I‘ve been shooting with the Canon 40D for the past 6 years so that’s my point of reference. I’m an advanced amateur and use the following Canon lenses: 70-200mm f/4L, 50mm f/1.4, 24-105mm f/4L and 17-40 f/4. I don’t use the camera for video and can offer no comments on that function so there is no need to read further if video is your main interest.OVERALLI guess the bottom line question is if I had it to do all over would I still buy the 6D? The answer is In a heartbeat! I'd be surprised if there is a camera on the market capable of producing better quality images. The 6D is well built, very customizable and the controls are user friendly. I'm sure a very granular analysis will find faults and there are good reasons other cameras cost more but if I can't produce eye popping images with this camera the problem isn't the equipment.BUYING THE CAMERAI purchased the 6D with kit lens from Amazon using my Amazon Visa Signature Card. This credit card (1) doubles the Canon warranty on both the camera and lens at no cost (2) gives you 90 days to return the equipment to VISA provided it works and isn’t damaged. Most people don’t know about these benefits. Call VISA for full details but I can tell you from experience they are very easy to deal with if you have problem.MISC INFOAdobe Lightroom has not been updated for the 6D as of this writing (Dec 12, 2012) so it can’t read the RAW files. Hard to say when they will update but it’s likely for be a few months.THINGS I REALLY LIKELow light AF is absolutely amazing! (Canon says it’s the best they have ever offered.)Image quality is superb…. even low light images.The automatic and semi-automatic modes produce excellent images even in complex lighting situations.GPS and WiFi are nice to have features and work well.I like the controls on the 6D better than the 40D. The camera is very customizable and the controls make using the features the camera offers easy.The Camera recognizes the lens and corrects for aberrations.THINGS I DON’T LIKE SO MUCHI’m not a big popup flash guy but without it the 6D can’t serve as a wireless master controller for slaved flashes like the 7D which uses the popup for that purpose. That would have been a very nice feature for strobists like me. Also having a little fill flash that is always on the camera comes in handy on occasion.Shutter (4000) and flash sync (180) speeds have been reduced from the 40D. It shouldn’t be a problem but I don’t like idea of dialing back speeds.MORE LATERIt takes me awhile to really learn my camera. In the coming weeks I’ll be reading and rereading the manual, using every feature and shooting under different lighting conditions. I’ll update periodically.

I was in doubt between buying this camera and Canon 5D Mark III which is about 1000 Euros more expensive. After reading around on internet I chose Canon 6D. I have this camera for 4 months (and I took about 2000 photos) and I am very happy with it. Together with the 24-105 lens it delivers an excellent performance. Very sharp images, great colors!I find its extra functions compared to Canon 5D Mark III, such as WiFi and GPS are very useful. Definitely good choice for which I do not regret at all.I have been reading reviews on internet comparing both 6D and 5D Mark III. All reviews have a common highlight that 5D Mark III has better auto focus system than 6D. Unfortunately, I did not have hands on experience with 5D Mark III to compare its AF with 6D. What I can tell as a prosumer is that 6D has quite good AF system. Even if 5D Mark III has better AF system than 6D, I doubt that it is worth 1000+ bucks unless your job constraints you.

First, let me say that I love this camera. This is my first full frame digital SLR, and so far I am very pleased. I used canon 35mm film cameras in the past, and after upgrading to digital, was a bit disappointed in the image quality I was getting from APS-C sensor cameras (EOS Rebel models). The 6D quality is back to what I had come to expect from film cameras.The 6D's strengths are its full frame, 20.2 megapixel sensor, and it low light capabilities. As far as low light, it not only is good at focusing in low light conditions, but the images shot in low light, at high ISO speeds, have exceptionally low noise compared to the cropped sensor cameras I've used.If I had to mention a weakness, it would be the 6D's focusing speed and accuracy while shooting action, although I don't think it's as bad as I first thought. Right now, I'm shooting a lot of high school football and I've been using the dedicated sports mode (and it's very odd for me to shoot in any fully auto mode). I will say, the dedicated sports mode must adjust multiple settings related to focusing speed and accuracy because I don't seem to be able to get the same results using the AI SERVO auto focus mode alone. I have been very pleased at the results of using sports mode at night football games.Overall, I am very pleased with the quality of the images I'm getting from this camera, especially in low light conditions.

I'm writing this review to an audience that has done some research and is somewhat familiar with the specs of this camera and the often compared to Nikon D600. I received the Canon 6D today and am absolutely in love with it. I'll spare the superlatives on the obvious, e.g., low light capabilities, image quality. I expected that. The written about shortcomings - AF, lack of a spare card, lack of a swivel screen, no built-in flash to me were all brilliantly designed to keep the camera small, light and relatively low cost.AF - I much prefer that the single cross type AF point works well than have a bunch that are mediocre and the one in the 6D is super fast at extremely low light. (I shot with the Nikon D300s, known for its AF for a couple years and stopped using tracking with continuous shooting after a month because only a 2 out 6 shots were in focus.)Single memory card - yeah, two is better than one but the space/weight saved makes sense for the overall goal of keeping the camera small and light. Wonder if wifi could be used to backup almost real-time somewhere?No swivel screen - are you serious? a smartphone or tablet connected to the camera via wifi is 1000 times better than a swivel screen. This design is sturdier, cleaner looking, easier to weather proof and way more of an enabler for creative ideas, e.g., limitless vantage points! The counter from D600 users is that you can buy a wifi adapter for however much but that is a bulkier and less elegant of a design.No buit-in flash - my guess is if you're the type that appreciates the image quality of a FF camera, you'd appreciate the benefits of an external flash. I appreciate the weight and size of the camera every single time I use it, while I am disappointed 1% of the time for not having a built-in flash. I'll take that trade off.Couple things I haven't seen written about too much, 1) the layout and design of the quick menu was extremely well implemented (been using the fuji x100 for awhile and was worried a DSLR would seem clumsy without the dials but the Q menu mitigated that), 2) the silent shutter is a pleasure to use (can't describe it but it gives you a feeling that every aspect of the shooting experience was well thought out.).A bunch of other positive things written about by other reviewers I find to be true as well. Handles great. Nice big and bright viewfinder. Build feels solid. Magnificent LCD...

The image quality and high ISO performance from this camera will blow you away. My first impression was that it is a full 2 stops better than my 7D; to be conservative, I will say a stop and a half. Other reviewers have put this sensor at roughly equal to the 5DMK3. I am not sure how it compares to the 1DX, but the fact that we can even ask that question tell you how good this camera is. (The 1DX costs 3 times as much.)At the highest ISO settings, the 6D will take images of things I can barely see. They will not be "fine art" quality, but if you think that Bigfoot is throwing rocks at your cabin in the middle of the night, this camera could make you famous. In slightly brighter conditions, this allows you to use a faster shutter and/or smaller aperture to get the same exposure. Most of the best shots, indoor or out, happen in less than "daylight" conditions.The controls on this camera are simpler and easier to use than the 7D, without giving anything up. (Who really needs a dedicated picture style button?) I also like the locking mode dial, having ruined a number of pictures over the years by brushing this dial on my coat, gloves, camera bag, etc.The built-in GPS is a cool feature, but you should know that it uses power even when the camera is off. My battery went from 97% to 70% overnight, with the switch turned off.I was a little disappointed with the autofocus screen, not so much because of the number of focus points, but their arrangement. I would like to see them extend closer to the edges and corners of the frame, rather than clustering in the center. To be fair, this arrangement is pretty much standard. The 6D is very similar to the 5Dmk2, but with greater low-light sensitivity.This camera is offered with the 24-105L as the kit lens. This is one of the most popular and highly-rated lenses of all time, and in the kit it is real bargain.For me, the 6D is a good complement to the 7D. The 7D has a terrific AF system and gives greater reach to a telephoto lens, while the 6D provides more wide-angle options and superb low-light capability. The 6D is marketed as an "entry level" full frame camera, but I know that many pros are MORE concerned than some enthusiasts about getting a return on their camera dollar. I predict that you will see a lot of pros (who aren't shooting sports) look very closely at this camera.

I bought the 6D in February with the f/4 L kit lens. It was my first L lens. I was astonished by the images and the sharpness and contrast. Then I picked up the 100mm f/2.8L macro lens and it has become my favorite. A few comments about pros and cons. I have several Canon APS C cameras and this is my first full frame. For sports photos I still prefer my D50 with at least 6fps continuous. I do not consider the 6D 4fps a con. Sports continuous shooting does not require 20MP. News papers do not publish high resolution images. I am still experimenting with customizing my buttons. This camera is just so much fun to play with.OK, pros:The AF system works in the dimmest light.The SDHC is as good as the older CF memory and much less expensive.I do not miss pop-up flash at all. Flash should be taken off camera anyway.The fit and finish of the 6D is excellent.The less noisy shutter does not frighten small animals and insects for Macro work.The white balance is a pleasure to work with.The larger pixels on the sensor are less noisy than APS C sensors.Now cons:The WiFi and GPS are just gimmicks. I have only used the WiFi with a laptop for time-lapse but that was always possible with a USB cable.The D6 is a little too light for L lenses and I worry about the camera/lens mount.I am irritated with warnings when using non-Canon batteries. After all, canon sometimes ships Panasonic or Polaroid batteries with their cameras.Overall, I love this camera and I would recommend it to others. Necessary accessories are a sturdy tripod, a SpeedLight, a remote RC shutter release, and an open mind.Dennis,Thousand Oaks, CA

Very powerful performance in low light conditions and great image quality, like already stated in all reviews I've read before purchase it. The main downside aspect, in my opinion, is the lack of built in flash, which would be very useful for fill in light in backlit portraits (I've already missed it). The HDR is only useful for still landscape shots, because in portraits only a slight movement of the subject (eyes, mouth) results in a blurred final photo. In this aspect, the better dynamic range of Nikon D600/610 is more useful.

I have owned a T3i, 60D, 7D and a 5Dmkii and I have to say that this 6D is truly amazing! I am charging the battery right now, but I had to pop it in for a few test shots just to see how it works in low light situations. I am in a room with only one tiny lamp on and I have been able to catch focus with all 11 focus points and the images are sharp. I will note that the center point does find focus the fastest and in very LITTLE light!I will write more as I explore it, but right now its already better in low light than the 5dmkii! I was debating between a 7D, 5dmkii or another 6D for a backup..... after tonight I am leaning very much towards a 2nd 6D as a backup! But i do like the extra reach that the 7D would provide and the insane ruggedness of it.The only issue is that I have 3 CF cards that wouldn't be used. But i do have 2x 32GB SD cards and 1x 16GB SD card that will work for the time being. I liked the fast focusing of the 7D but in all honesty I wasn't all that impressed with its low lighting quality....which was better on the 5dmkii. The fact that the 6D can go to even higher ISO's with little noise is going to come in very handy.The kit lens is great as well... with the IS, i can hand hold in almost no light with no flash.My main items are portraits, walk around and landscape.in my bag I have a 6D, (6D, 7D or 5Dmkii as a backup), 17-40L F4, 24-105L F4 IS, 50 F1.4, 85 F1.8, and 70-200L F4 IS, 2x 430exii speedlights::EDIT 1/6/2013::I have played around with the wifi and the EOS ap on my iPhone... Pure genius! I can view all the pics on my camera right on my phone and i can control the camera by just my phone from across the house.It has also be decided that as soon as Amazon gets the Body only camera in we will be buying another 6D as our backup.::EDIT 1/22/2013::I am now hesitant about a 2nd back up 6D as the non-canon brand batteries issues is a pretty big deal. $60 for a single battery where $24.99 could get you two Wasabi batteries AND a charger. putting the wasabi battery in my 6D effective dumbed it down... the battery i mean. it can no long display a battery charge level on my 7D nor in the charger. Hopefully the 5dmkiii doesnt have this issue!

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...).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
