Отзывы о Фотоаппарат Canon EOS 6D Body

I have been a hobby photographer for the last three years. I use my cameras on full manual, have done lots of studying, know my composition, etc. and felt that I was ready to upgrade to full frame. I initially wanted a nikon because I have one and was familiar with them, but the more research I did, I decided that this would be the best bang for my buck. I do not regret my purchase. A good photographer can take good photos even with an inexpensive camera, but this camera captures exquisite detail even in low light. I love it and it is a pleasure to use. I got it with the kit lens and also purchased the 85mm 1.8, and both are excellent lenses. The prime makes for fantastic portraits.

I've been a professional videographer/cinematographer (and sometimes photographer) for about 4 years now. I've been mainly shooting on the 7D for most of my career, and have shot a good bit on the Nikon D800. The 6D is a camera that I feel has the feature set I most care about. I love the GPS and WIFI features, those are really important for me, not for my professional work at this point, but more for my personal work. (Although I could see it being very useful for scouting new locations, etc.)The camera seems to have a nice build quality, and I like the fact that it is full frame. I wish Canon full frame DSLRs had the ability to auto detect and auto crop if an ASP-C lens was put on. As of now, Canon full frame DSLRs can't use ASP-C sized lenses. I think this is a shame and a waste. The Nikon D800 has the ability to use and leverage ASP-C sized lenses. (Canon, fix this please.)Another bad mark for the camera compared to the Nikon D800/600 is that it does not have the dynamic range, or the ability to pull and push highlights and shadows. Nor does it have the resolution. I didn't think this mattered until actually shooting on the Nikon D800, there is so much information in the shadows and highlights that I never had to shoot HDR. Never. I would shoot brackets, but never actually had to use more than one still to get the exposure I wanted.Besides those two ticks when compared to Nikon, its a solid camera. The WIFI function works great, although could be a bit better. Auto focus could be better.Other features I would want. The ability to shoot 3.5K video. An additional SD card slot. Audio monitoring. (I imagine these will all be in the 6D mark ii, which would get if they are.)

Pros:- Well-built solid feel- Lots of useful features (Wifi, GPS, leveling, HDR)- Low noise- Clean sensor (compared to Nikon D600, which has no oil issues, but still a lot more dust)- No issues with auto-focus points (in practice I got better results than with D600)Cons:- Ergonomics for adjusting ISO/Aperture could be better (very small push buttons near LCD display)- Built in noise-reduction for higher ISO tends to create red/green shading (pretty minor)- Too many stuck/hot pixels on sensor. I understand that stuck pixels are inherent to such sensors and can be dealt with during PP, but the two samples I tried had just too many (and partially visible during short exposures). On one sample one really large area "fixed" itself through - at least I assume - the camera's internal remap, but still too many remained. My main use for this camera was for low-light and night-time photos (utilizing it's excellent low-noise characteristics), but having that many stuck pixels out of the gate is a deal breaker (especially as they tend to accumulate with age - at least from my experience with other cameras).So a really good camera based on features and build-quality. But even putting the pixel issue I experienced aside, while it definitely offers better noise control than the APS-C Canon I wanted to replace, for me it did not yield a large enough improvement in image quality (maybe this is more a testament to the quality of the 18MP APS-C sensor).UPDATED 4/23/13: Upgraded to 4 stars. I tried another sample as my old camera is showing signs of age. While the issue with hot pixels persists, I decided that the amazing performance at higher ISO is too much of a game changer to be ignored (especially for action shots). And for longer exposures (> 1/4 sec) that will suffer from hot pixels, the long exposure noise reduction (basically takes a dark frame and subtracts from the first image) does a decent job (but at the cost of doubling your wait time until the next shot...).

I am an avid photographer and have owned a series of Canon cameras going back to film. Since going digital I really yearned for the ability to take wide angle photos again so I decided to I purchased a full frame digital camera. The 6D seemed like the perfect choice.I love this camera. It takes fantastic pictures. Has all the right features. I particularly like the relatively small size (compared to other full frame cameras).I'd highly recommend this camera for someone needing full frame digital.

Great image quality for a very reasonable price - this is my light weight, general photography/vacation camera, that paired with a Canon lens EF 50mmm f1.4 USM, covers family events, landscape, and is small in size and lightweight for a good price. I found the camera easy to shoot handheld at relatively low shutter speeds and focuses accurately in low light; when mounted on a tripod for night photography, I found digital noise levels in dark areas of my photos better than other cameras I had owned.

It is my second DSLR camera. My first camera was t2I which is not full frame. I love using 6d in low light. It has a really good ISO system. pictures will look great even with ISO higher than 25000. I totally recommend it. I used it now for almost 6 months.

First and foremost, the image quality of this camera is second to none. I am amazed every time I download the pictures to my computer. Even after close examination of the full size files compared to the 1Dx and the 5D mark III, the images are absolutely every bit as good. High ISO noise handling is superb. I've found it to be slightly better than the 5D, but just barely under the 1Dx.I have no problem with the focusing system at all. The center point in particular will focus in extremely low light. The other sensors are perfectly usable in anything but very dim lighting and are accurate enough for me to shoot close up headshots and portraits at f/2 and still get very sharp focusing on the eye. I love the smaller size of the body. It's a little lighter and more convenient to carry. I have really big hands, but the way the grip is designed makes it comfortable for me to hold. I generally don't use any preprogrammed modes, but a couple settings are really useful: Hand held night scene and hand held HDR. They work really well! The camera takes a series of shots and lines everything up perfectly. Its not as good as using a tripod, but if you don't have one on you or have time to set it up, its fantastic!I have no opinion of movie mode. I don't ever shoot video, but it does full HD, so that's cool too.The controls are well thought out and I actually like the placement better than my 7D. The only surprises I've found so far are that the shutter only goes up to 1/4000th instead of 1/8000th and the maximum strobe sync speed is 1/180th instead of 1/250th. I still give it 5 stars because those speeds are just fine. The only time I would ever need 1/8000th is if I were shooting in the brightest daylight possible at f/2. Hasn't ever been an issue in all my yeas of shooting.

Upgraded from a T3i to the 6D and am enjoying every minute. "Entry Level" Full Frame with many of the same features as the 5D Mk3 but WAY cheaper. You've already read all the other reviews so if you've finally got to mine, just go and get it! You wont regret it.

I absolutely love this camera! I definitely upgraded when I went from the Canon Rebel series to the EOS 6D. Doesn't have a flash, but I don't normally use one anyways due to trying to use natural light. This camera is costly, but worth every penny. I've been asked by several people what kind of camera I use.

When Canon announced it and after reading the specs was skeptical about this camera... It was so much different compared with the specs of his direct competitor. Now i decided to buy it and i don't regret at all.First of all... i was thinking... "only 11 AF points?"... But now i can say, i kind of miss all the AF Points of the 7D (the camera i had before this) but now i don't feel it as necessary. Yes, it has much less AF Points than the competitor but it is accurate and fast as those advanced AF systems. The only thing what i could take somethins as negative is how the AF points are located, too centralized, it could be good if those AF points was more spread around the viewfinder.Let's look at the ISO now... just spectacular... very low noise at high ISOs... At ISO25600 the photo is still very usable. Canon has made some of great sensors for this camera (and 5D MkIII/1DX), well done Canon.The weight is quite content to be a camera housing a 35mm sensor. It feel very comfortable. Back side buttons to me seems logical, everything is at the reach and fast configuration. In design i think it has nothing to claim.What i miss in this camera?I understand that this camera is targeted to enthusiast/amateur who want to upgrade to FF camera more than for pros that has their own studio with own lights configurations, so i think they should have put an built in flash instead of WIFI/GPS. The WiFI and GPS is a good addition and very nice to use (specially the WIFI) but i don't think it is more usable (or important) than a built in flash.Anyways... if you are already APSC canon shooter (asume having EF lenses) this is the logical upgrade if you have tight budget. For new buyer maybe the decision is though since the competitor has also a camera with much potentials.

I use my cameras mostly for wildlife photography and do quite a bit of telephoto shooting with 70-200, 300 and 600mm L lenses. I've been using an EOS 7d for several years and got this as a second camera. I understood that this full frame camera would not provide the level of magnification of my 7d, but saw other features that looked inviting enough to take the plunge. Unfortunately, the improved low light performance was the only one of these improved features that turned out to be worthwhile for me. The Wi-Fi capability that allows remote shooting with my iPhone is so awkward to set up that I do not use it. The autofocus is much slower than that of the 7d and I see no improvement in image quality with normal lighting. I would only recommend this camera to those who do a lot of wide-angle shooting in dim lighting and are not concerned with rapid focus.

It is very light, ergonomics, and give much higher quality pictures than any APS-C sensor and way better video than any Nikon. The placement of the buttons, and silent shutter are very nice features. 11 autofocus points are more than enough for most usage except for geeks who never take pictures but browsing the internet. The center autofocus is way more accurate and very good in low light than previous EOS.Wifi and GPS are bonus and very helpful to backup the files during shooting in wedding. Just buy 270EX flash with the kit 24-105mm L, you ready to go anywhere and get lovely pictures from travel and vacations.

I would have given a five star rating, but I was extremely disappointed that the 6D only accepts Canon EF mount lenses. If you have invested in EFS lenses, you won't be happy....trust me! This unit has a full frame sensor, WiFi (that is the complete bomb!), GPS and many other desirable features. The cons would be.....no built in flash, will not accept EFS mount lenses, only an eleven point focusing screen, and the shutter speed max's out at 1/4000. SO....now I wait until I win the lottery so I can buy EF mount lenses in the focal lengths I have EFS lenses currently.

Needed a full frame camera for wife's professional photography business. Tremendous improvement over Canon 50d with a cropped sensor. The full frame sensor and newer technology allows her to capture images in many more situations especially in lower light. This is great for newborn and indoor photography. Used with 50mm and 85mm fixed lenses. Only issues was adjusting to how you change focusing points, instead of the wheel scrolling around the circle it moves left/right with one wheel and up/down with the other. She got used to it and now prefers it. The other thing to be aware of with studio lights is there is no PC sync connector on the camera so you'll need a Wein safe-sync hot shoe adapter or a wireless setup like the Pocket Wizard TT1 + TT5. Found this out on a studio session but the camera worked so well indoor, using natural light, on an overcast day that the studio lights were not necessary.

This camera replaces my Canon 40D. The move from an APS-C to the full-frame sensor, plus all the upgrades of a 6D, has made a major quality improvement in my portraits. I would recommend it for many different uses.

I bought this body as a companion to my Rebel xsi. I have only had it a few months, but have used it extensively. It is a great camera, with many expanded features I am learning. The expanded ISO range was a primary reason for buying the 6D. It also gives me a full frame body, that fits my existing lenses since I bought EF lenses for my Rebel.

We are not professionals, but we do love photography. This camera surpasses all our needs. I love the low light ability!

Well before going into my opinion you should know that1. Upgrading from the t3i2. First Full Frame DSLR3. Year and a half of experience in photographyWith that being said I will start with buildIt is nice and weighted in my hands (kinda medium sized hands) The materials are nicer than cheaper DSLRs and took it out when it drizzled, nothing But with the kit lens it feels a bit heavy but for the results it produces its well worth it. No built in flash (cool with me because I never really liked it)Image quality,I think the ISO performance here is what steals the show. I hand hold this in very dark rooms and still can get a usable photo. The sharpness is amazing and colors come out fantastic. The Auto focus is great at finding what I want even though its only 11 autofocus points.FeaturesWifi is very cool but I can't review the smartphone feature due to the fact Canon doesn't have support app on the Windows phones yet or ever not sure if they are working on it. GPS is good but warning, both on will KILL the battery quickly. The battery does last a good long time. Taking constant photos I lasted a wedding without the battery losing a bar except I had the wifi and GPS function off. Also learned if you leave on the GPS it works with the camera off so there is that too. The silent shutter and silent burst shutter are actually quiet. I use it at a wedding with another photographer who was using a camera without a feature like this and that camera was 10x louder than mine. I have yet to test the HDR feature so I realize this isn't a complete review but using only basic knowledge with it for the first time I still got some amazing photos when it came to using it at a wedding.

I am really enjoying this camera. The high ISO is very clean and the menus are intuitive. This is not the 5D MkIII and it's not really mean to be but the image quality is pretty much the same. Well worth the money if you want full frame and are not looking for machine gun speed.

I bought this and returned it for a 5D mark III due to video moire and aliasing.If I didn't do video, It would have been perfect.

I researched this camera heavily and compared a lot to the 4 yr old 5d mark ii. It focuses well in low light using center point. I'm cool with the 1/4000, since i know how to compensate for it shooting wide open on a fast lens. I still would have preferred to buy a 7d type focusing body first (since I cant afford both). But I couldn't wait on a newer 7d with a new digic processor for better iso performance. So in short. I really love this camera. And I'm giving it 4 stars.The ONLY reason I'm taking off a star. Is because according to Canon, I'm not allowed to access the EOS remote app. And their not trying to help me. My guess is I'll have to get some kinda app to hide my ip or wait till i travel to the USA again. To install the app on my phone. I don't know what other countries this applies to.Here's what Canon said:"Dear David Madden:We appreciate your continued correspondence regarding the EOS Remote app for Android.This application is only available in some service areas. It may not be available for download in Jamaica. Unfortunately, I am unable to assist you in circumventing this restriction to download the application. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance with your EOS 6D. Thank you for choosing Canon.Sincerely,Technical Support Representative"

I recently upgraded to this camera from a Rebel T1i. Seriously, the best investment I've made in a while. I'm not doing photography professionally, so I can't justify spending 3k and more on a camera body, but this one is pretty awesome for the price.

I've been shooting Canon Rebels (XSi, T2i) for about four years and wanted to upgrade. The 6D came out at the perfect time as a full frame option. I looked at the 7D, which has an awesome autofocus system and is incredibly fast, but uses the same sensor at the T2i. I do a few paid photography gigs a year, none of which are sports related, so the speed of the 7D just wasn't necessary. I didn't really look at the 5D Mark II very much because of the age of the technology, and the Mark III was just out of my price range.I waited a few months until the hands on reviews came in before making my final decision. I've pretty much come to the same conclusion as everybody else. Great sensor, nice build, nice size, wifi is a nice option, but the autofocus isn't great. It's a slight step up from my T2i, although the center point focusing is much better in low light. ISO performance is pretty amazing, that's where this camera really shines for me.Overall I think this camera is a nice semi-professional step up for photo enthusiasts. Controls are fairly simple and make sense. Coming from a Rebel-series or even the 60D series makes sense. The image quality gets a huge boost with quality glass compared to the crop sensors. But anybody coming from the 7D series will be greatly disappointed by the speed and autofocus. If you can afford the Mark III, get the Mark III. If you can't this, this makes a great affordable full frame option.

Wow - having upgraded from the Canon Rebel XTi crop sensor camera, I am blown away by this EOS 6D, especially the high ISO capability for low light, WiFi, and GPS. The move from the Rebel XTi to the EOS 6D feels like the difference between night and day - like the move from a compact camera to SLR.But the main thing I want to clarify is just how easy it is to send photos directly to email or Facebook if you have an Apple iPhone. Contrary to what others are saying, you don't need to go through the Canon Bridge website. Upon establishing a direct WiFi connection via the EOS Remote iPhone app, choose Camera Image Viewing and then you can scroll through all the photos on the camera. Next, here's the shortcut: simply touch the save-to-phone icon on the lower bottom left, and the image will be saved to your iPhone camera roll. From the camera roll, it is easy to send via email or post to Facebook via the iPhone integrated menu. The images saved to the iPhone are automatically reduced to S2 size (1920x1280). There's no need to set up Canon Bridge or other extra steps if you have an iPhone.

I am new to this level of camera though I have been a Canon person for more than 30 years, starting with the superb Canon A-1.The one regret I have of this camera is that I cannot blame the camera if my pics come out funny.Mind you, I am using the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L lens as well as the 70-200 f 2.8 lens, so the results obviously need to credit these lenses also, but the ease, functionality, "feel" of the camera is fantastic. And Canon have retained all primary functions, so a person used to Canon cameras will be instantly at home.While all (and more settings then I would ever need) are easily set by pressing or rotating a few knobs and wheels, there is one button which when pressed displays all salient settings. Not only are they displayed, but one can also change them from this screen. VERY USEFUL, especially as I have not mastered all locations where I can change them, and if in a hurry, I can easily change settings through this function.Bit on the pricey end (I consider myself an advanced amateur), which essentially means its tough to justify this expenditure, but I am so glad that I did.

You have to see the images to believe it. Compared to APS-C the images are definitely a level higher. Images have a magical 3-D appearance.VERY happy with my 6D.

I love this camera. The only issue I have and that stops the 5 star is that it trickles poewer out of the battery even when set to off. I have to remember to remove the battery if not in use. That is a pain. Other than that it has great image quality and magical low noise at high ISO.

I work, part-time, as a professional photographer. I was in the habit of carrying two 7Ds. However, I was interested in the 6D and read some reviews. They were not all positive. Bought this item slightly used and I was pleased with the price. First, even high quality SDXC cards are cheaper than the CF cards required by the the 7D. Granted the 7D has a much better burst rate, but I shoot sports with a couple of bursts at best. Easily able to capture serious sports motion. Clarity of the images is remarkable, even better than the 7D . . . so long as the user buys good glass. For me, I stick with the L-series.This unit is AMAZING in low light. In an auditorium, I use a 70-200mm f 2.8 coupled with a Canon 600 flash. I can easily shoot at 250 to 320 ISO and get plenty of illumination. On the other hand, I shot a night, minimal ambient light, image at 6400 ISO, used some denoise software and have a great image.

This review is for: Canon EOS 6D 20.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD and EF24-105mm IS Lens KitHaving received the EOS-6D last week, after one thousand shots, I am very satisfied with it. Again!!!. I felt the same about my previous Canon digital SLRs, starting with D30 in 2000, D60 in 2002, Rebel XT in 2005, pre-owned EOS-1Ds in 2005, Rebel XSi in 2008 and EOS-60D in 2011. With my new full-frame 6D, I am retiring my dependable but bulky work-horse 1Ds. As a hobbyist, I just could not justify getting the EOS 5D Mark III, another great camera. Oh, I have also owned many Canon point-and-shoot cameras, currently using PowerShot S95, another great low-light camera.I agree with the previous positive reviews for 6D. I particularly like its amazing low-noise sensor for low-light shooting. But also, it takes great shots in other lighting conditions. I like the easy-to-use preset modes. And HDR does a great job for me, without the tedious editing of the multiple bracketed shots.Over years, I have accumulated many EF lenses, but I did not have the EF 24-105mm IS, so I decided to get it from Amazon in a bundle with the 6D, I felt that it was a pretty good deal (for this timeframe...). I like the lens a lot.I highly recommend this camera!

I really like the camera. It meets all my needs and is my first full frame digital camera which I really missed.

How could you not love this camera?If you have the budget, the 5D Mark III is obviously better, but a lot more expensive, too. The wireless and GPS functions on the 6D are awesome!! It was so perfect on vacation, viewing photos on my phone after a day of shooting, picking my favorites, cropping/adjusting on the phone if needed, and uploading to facebook. Contrast this with waiting a week until I got home, then spending hours to go through all the photos at once.My three favorite features: full-frame sensor, large and bright viewfinder, low noise with high ISO settings.I even like the 24-105 f/4L lens. I wasn't sure if I would, since I'm used to fast primes (85 f/1.2L, 28 f/1.8) but I enjoy the quality zoom lens. So much better than the plastic 18-55 on my old t2i body.The GPS is something I'm still learning about. I've had some dead batteries--I think due to leaving GPS on. So I'm turning it on/off each time I used the camera now.If you really want an in-depth review go to dpreview, which is where I research the 6D before buying. [...]

Canon has built up a very reputable name for itself over the years. I bought this for my company to shoot video. I actually wanted to buy a pro video camera, but the company's budget wouldn't allow for it. So my two colleagues and I went to work researching other cameras. We looked at the Canon 5D Mark II as well. Finally, we settled on this one. We also bought a Zoom H4n to get pro mic audio into this thing, and we bought a couple 64GB cards to use with it. To be honest, we haven't had time to really put it through the paces. But we will! I'm giving it a good rating just based on Canon's name and the research we did on this unit, which shows that it should perform well for shooting video. This replaces one of our Sony PD150 SD video cameras which shoots on DV tape. So, this is quite an upgrade for us. I may come back and update this review later.

Super performance especially in low light. I replaced my 1DS II with this kind of wondering if I'd be happy.THe only thing I can say I don't like about it is the size coming from being a 1D/5D user. It definitely "feels" smaller (which is probably consistent with the "feels cheap" description that many are writing about. Worth every nickel.

I would expect any new SLR I buy to be the best camera I've ever had, the way technology is improving these days. But given how manufacturing can vary and design can be unpredictable, that's perhaps not always a great assumption.But with this camera, I find it quite usable. The photographs are outstanding! I'm coming from a Canon 30D, which was no slouch. But the 6D is head and shoulders above in quality. The sharpness is very very nice to see. The automatic colors without white balancing are still quite accurate.The camera and lens are pretty heavy for the "lightweight" characterization people are giving it. This is a solid camera. Without the lens, the body still has plenty of heft. You don't want this camera for casual shooting. The size and heft mean you have to make the decision, "I'm going to shoot some photographs," to use this camera. But what photographs! I'm delighted.I read in depth the various expert reviews. They provide more detailed analysis. I can just say that I have no regrets.

I bought my 7D shortly after it came out, and I loved it. It is a fantastic camera and was instrumental in teaching me so much about photography (and DSLR videography).I'd been hankering after a full frame for quite some time, but couldn't justify the expenditure, until the 6D was announced.I bought it (got it secondhand here on Amazon, so I got a great deal - it arrived in 'as new' condition from someone who had a review model), and I couldn't be happier with it.I read up extensively before buying so I was aware of the fact that it doesn't shoot as many frames per sec as the 7D, and that the autofocus might not be quite as good, but that didn't put me off. And since buying I've barely noticed any diff in the two.But the difference in picture quality is amazing. In the first week after getting it I had five photos on Flickr's Explore page! Outstanding.I love the 6D.If you want to see an in-depth review of the 6D, I can recommend Ken Rockwell's one [...] - I have no affiliation to Ken, but his review certainly helped me to decide to get this camera.

After Iraq, I purchased and have used every Rebel camera up until the Rebel T4i. I am currently serving in Afghanistan and wanted to upgrade to a full-frame camera and the experience that I have had thus far with this bad boy is unfathomably improved from my previous Rebel experiences.The built-in features of wifi and GPS are what made the sale for me on the 6D instead of the 5D Mark III. The extra $1,000 just wasn't justified when I would have had to add $600-$700 worth of accessories to achieve the same functionality from the Mark III.Using this baby in the heat and dusty environment of Afghanistan is really impressing me to say the least. I make sure to change my lenses in an enclosed environment so as to not allow any dust into the camera.I still have another couple of months left to put this 6D through its paces over here, but so far, so very very good.

I work professionally as a cinematographer and I work with Red and a lot of other cameras. Point taken on some of the moire issues--however keep in mind that the 5DMKII also uses the same processor and had moire issues also--and that didn't stop it from being used on studio pictures and utilized by pros the world round. The fact that this camera can be had for $1600-$1800 range, shoots ALL-I, is a full-frame camera and is $1500 less than the 5DMKIII--this is a no-brainer. The 5DMKIII is a beautiful camera--but it also has issues. The process used to "reduce" moire in camera gives you a slighting less sharp picture in our testing. Once again, no camera is perfect. Love the 6D so much--the only thing Canon needs to do is start adding articulated lcds on their pro cameras--thats what is so great about cameras like the 60D. While the 60D is a crop sensor camera, the LCD allows for a quick way to do low and high angle shots without stacking your Marshall monitors, etc. on it. Anyways, excellent camera.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Went from a Canon 50D and this does such a better job with the low light noise. That was worth the upgrade for me alone. So far - so good!

I was previously shooting with 5D II and 7D. When I opened the 6D box and picked up the body, my first thought..."I'm not going to like this camera". It felt small in my hand and the screen looked small (maybe because there are fewer controls on the back of the camera)? Within an hour, I was ok with the size (most people will prefer the size over the 5D/7D). The view finder seems super bright and the 3" screen looks fantastic. I shot many photos at ISO 6400 and 12800 and I'm shocked how good they look. I'm extremely happy with the image quality. If you like to shoot with available light and need to push the ISO > 3200, you're going to love this camera. If you read a lot of complaints about the AF but don't shoot sports photography, I wouldn't worry too much. My real world experience is the AF is fine.Likes:Image qualityHigh ISO performanceBuild qualityChanges I would like:I'd prefer a 3.2" screenI miss the joystick from the 5D/7D a littleI was thinking I would have this camera for 6 - 12 months and then upgrade to a 5D III...after spending some time with the 6D, I think it will be in my bag for much longer.

Before this camera , I had 5D mark ii , a better camera , the matrix metering never fail , also had 40 D , matrix metering excellent also . I will sell this camera , and buy the 5D mark III because had the profesional matrix metering that a Camera over 2000 dls should use . The matrix metering fail at night , and in Aruba, daytime, I shoot 100 photos , had to correct more of the 90 % of the photos , minimun correction but I prefer my old 5D mark II that never had this problem . I use RAW , and most of the photos need corrections of 0.33 to 1.33 , this camera is not for profesional peoples .Also the camera need to be taller , I had 85 mm 1.2 II and the camera rest in the lens , also the Canon designer touch the ISO position and is very unconfortable to use , and is the most important for me to use and be in the right position .1000 dls MORE for a 5D mark III , I will took it like a investment . All my Canon cameras and lens had never dissapoint me . It's a good camera this 6D , But I expect a perfect camera from Canon .

I was a long time 35mm camera photographer and first stepped into the digital DSLR world with the half frame 30D. The 6D was the right price range for me to step up to full frame and I love it. I'm just used to the full frame focal length. The pictures are stunning with the 24-105L lens and I also like using the 50mm f/1.4 as well especially now that it is a true 50mm on the full frame camera. I just got the 17-40L lens and love the pix from it as we'll. I also have stepped up to Aperture and Adobe Lightroom. Lightroom is an especially powerful tool for making lens corrections and finalizing the photos for spectacular results. I have been so involved in still photography that I haven't even tried to shoot the first video yet.

I have been shooting with a t1i for years and loved it. I shoot raw and full manual and could get what I wanted in nearly all conditions. Or so I thought. As I got better and wanted to push the camera further, I was more and more frustrated by the low light performance. It was time to upgrade. I tried the t4i, but got a lemon at first. The 2nd t4i worked as it should and has some sweet bells and whistles, but the image quality is identical to my t1i. That nifty swively touchy screen is just not worth the money if my images are still noisy at high ISO. it went back and I saved up and bought the 6d with kit 24-105. Now I can crank that ISO up as high as I like! It's as though it's asking for the challenge. Obviously, in super low light and crazy high ISO, there is noise, but images that would have been unusable before are easily fixed in Lightroom or left as is. I like a little good noise now and then.

The Canon EOS 6D is - even though some people see it differently - the best choice for all Photo & Videographers that don't have a budget to pay the 5DMKIII or even more. If you are interested in making videos, don't even think about the NIkon D600, you won't have fun cause you CAN NOT change any aperture or shuttertime settings in liveviewmode! I know, the missing headphone jack and the one SD Card slot are bad choices made by canon to differenciate it from the MKIII, also the 97% viewfinder and the 11 point AF-System are kinda disappointing. But, nevertheless, the AF works out just awesomely fast, and if you shoot 80% of your photos with the central AF Point you'll be totally satisfied! Moreover the lowlightperformance of the 6D even matches the 5DMKIII in some points.You won't regret this buy.

After reading the reviews from Amazon and other sites. I chose this camera based on the fact that it is great in low light. I often shoot at concerts and needed something a little better than the Canon 60d. This camera is amazing even at ISOs of 12800 there is hardly any noticeable noise. Having owned a 5d a t2i and a 60d, this camera is a far superior product. The hidden bonus of this camera are the wifi and GPS. A 1000 upgrade to the 5dmkIII ,which even as Ken Rockwell points out, is essentially the same camera. I can live without the extra card slot or the the extra Custom function for the cost. In addition to the Camera I also purchased the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AVBDGHM/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_4 extra battery which works just as great as the Canon brand and the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWLRLYK/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3 battery grip. The grip is a slightly different camera, but I have never had a problem with Meike grips.Canon 6d, 24-70L 2.8, 70-200 f4 is, 50mm 1.4,

Having used both camera's, I can say this barring you need all 20000 AF-points of the 5D3, the 6D well worth the look. I shoot weddings that are mostly in low light. I haven't had to roll out the flash once and no grain at 6400 pretty much says it all. I also do lifestyle and fashion photos too.It is a lighter 5D3 and it's also light on the wallet too. Put that extra cash towards a nice lens.Also a lot of the f4 lenses compliment this because of the low light capabilities. Wi-Fi is a nifty feature that I'm really digging. Geo-Tagging is awesome too!I plan to get a backup 6D next year and that will hold me over for quite some time unless I move to medium format (which is coming down but not low enough.Most of my 5d3 comrades are ticked because they could've saved the cash and pick this one up.Get this camera and enjoy it...I'm 100% sure you will

I upgraded from a T3i. The two things I wish this camera had:A. Ability to trigger off camera flashB. More cross-type AF pointsThe label on the mode dial selector fell off too, easy fix, but, only if you're aware where/when it falls off. Otherwise, great camera. Low-light performance is sick!

So many things I want to bring up as to why I made the switch. Friends told me to hold out for the 7d MK 2. I didn't listen and I won't regret it. My photos are a huge improvement from what I was getting with my 7D. Yes the 7D was awesome. Much better than a 60D or a T rebel series camera, but yet I always felt it was a bit lacking. Video was noisy and choppy. ISO was noisy over 800. The 7D did feel a bit more secure in my hand and I have fairly average sized hands. The resell value of a 7D is pathetic. My 17-40 f4 L lens is nearly a fisheye on the 6D with the full frame. I like the viewfinder better on it as it's brighter for me to see through. I had the money to get a 5D mk3 but I opted save the cash for something else. The benefits of the 5D mk3 are not enough for me to shell out the cash. I could keep going on but frankly you'll read other comments and see why the 6D is the right choice for you if you want a top shelf camera for a mid shelf price.

Okay, a full frame for 2 g's... most afforbale one out there. amazing build and quality. if you're upgrading from a rebel or even a 7D or 60D... you won't believe even the feel of this camera. its great! plus if you like sharing your photos ASAP on instagram... the wifi is freaking awesome!
