Amazon.com. The excitement own this camera, which was my first Full Frame camera quickly faded away and I became very frustrated when I notice two issues: 1. the Pentaprism and the focus screen were stained with a dust spot as well as a spot of smudge, even though they were very slight and hard to notice, I still feel it is unacceptable for such a high priced semi-professional equipment.2. the camera's image sensor show up dead/defective pixels under certain ISO settings and lighting conditions, even under relatively low ISO range.Shame on Canon!

My wife is very happy with the Canon 6D. She is, objectively speaking, an excellent amateur photographer. We have been considering upgrading from our 4 year old Canon T1i for about a year to a full-frame camera. The thoughts of buying the 5D Mark ii were not appealing because of its age and the 5D Mark iii was just too out of reach for an amateur photographer. The 6D does everything we need it to do and then some and was significantly less expensive than the 5D Mark iii. The ISO range is just so much better from what she was used to and was able to almost completely move away from flash photography indoors, eliminating the shadows that were almost always cast by the flash. Plus, the weight difference for someone that is small in stature is very appealing to my wife as well. Overall, the 6D has been the perfect purchase for us. Sure, we gave up all the autofocus points of the Mark iii and some resolution, but I don't think the price difference can be justified for anyone less than professional photographers.

This camera is great in low light situations. I moved up from the Rebel T1i. I also had the XTi. The difference is night and day. Things to note when changing from a cropped sensor to a Full Frame: - Your fish eye may not work. (I had the Rikonon 8mm with the hood you can't remove) - you can see the hood because of how wide a Full Frame is. - Your Wide Angle may look like a Fish Eye (my Tamron 10-24mm has a full circle at 10mm and the edges don't disappear until 15mm (without circular polarizing filter) or 16mm (with circular polarizing filter). Doesn't bother me since the Canon wide angle goes from 16-35mm. - 24-105mm works better on the full frame than the cropped sensor. It just looks brighter in general and there's better background blur. - 70-300mm - doesn't look like it's zooming as far. - 50mm 1.8f - still great even if the build isn't great - The cable release port is different than the Rebels. I didn't know that so I found out the hard way.The lack of onboard flash kind of made me skeptical about getting it, but since it has really high ISO and it is a professional grade camera, that fear is silly. I chose this over the Canon 5D mkIII because of the price difference and the options that came on the camera like WIFI and GPS. I like those features more than having a secondary memory slot for a compact flash card.The body build is nice and solid. I accidentally tested the weather proofing when a random wave crashed on me at the Lanai Lookout on Oahu. (oops)If you're looking to jump from cropped sensor to Full Frame, this is a great option.

1) light and small for a FF camera, almost the same as the 60D.2) AF is amazing (-3ev) in dim lighting conditions, accurate and fast3) ISO settings have been enhanced to set lowest shutter (this avoids blur caused by default choices of 1/30 or 1/40 in auto iso mode)4) clean jpg even in 12800 ISO. Canon did some magic work in their NR algorithm in camera jpg. I cannot obtain the clean image even using Adobe5) GPS is very accurate (though a little slow to lock). It remains to tag last known position if you walked into a building or GPS signal is lost. Battery drain is not very noticeable curiously. However you must not leave it on over night with a battery.6) Color rendition (WB) is excellent. Indoors tends to be a little more yellow than 5D mark II (which tends to be reddish brown).7) Ergonomics is less than the 5D series due to removal of the joy stick and left hand buttons. Most operations are completely right hand.8) Tends to underexpose in bright light with shadows almost too dark (Canon over corrected this)Overall this is a powerful camera inside of a plastic feeling case. Great for travel and street photography.

I have used my 5D for about 4 years. I really like the feel of the landscape photos I take with it. However, on a recent outing, I dropped my tripod, camera, and lens down a cliff and into a creek. It did not survive. I bought the 6D (instead of the 5D Mark III) because it was a better fit for the type of shooting I do.I have now used the camera on a couple outings. The camera settings I need are there - mirror lockup, back button focus, 2-second delay. I have been very satisfied with the quality of its photos. For landscapes, I shoot on a tripod. I usually focus using the Hyperfocal distance method with the help of the LCD screen. I also routinely shoot in low light or at night for stars. The high ISO performance is a big upgrade from my 5D. With just field use for comparison, I believe that 6D photos at ISO 6400 are at least as good as my 5D photos at ISO 1600. I sure like that.I don't think the 6D is unique as a quality replacement for my 5D. The 5D Mark III would surely have been a wonderful upgrade. However, for the type of photography I do, the 6D has all I needed and the money savings between the two will pay for a new lens or two.

I purchased the 6D this spring to replace my 40D. I also picked up a Nikon D600 at work at a similar time frame. Bottom line is I love this camera and prefer it over the D600 even though on paper the D600 is superior. It shoots great in low light, the 24-105 is a great general purpose lens, even it has a bit of distortion. A common complaint is the unsophisticated autofocus system has not been an issue for me, 99% of the time I always use the center focus point and reframe after focusing on what I want to be the sharpest, and in this fashion the 6D out performs all other cameras I've used due to the hypersensitive center focus point. If you shoot a lot of moving targets, this could be an issue for you, but for the rest of us, it is not.The only complaint I have about the camera has to do with HDR mode. The nikon will not rotate the mirror for each exposure whereas the 6D does, this seems so unnecessary and seems to prolong the amount of time required to obtain the image. Also Canon intentionally crippled the HDR mode to only save in JPEG to provide differentiation to the 5D Mk III. What is most annoying about only allowing HDR in JPEG mode is the interface doesn't make it at all clear why HDR cannot be enabled if your output format includes RAW. Although the interface on Canon SLRs is not very good, Nikon is arguably worse, and certainly no better. No one buys these cameras for their interface, so there's not a lot of emphasis. So, despite the possibility for confusion, this camera is awesome.

Ok.. ok... yea, you probably call me "sexist"! Guilty as charged. But seriously, this camera is a great body to team up with some great Canon lenses. You may run across my radiant reviews of Canon lenses, but they're nothing without this body. I originally considered the D5 Mk III. But after checking out a review on KenRockwell.com, I chose this one. The fact that Amazon had it as a "slightly-used" item with extras, and at an attractive price, I tried buying a used camera. Have not regretted the purchase. When the camera came, it was missing a couple of items that were listed. Hats off to Amazon, they gave me an discount offer I could not refuse. They also offered to take back the camera with a full refund and no return shipping charges. Nevertheless, I kept the camera and as usual, anything I have gotten from Amazon's used department, I had nothing to loose. If unsatisfied, they take it back, if, not, you get a quality item at a fair and reasonable price.

I have had this camera for 3 weeks now and have taken about 150 pictures. Before the 6D I had the 7D and was looking to move up to a full frame sensor. I am amazed on a daily basis with what the 6D camera can do. The detail of shots is amazing and shooting in low light is just plain fun. I can take really great pictures now by accident where with the 7D you needed to work at it some. It's also like I have a new group of lenses,,, my existing group of EF lenses really show what they can do with a full frame camera. Also, kudos to Amazon on this sale. Delivery was earlier then expected and their follow up with me was outstanding. So if you are debating the move from crop sensor to full frame this is a great reasonably priced choice.

I upgraded from a 60D to this camera and have been more than satisfied. I was primarily interested in it's low light performance as I like to shoot without flash. I took pictures of my company Christmas party on a boat at night using the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens and got some great shots in spite of the darkness. The 24-105 lens is also great, amazingly sharp for a zoom lens. I use it to take great pictures of my grandson. This is a perfect camera for the serious amateur, especially if you like to shoot in existing light.

I have invested quite a bit in cannon glass and therefore wanted to stay with the brand. I currently own the 7D and was overall satisfied but no "wow" factor. After researching extensively, decided to make the switch to full frame. I was very concerned about only 11 point focus with only ONE cross type on the 6D. However, after shooting with it for only 2 days, I can definitely say AF on 6D is faster and more accurate than my 7D. I can finally say "wow" with the images taken with 24-105L and 70-200L lenses. They just pop with very little noise even at ISO 6400. The only slight difficulty I have had so far is setting up the EOS remote app but was finally able to set it up. It seems to link better if set up through your wifi network rather than using the camera as the wifi node.

I've been using Canon cameras for a long time. This camera is my first foray into a full-frame and I'm really happy with it. The only issue I really have is the FPS is too slow for my needs, although I was pretty sure this would be a problem before I bought it so I didn't take off any stars. For the difference in price from the 5d, I'll live with the slow FPS for a while. I am disappointed in the Wifi with my computer--the camera is very slow to respond to commands from the interface and using wifi disables the ability to use a remote shutter. I don't "need" the wifi so it's not a big deal, just disappointing because the performance is not what I was led to expect from the information provided by Canon.

I debated a long time between the canon mark iii and this 6D. I can honestly say I'm happy I went with the 6D. I'd say the greatest advantage of getting the 5D mark iii is that you have two kinds of storage cards and this 6D only has an SD card option. But if twice the price is worth that to you....get the mark iii. As for me, I'd been living with only one type of storage already, and I just couldn't justify spending twice as much for a difference. So I bought this and got a lens all for the same price as the mark iii and I'm much happier!!

This Camera has been berated by many "Pros" who notice the lack of some of the features found on the 5DIII, and even the lower priced models such as the 70D, and Rebel T4i & T5i. Yes, that's true, but this Camera's Images paired with good lenses are equivalent to the more expensive Models. The Autofocus has worked well for Landscape & Portraits. It wouldn't be the choice for Sports or Fast Action. I'm not a Pro, but shoot a lot and have won a Competition, and do Portraiture. The Low Light/ High ISO capabilities of ths Camera are outstanding! I probably won't use the GPS much, but I have paired it with my IPhone to remotely shoot and review images. I do like the Vari-angle Screen on my T4i, but the remote app fixes that problem. I purchased a Tamron SP90mm 1:1 Macro for this Camera and have done 3 Portrait Shoots in the last Month with the Camera & Lens. The results have been better than I could have hoped for. I found this Camera on Amazon for $1587.00 which I thought was a smoking' deal. The Big Box Stores sell them for appx. $1900.00. (Body Only). I love this Camera!

I debated for a long time whether to go with the 5D Mark III or the 6D. For me, price was not the primary consideration, but I still went with the 6D and have not regretted it. I am lazy when it comes to lighting, and I also like to take concert pictures. The 6D is as good as it gets when it comes to auto-focusing in low light, and its image quality with high ISO is also very good. On top of that, the built-in wireless feature has come in handy a lot more than I thought it would. If you have an iPad or an iPhone, you will find the EOS Remote app is not just great for remotely activating the shutter. I use it mostly as a way to scroll through the images on the camera and view them on a larger screen (the iPad). This can be handy with tricky shots. You can take a couple of test shots and then view them to see if you got the exposure just the way you wanted it. I highly recommend the 6D. I will probably change my mind when the 5D Mark IV comes out in a year or two, but the 6D will hold me over until then.

Is the Canon EOS 6D worth it? I would say, yes, depending on where you are upgrading from. If you are coming from a Rebel series Canon camera like the T3i/T4i and looking to make the next jump up, the price for a full frame sensor just fell dramatically and you will be in love with this camera. If you currently are using a 5D Mark II, it's a tough sell as you are in another category of camera, and the 6D is only a marginal improvement over an existing 5D Mark II - unlike a 5D Mark III which is a pretty big improvement over the Mark II in a few key areas for wedding photographers (AF, Dual Slots, ISO, etc). For a wedding photographer, this camera would be a great choice for a second body at a great price compared to getting a 2nd 5D Mark III. With both cameras having the new DiGiC 5+ processor, the files come out very similar to one another and are easier to match colors while editing which is a huge bonus when you have thousands of wedding photos to go through (and a giant relief for video where color matching is a bit trickier). As a video camera I feel like it's a solid choice, and wedding videographers in particular will love this camera. The full frame sensor and ISO sensitivity mean you can still get a very usable image in dark settings, and unless you shoot a lot of outdoor wedding videos (Indian weddings for us are typically in hotels or banquet halls), you will appreciate this feature a lot! That said, the much cheaper Canon 60D (that's six-zero) which the 6D is based on does have these similar features (30 minute movies) for a much cheaper price just with a crop sensor inside and a bit less ISO performance, and would still make an excellent video camera. Overall, I would say this camera definitely gets a big thumbs up from me, getting a full frame camera with amazing ISO sensitivity for under 2 grand is a big deal and for our specific needs of dimly lit indoor weddings that is worth the premium over Canon's other recent crop-sensor cameras. If

I replaced my eos 50d with the 6d and I am really astonished about the big quality difference of the pictures, especially in low light conditions. The shift from the crop sensor to the full frame sensor is just great.The downside is the HDR modus with which I couldn't shoot good pictures yet, maybe it is also my own stupidness to use the camera correctly, but shooting in HDR doesn't seem to me to be rocket science.It is a great camera for photographers taking pictures in low light conditions and would like to have the benefits from a full frame camera enhancing the picture quality drastically compared to a crop sensor. For sport / fast moving scenes it is not the best choice due to the sole centric af sensor, what I knew before buying the cam and I also do not use the camera for. A plus is also the lower weight compared to the other full frame cameras, which is noticeable when you are out for street photography (excellent in combination with an ef 50mm 1,4). The ef 24-105 kit lens is great and deliver really sharp pictures. For my use: street photography and portraits the lens combination ef 24-105 and ef 50mm turned out to be the best, especially considering the total weight which you have to carry with your equipment and total invest. For snap shots I always carry with me a small compact camera (nikon aw 100) instead of taking out the "big gun".Coming to the customer service from Amazon.com, which - also if many of you think shouldn't be rated here - I want to rate and warn customers with credit cards from Europe:DO NOT USE THE OPTION FROM AMAZON TO PAY IN EUR SINCE AMAZON IS USING AN UNFAVORABLE CONVERSION RATE. I HAD TO PAY 80 EUR MORE THAN IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN PAYING IN $ BEING CHARGED LATER BASED ON THE CREDIT CARD COMPANY CONVERSION RATE.

Love it, decided to go to full frame after using T2i for a couple years. This thing is amazing. Using it with the 24-105mm and pictures look fantastic. Yes the GPS is cool but I usually turn it on only when I decide I need it, it is a bit of a battery hog. I do like the Wifi features, very handy. This camera is great and can't wait to get some use out it and will update after that. Also, the camera grip feels great and the camera itself is light. I read a lot of reviews before purchasing this, to help me decide on this, and so glad that this was my choice.

Selling my 7D to upgrade to a 6D was a hard decision for me to make (I ponder on this for a couple of months). In part because of the absolute ruggedness of the 7D, but also for some of the photographic features it has (8 fps, 19 cross-type autofocus points, etc.). I felt like I would lose a lot of features just for the full frame sensor.Things I don't like about the 6D:1. Very basic autofocus (I don't understand canon on this, this is a rebel AF in my opinion except for the center point)2. Lack of joystick to move autofocus point3. Button layout. I liked some of the buttons on the left like the 7d or 5DIII.4. Plastic camera top5. Plastic LCD screen cover6. 1/4000 sec max shutter speed7. SD card instead of CFMy style of photography is mostly people and some wide-angle as well. It is obvious that the 7D was designed for sports/wildlife photographers. My only major complain about the 7D is the poor ISO performance typical of APS-C sensor cameras, so I went for it and got the 6D.After a few weeks of using the 6D I think I made the best decision I ever made.Although the 7D focusing system seems superior, in practice I've seen that in my work this makes little to no difference.I can say that the IQ and ISO performance of the 6D is FAR superior to the 7D. Plus the depth of field and reclaiming my wide-angle is something that not a lot of us think it's important until you see it in a full frame camera.The 6D is slightly smaller and lighter than the 7D, but I see this as a good thing.The Wi-Fi is very useful and fun to use.I don't think I'm going to use the HDR and GPS functions, but it's good to know they are there.Fortunately I do have some Canon L glass and I've always regarded these lenses because they produce great pictures, but the combination of L glass and FF sensor is something entirely different and superb.My recommendation is ... if you have a 7D, and are thinking about a 6D and your style of photography fits a full frame camera, go for it! You will be rewarded!

Freaking amazing. Now at $1415, this is THE CHEAPEST FULL FRAME DSLR EVER.I spent about 2 months hemming and hawing between the Nikon D600 and the canon 6d (I'm a previous Canon T1i user), and stuck with the 6D. Absolutely do not regret. Amazing picture quality, great ergonomics, and tons of features to love. Tons of reviews on this camera out there, so just sticking to my experience with it.Have been using for a month and pictures are amazing. Photos using the 6D and Canon 35mm f1.4L are here:[...]As an amateur photographer who's been shooting for 3 years, I was ready for this upgrade and do not regret it one bit. The better noise sensitivity and spot on depth of field and focusing ability has dramatically improved my picture quality overnight. Love this camera.Those seriously considering full frame and prefer Canon, GET THIS ONE. Unless you're a professional - then you're probably not reading this anyway.

There are two reasons this camera doesn't get 5 stars:First the lens, while it is a good lens, not quite as nice as other L series lens, it has an issue with zoom creep. Within about 3 weeks of having the camera I had to send the lens to Canon because the lens creep go so bad it was hard to keep it at the same zoom level while shooting at any angle other than horizontal.Second issue for me is that the shutter/flash sync speed is only 180 which is a bit on the slower side.If I was to buy this camera again I would probably forgo the lens and spend the money saved on a prime lens or two that fit my needs.

There is much to say about this camera. it's incredibly light and easy to use. Best of all, check the Wi-Fi capabilities.I can shoot and control the entire process from my iPhone. Review shots and include them 'instantly' in my iPhone while removing the photos from the camera (saving space immediately). It becomes a hot-spot for your iPhone wherever you are (specially traveling).I will not go into describing the camera features as I am not a professional and tons of articles are available to anyone to see.I used dpreview.com side-by-side comparison before taking my decision and I do not regret it at all.Enjoy this camera and do not think twice as the kit-lense it comes with it's also a great ad-on. I got it for $2,000 USD at the end of the year.

Totally impressed with camera...... For years my main camera was the 7d after purchasing the 6d the full frame is incredible. Recently took 6d to NBA Hall of fame Springfield Mass. With my 24 to 70 I was able to shoot the dome shaped ceiling of inductees 12 pictures in one frame.
