I've had my 6D for a little over 5 months, and to sum up, I love it. It is an amazing camera.It may not have the 5 billion focus points of the 5DmkIII, or 75 frames per second of the 1D X, but for what this camera is, it is fantastic. Pictures are amazing, and video is pretty much excellent. The auto focus is fast and reliable. And having GPS and WiFi is a nice perk.Is the camera perfect? No. Some people will want more focus points... or a second card slot... but for most people these just aren't going to be real issues. If you've got your camera setup right you only need one good focus point, and if you are buying reliable memory cards of sufficient there is no need for multiple slots. Sports photographers may want more frames per second, but for everyone else this camera is more than fast enough.Having a few features migrate up from the 70D would be nice too. Its ability to auto-focus while shooting video and the touch-to-focus feature of that camera would definitely be nice to have. Having used both, I can see where those features are nice to have.The only other things that would make this better would be if Canon were to figure out how to get rid of the moire pattern in video (not an issue if you are in control of what your subject is wearing, and you don't shoot video against brick walls) and if the GPS didn't continue to drain the battery when the camera is powered off. It would also be nice to be able to use WiFi while shooting video too, but that is far from being a deal-breaker.But most people looking at the 6D are doing so because they want the benefits of full-frame... higher image quality, lower noise, the ability to shoot good quality pictures in low light, and a shallower depth of field. In all of these areas the 6D definitely delivers the goods.For what it's worth, DXOMark.com found that the 6D has very slightly better image quality than the 5DmkIII. So if you're hesitating on a 6D because you fear that the mkIII produces better images, don't... its extra two megapixels are completely meaningless.If you're on the fence, just get it. You won't regret it.

I received the camera a few days ago.What's Good?The Canon 6D is an upgrade from my well-performing and well-built Canon 20D. The 20-megapixel raw images are clear and accurate. I have not yet tried JPEGs. I also appreciate the multitude of options in the Basic Zones. In limited testing, the camera performed well at high ISO settings--one of the 6D's selling points.What's Not So Good?I took away one star for the following reasons: (1) Canon didn't even provide an SD card. For $1899, I would have expected an SD card. I realize that people who would buy this camera probably upgrade from a camera with an SD card, but many of Canon's older cameras use CF cards. Yes, an SD card is inexpensive; therefore, the lack of an SD card is worth 0.1 star. (2) Canon should have provided an on-camera flash as does Nikon. Yes, an external flash is superior, but this is a prosumer camera and prosumers sometimes need a flash for a candid picture.Don't let the loss of one star dissuade you. I've been a fan of Canon products for many years and I will probably continue to buy Canon products.Update August 10, 2013I've been using the camera for a bit over a month and have taken about 600 pictures. I shoot almost exclusively raw. I use a flash infrequently with this camera. The low-light picture quality is very good. There is some noise in low light, but I expected that. Pictures taken with bounce flash look fine.The camera focuses quickly, and it captures a lot of detail even with less-than-ideal lighting.I shot some JPEGs. They look somewhat soft, but the JPEGs would be fine for web pages that do not require a lot of detail. I prefer to create my own JPEGs from raw images.The automatic white balance works well outdoors. Sometimes, I have to perform white balance correction in Aperture or Photoshop to account for indoor lighting.I've used the Wi-Fi capability in both peer-to-peer mode and in infrastructure? mode to transfer pictures to an iPad. It works as indicated in the manual. If you understand how to set up a Wi-Fi network, you will not experience any problems using these features.The camera works well in burst mode with raw images. I haven't measured the limits, but it's fine for my needs. I am using a Delkin 633x 16GB card. This card is made in Japan.The video doesn't continuously focus, and the manual confirms this fact. I don't shoot much video, so this was not a factor in my decision to purchase this camera.Overall, I am glad that I saved $1,000+ by purchasing the 6D as opposed to the 5D Mark III.

"UPDATE"...Its laughable how consumers purchase products/ invest $$$$ and then fail to critique the product for what it can or can't do. Just the facts folks..full frame sensor cameras are limited to the laws of physics and do not out perform APS-C cameras in certain situations. These reviews are for individuals which have NOT purchased the product and are weighing on the pros & cons..not for people which have already purchased the product and want to FEEL GOOD by talking up their purchase/give unhelpful reviews because it does not confirm their beliefs....That said, I can't say enough about the capabilities of this camera in low light, however if you use flash to set the exposure and/or shoot in situations where ISO is 100-800 you would be wasting your money on this camera. Especially between 100-400 ISO no differences in photo quality even up to large prints.. Contrary to popular opinion there is no Bokeh advantage for full frame sensor cameras. To make up the difference you just use a shorter focal length on your APS-C camera to get the same results. For example, using a 50-150mm zoom for an aps-c body comes within a whisker of replicating focal length an bokeh effect of the 70-200mm on a full frame camera body. If you dont believe me then check out the DOF at: [...]But I must say it amazes me that ISO 25800 is usable... 25800 on the 6d compares to between ISO 3200-6400 on my 50d/APS-c sensors. The High Dynamic Range function is very nice for landscapes.. Almost renders graduated ND filters obsolete..The focusing sensativity in low light is amazing as well. Situations where i would have to focus manually with my 50d, but not the 6d. In Fact it so good it stretches my imagination to think of real world situations where i would need to manually focus (other than macro or astro photography)

I am coming from 6-7 years of using a Canon T2i + 18-135, 85mm (and occasionally a pro friend's L lenses) and mastered the manual side of the camera. I could get some great pictures out of that camera but clearly was ready to invest in something nicer, particularly for indoors -- while the speed light and getting a custom white balance setting helped, I still didn't love any indoor shots...with 4-6 mos of winter, that's important to me. I researched and hemmed and hawed, and actually decided to buy the Nikon D7100. To my great surprise, I could hardly get a shot from this popular camera that was better than my T2i. In fact, it had way worse noise at higher ISOs, the controls were much more cumbersome and the revolutionary focusing system, well, didn't give me sharp pictures no matter what I did. So, I sent it back and went with my original plan, the 6D. The very first thing I did was shoot indoors with no light and I was shocked at how this camera performed! It will grab the absolute tiniest bit of light available and illuminate beautifully and SHARP! I have pictures with 8000-12600 ISOs that are gorgeous with no editing. The auto white balance is almost dead on: I always had to take a custom white balance shot with the T2i, and haven't had to yet with the 6D. The wireless function is very handy: I shot a picture in RAW, edited it on the camera, connected to my iPhone and emailed it and shared to FB. The recipient replied, "Wow, this looks like it came out of a magazine." Completely bypassing hooking up my external drive, downloading, etc etc was great. The HDR setting for heavily backlit subjects is really fun (but don't move!). I could go on and on, the real reason to get this camera is the image quality, it's just amazing. You can't take a bad picture with it. I've loved the time spent really learning photography with the T2i, and now with my toolbox of go-to techniques, I look forward to getting "wow" from picture after picture! The 24-105 is great, and I'll probably add the 70-200 f4L (no IS, since I have a monopod) to take pictures of kid's soccer and my husband's RC airplanes. So far playing around with the 6D, I get exactly what I need for action shots. Don't miss the pop-up flash at all. The handful of times I fill-flashed I didn't really like it anyway. There are several ways to overcome shadows/backlit subjects in this camera and I have absolutely not needed flash indoors at all yet and if so will just use the speed light. Can't put this camera down. Just love it!

I upgraded to this camera from the T3i. I would have gotten a 5d mark iii, but I couldn't justify the price difference for my needs.Stills wise, this camera is awesome. ISO performance is the really big plus on this camera and coming from a crop frame it's changed the way I shoot. It also has a small form factor for a full-frame.Auto focus isn't blazing fast, but it should prove fine for anything besides sports or other fast-moving objects.The auto focus points are highly concentrated in center of the frame. I often find myself wanting them closer to rule of thirds points.The one huge downside for video users is the moire issue. I find that some moire comes in for clothes with tight patterns, but in most instances the footage is still usable and only a trained eye will notice it.Things with very tight patterns (metallic outside grill of a window A/C) produce really wonky moire issues. Odd magenta colors come in and the moving pattern is rapid and noticeable even to the untrained eye.There is a solution to the moire issue. Mosaic Engineering makes an anti-aliasing filter that sits between the lens and the sensor. I haven't used it myself, but there are videos online that show its effectiveness. Filter goes for $365, still much less for body and filter than 5d Mark III. Filter should be removed when shooting stills, which is a downside if you are switching between the two.On the upside for video, auto focusing during liveview has definitely improved over the years on Canon DSLRs. Not as fast as mirrorless, but much better than previous SLRs.Also, no headphone jack. Don't know why Canon wouldn't include one, but I'm guessing it's to protect the 5d mark iii.WiFi and GPS are fun. First WiFi set-up takes a few minutes, but it pairs quickly for subsequent uses. Shooting from a phone can be a lot of fun and it will draw some surprised reactions from friends. Transfer also works quickly and files can be JPEGs or RAW, but it will only transfer a JPEG copy to your phone.DLNA also works fine. Haven' tested other modes yet.GPS is nice, but it does drain the battery pretty quickly. Unless you have a reason to track where you took pics, it's probably best to leave it off.Bottom line: Great for stills, unless you shoot a lot of sports. Video is good, but you have to be mindful of avoiding objects that produce moire (or just buy the filter).

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!

Here's my point of view for this review: I owned a Canon EOS Rebel T3i for about two years and realized that my professional needs required a semi-pro, full-frame camera. I cannot afford the 5D Mark III (someday), so the Canon EOS 6D was my pick. If you're not in a similar situation, you may find this review moot.If you've researched the 6D, you already know it has a 97% coverage viewfinder, a wimpy autofocus system and no headphone jack. It also lacks a double card slot and a pop-up flash.If you're a sports shooter, don't buy this camera. The autofocus system is too slow. But the center point AF works great in low light. I shoot in nightclubs a lot and have never had a problem. The high ISO setting produces very nice results in RAW (JPEGs are very noisy) and post-production in Lightroom 5 can fix any issues (again, only when shooting in RAW).Still picture and video quality is superb and very close (some say better) than the 5D Mark III.The 6D shares a lot of the 5D Mark III's DNA. Both use Canon's DIGIC 5+ processor. Both have the same high-resolution screens (the 6D's is 0.2 inches smaller).If you're moving up from a cropped sensor, consumer model Canon camera, you will be impressed. If you're coming off the recently discontinued 5D Mark II, you may find the button layout confusing and inferior. But the 6D has the latest specs and outshines the Mark II in my opinion.Most people looking at the 6D are either moving up from a consumer, cropped model, looking for a more affordable alternative from the 5D Mark III or looking for a second camera to supplement the Mark III. In all scenarios, you should be happy with your purchase.The kit lens (an L lens) is great and a big improvement if you've only used Canon's EF-S kit lenses.Since there's no pop-up flash, you'll need to buy a Speedlite and if you like to shoot with off-camera flash, you'll need to buy wireless triggers. I like the PIXEL KING E-TTL II Wireless Flash Trigger for CANON. Go for the Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash for Canon EOS Digital SLR Cameras and if that's too pricey, the Canon Speedlite 430EX II Flash for Canon Digital SLR Cameras will work just fine, I own two of them.

24 January 2013 - Update.I downloaded the Wi-Fi app into my IOS devices. It works great. I can put my 6D near ground level and pointing up, preview the composition and take the shot. My wife can review pictures taken before I load them up into my laptop. The only downside to this app is that it drains the battery of my IOS devices quicker than I wish.Original review:Photography is my hobby. I take pictures on weekends, vacation, or business travels for my company. Also, I like to geo-tag my pictures as a way to remind me where the photos were taken. So for me, this camera is great.People's complaints about its 20 MP (vs. 24 MP of some other brand) sound misplaced to me. The consequence of this low pixel count is the low pixel density, which resulted in excellent noise performance in low light / high ISO of the 6D. Since many pictures I took and will take are during business travel for my employer, they are taken mostly at or after sunset, or indoors. This very low-noise at high ISO performance of the 6D is a very big positive for me.The 6D has 11 AF points (vs. some very high count of some other brand). More than enough for hobbyist like me.The lack of a built-in flash is at worst -1/2 star, in my view. I rarely used the pop-up flash since this kind of flash is typically weak. Canon's decision to forgo the built-in flash to make room for the Wi-Fi and GPS circuitry is commendable. Since the performance of the 6D in low-light / high ISO is so good, my need for a pop flash is greatly reduced; I like pictures with a more natural look. Besides, I carry an external flash anyway. As for the sync speed of the flash (1/180 vs 1/200), I struggle to imagine a case that this small difference would affect me.Talking about Wi-Fi. The feature is another big plus, in my opinion. my smartphone or my tablet will act as a cable release. And I can review my pictures on my tablet soon afterward, a much better proposition than viewing them on the display on the back of the camera, without having to wait for a laptop or desktop.The lack of 2nd card slot may be a deficiency of the 6D vs. its competitors. But so far, all my cameras have only one card slot; So I don't find this "deficiency" a big deal.The 97% viewfinder of the 6D (vs. ~100% of other full-frame cameras) is a more significant issue. On rare occasions, I do end up with additional elements at the fringes / edges of my pictures than I anticipated since they didn't show up in my viewfinder. Again, these occurrences are few and far in between.A very nice surprise is the very low noise the mirror of the 6D makes as it flips up. And I didn't even put it in silent mode. Will try this mode (and others) as soon as I can. After all, I only have this camera for 3 days.I took a few pictures of my wife inside our home, under incandescent lights, with ISO set to 25600, and with GPS on. The results were great. The GPS was surprisingly accurate. Sorry guys, I won't post these pictures up.In conclusion, I find the pluses of the 6D far outweigh the perceived deficiencies. I recommend this camera.

My new 6D arrived this afternoon (12/7), a few hours ago. Got the battery charged and off I went. I owned a 5D for three years then sold it in anticipation of getting a 5DII as I had been happy with the images but not with the focusing on the 5D. Unfortunately the focusing on the 5DII wasn't much better so I sent it back, puttered around with Sony Nex5 and 7's waiting for this camera to arrive (the 5DIII was too $$$). So, how is it? It feels really solid. It's not like the bullet proof top end cameras, but it does feel more solid than the original 5D did. I haven't used a 60D or any of the Canon smaller sensor cameras so I cannot compare to those.The shutter sounds great, quieter than the 5D. The menu system is more streamlined, though they've moved everything around so that will take a few days to sort out. The focusing is much, much improved over the 5D and 5DII. The JPGs look great, much better than shots from a NEX7, better in low light than the 5D. Very happily, skin tones are fabulous, as they were with the 5D. I don't have a Nikon 600D or Sony A99 to compare to. That said, I am extremely happy with the camera. The 5D was a great landscape and portrait camera and the 6D improves on the things I hated about it. Plus a modest gain in detail to boot! As I shoot more over the next couple of weeks I'll update this. I can't comment on the cost, for some folks it's too much, and for others it's "affordable." It seems to have a great sensor, it focuses well in dimly lit interior spaces (my home study is lit by two 60 watt bulbs and it focuses quickly), feels great in my hands, and doesn't have a lot of extra stuff I won't use (other than GPS). The wifi is not quite ready for prime time (feels like V 0.9), though the potential is obvious and is going to be crazy cool for all sorts of remote uses. If you have canon lenses and the 5DIII seems to much, and the 7D not quite there, I don't think you can go wrong. If you have someone else's lenses, who knows?12/9. Some other initial impressions. There is no noise, none, at ISO<1600. Dark/shadow areas at ISO 800 require no noise reduction at all. Skin tones are accurate, smooth and seem flattering (albeit accurately). On the down side, the canon software for converting the raw files is brutally bad. Hopefully Adobe will release an update for Lightroom sooner rather than later that will address this. Last, I suspect the reviews that claim the camera is super light may not have held the camera. It's very solid. On paper it's 4 oz less than the original 5D, and it is way lighter than the 1dX sized cameras, but in no way does it feel light a la the rebel models. The buttons on the back are *not* solid feeling, rather cheesy actually. The menu system is easy to get sorted out. Used focus-tune to adjust the micro focus for my 50mm and 24-105mm zoom and found that after repeated calibrations the camera lens combinations I used are all reliable (in the sense that they don't vary sig from test to test). It's a really great camera.

Full frame does a lot for you, and there are some trade offs. But the big thing, and the thing the 6D really excels at, is low light performance. I walked around Miami Beach, shooting at twilight and after dark, using nothing but ambient light, hand held. NO TRIPOD! I got very nice, very usable images at ISO 2000. I shot RAW and did some quick work in Lightroom.You can't shoot high ISO with a crop sensor and get anything worth using. I was shooting handheld with image stabilization, getting VERY nice images.This same feature comes into play when shooting macro. I shoot bugs and tiny things. What I lose with the larger sensor in terms of getting in tight I more than make up for with the improved image quality at high ISO. 1600-2000 lets me shot very quick in sunlight, with a smaller aperture and no flash. If you shoot macro you know that light is hard to come by and apertures have to be tiny to get any depth of field when you're in that tight. I can crop the image to tighten up the composition and get wonderful bug shots, no tripod, no flash.If you're accustomed to serious image degradation at 800 and above, like with all crop sensors, shooting very clean at 2000 and very usable all the way to 3200 changes everything.

...reviews are filtered through the lens of the prices paid by the writers. More money means better camera right? In my opinion, not always. I am writing this from the perspective of a 5D Mark ii owner. An owner who when they first made the move to full frame was blown away with the shots I made. But alas, here we are in 2013 and times have changed and I need to upgrade because it is just time. I think back to the excitement of reading information pre-launch of the 5D Mark iii and 6D and was immediately having tech upgrade envy. I can't tell you how many times I said to myself. Yeah I have problems with that in the Mark ii. I need those 61 focusing points, I need the additional pixels too, etc etc! Then I realized some things. I do not take pictures of speed boats or sporting events. In fact, I don't take pictures of flying birds or jets either. In addition, I frame my photos the way I want them and rarely if ever crop. That being said, I will reduce this down to a simple question that I asked myself and one that I am sure others will say is too simplistic. What camera fits your photographic niche... your needs? For me, that is the 6D. For me this is not an "entry level" full-frame camera, this is a choice that I made from a set of options. BTW I could easily have afforded the 5D Mark iii if you needed to know that. To term the 6D an entry level full frame camera is a marketing trick which puts the technology on a linear scale which it is not. Let me further break what my needs and wants were down for you. I am a low light photographer and no I don't do weddings or sporting events. I take most of my images at night. I generally use available light and only when absolutely necessary use a flash. I am responsible and switch cards frequently. I travel extensively. I don't want to have to always whip out a cable and my laptop when I am already carrying tons of gear. I need better focusing especially in low light. I make photos with long exposures.For me the 6D is my camera of choice and the best camera because of these reasons and for my reasons. The 6D surpasses the 5D Mark iii on my high priority needs. This makes it the better camera for me. And let me tell you something else, in comparison to the 5D Mark ii in one word... amazing. Is it an upgrade to the 5D Mark ii? Absolutely on many levels. Is there anything I wish I could pull out of the 5D Mark iii and make a part of the feature list of the 6D? You mean like raw HDR in camera instead of just JPG? Yes. Is that the only thing? Yep, pretty much sums it up! How to make the right decision between the 5D Mark iii and the 6D? Know yourself and know your needs.

I upgraded from an old Digital Rebel XT so the differences were like night and day. Still, the 6D will come out on top compared to every higher number body out there, and the 5D Mark II.Pros:- The low-light performance on this camera is AMAZING. There is less noise at ISO 25,000 on the 6D than there was at ISO 1600 on my old 350D.- It can also autofocus (using the cross-type center point) in very low light very quickly. This body is perfect for someone looking to shoot handheld night scenes without the use of a flash.- The 24-105mm f4L lens is also a star and one of the most versatile lenses on the market.- Wi-Fi is a really cool and useful feature. I can easily share photos I just snapped through my Android phone. The app lets me save the images (.jpg only) and I can email, or share them across social media.For the price, it would be hard to find a better lens that works in nearly all situations.Cons:Despite these strengths, there are some things I was disappointing with.- Having only a single cross-type auto-focus point means having to focus and recompose shots. Bodies that are a lot cheaper have more cross focus points, so I don't understand why they didn't include that with the 6D. That being said, the auto-focus does work well enough that this is seldom an issue.- You cannot enter video mode when Wi-Fi is enabled. This really sucks. I was hoping to be able to use Wi-Fi as a video monitor when filming but I can't. Instead I have to use a PC through the USB connection. What's really annoying is that if you forget Wi-Fi is on, and want to shoot a video, you have to go into the settings and disable it before you can film. They should have at least automatically disabled Wi-Fi when you switch the camera to movie mode.Neutral:- GPS is useful in some applications, but I find myself never turning it on.- It would have been nice to have auto-focus in video. This feature has been showing up in APS-C bodies recently, but hasn't made it to any FF bodies yet.Overall:This is a really great camera, and perfect for someone looking to step into the Full Frame world. Unless you can get a great deal on a 5D (Mk. 2 or 3) I'd recommend this camera. If you're fine with APS-C, you might be able to save some money and stick with a 60D, or perhaps a 7D.

The Canon 6D is one of the best bodies I've ever used, and that's saying something.I am a staff photographer at The News Journal in Wilmington, Delaware, and upon joining the staff a few months ago, asked the photo director to purchase a 6D for my kit. I've previously used the original 5D, 5DmkII, 5DmkIII, 60D, 7D, 1DmkIIN, 1DmkIII and the EOS M, while working part-time for a Canon dealer in Wyoming as a side job to my position on the staff of the Casper Star-Tribune, where I worked full time.I've also used Nikon gear when I work for a paper in Indiana. There I was outfitted with two Nikon D3s's.The Canon 6D features fantastic video, I'd say comparable to the 60D or even the 5DmkII, depending on the lighting conditions. It also boasts a faster frame rate than the 5DmkII, which makes it much easier to use when shooting sports. The ISO range is superb. Images shot at 10,000 ISO, in relatively low light conditions at many of the high school gyms I've shot at recently, look crisp. Much better than anything I've seen from bodies older than the 5DmkIII. And of course, the full frame sensor is a great plus for this body's price point.If you're a journalist or photojournalist, you understand that getting images in as quickly as possible at the highest quality possible can make or a break a story at times. Routinely at spot or breaking news scenes we've had to rely on our iPhones to get any sort of photo transmitted quickly. Hands down the best feature of this camera is the built in wifi connectivity with the Canon iPhone app. I can take a photo at a scene, view images on my card on my phone (or even remotely control the camera with my phone, great for mounted shots in basketball) and pull the image off and transmit something of infinitely higher quality than my iPhone can produce in a matter of a minute.The only drawbacks this body has is the lacking number of autofocus points compared to other bodies in it's capability range, and it's limited shutter speed of 1/4000. That hasn't effected me yet, as usually I can just drop the ISO lower and compensate, but it is a curious limit. I've also noticed, when trying to shoot basketball in poorly lit gyms (i.e. at a high ISO and under fluorescent lighting) the video the 6D produces has a purple banding to it. I sent my body to Canon thinking it was an issue and they said they simply "adjusted the imagining array" and that would alleviate the issue. I'm still noticing it, but again, only at very high ISO and under fluorescent light.For the cost, this is definitely a body I would recommend to any photographer looking for high quality stills, and strong video.

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 bought this camera only a few days ago, complete with the L series kit lens, and I'm very pleased. I was looking for a full frame camera to replace a 50D, and I was considering this against the 5D Mark III. For me, the differences that mattered were the WiFi and GPS, along with the substantial savings against the 5D. I use the camera for family pictures and hobby photography. The 5D is an incredible camera, but this one blended features and price in a way that provided the most value. I was worried that not having a flash would be a problem, but the low-light capabilities of this camera are incredible. I tend to prefer primes, so I'm normally using fast lenses, and this has already captured some nice photos.Moving from a 1.6x censor to full frame has thrown me for a bit of a loop - my previous lens of choice was the 50mm 1.4. In full frame, the 50mm is a bit too loose, so I'm looking at 85mm options. I also use the 135mm, and it's very good. My next lens will be the 100mm 2.8L, and based on some tests, I'm expecting that to be the sweet spot for me.While I scratch the surface of this camera's capability, the controls are consistent from one Canon to another, and I didn't have much of a learning curve from the 50D to this.I highly recommend this camera; so far it has been fantastic.Update - 06/21/13I wanted to post a quick amendment to my earlier post relative to battery life. While I continue to be thrilled with the camera, I ran into a substantial problem on battery life. I prefer to use a battery pack / grip, so I run two rechargeable batteries simultaneously. I turned on the GPS and WiFi functions, and even with the camera off, the batteries were completely drained in three days. Apparently one or both of those functions continue to pull from the battery even while the camera is off. To me, this is a pretty big liability. I'll try to isolate whether its the GPS or WiFi that drains the batteries so fast, but if I have to continually cycle through turning these functions on, then off, I think that would be a pretty big problem. I don't know why the GPS would continue to function while the camera is off; maybe it provides value to someone more technical than me, but I don't see the value. Hopefully Canon fixes this with a firmware update.

I just sold my T3i after upgrading to the 6D. I wanted better low light coverage and faster shots. I was amazed at how well this camera does in those conditions. weight wise it is heavier and feels more solid. The grip is more rubery and easier to hold onto. I personally like that I can use my SD cards. I was a little worried about not having the pop up flash. But the incredible low light shots that this camera allows has that concern on the back burner. It takes pictures I could never take with the T3i. What I didn't realize about this camera was HOW it actually did it. Upon further research I realized it was taking multiple shots and merging them. Canon calls it HDR. I don't fully understand how it does it but it takes amazing pictures.I played with the wifi a bit. It is a really neat feature. I was able to immediately view my pics on my iPhone. I haven't tried it yet with my friends iPad but plan to. It appears the pictures are no longer available on the iPhone when loses synch with the camera.The quality of the pictures, the speed of the first picture, the low light ability of the camera, the quality build of the camera really exceeds my expectations. I really enjoyed my other camera but this thing just has me in love. I plan to keep this for many many years!!edit:I've added a few accessories. STK's Canon-6D Battery Pack 2600mAh an extra battery that works well with the camera's interface. Fotodiox Inner pinch Lens Cap, Lens Cover with Cap Keeper, 77mm because I hate trying to remove the factory lens cap when I have the hood on. GGS Glass LCD Screen Protector for Canon 6D to protect the plastic LCD screen. Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera is one of the top rated books. I have learned a great deal about how to control my camera in manual to get better pictures. This book has color illustrations to help understand the photography principles. B+W 77mm Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Coating (010M) I prefer to keep a quality filter on the end of my lens to protect it. Some folks don't. And the best tripod I've found is the Dolica AX620B100 62-Inch Proline Tripod and Ball Head. I hope you find this helpful.NOTE: Camera WIFI continues to use battery even though the camera is turned off. I found this out the hard way. Either disable WIFI/GPS or remove battery when not in use. I was surprised that my camera would not turn on then swapped batteries and it came right up. That is why I have a backup battery I guess.

Started in 1985 with a 35mm Minolta X370. Then owned a Canon XTi, T2i, and T4i, before getting this camera to relive my earlier 35mm full-frame experiences. All were good cameras, but this 6D is absolutely exquisite. Took the first photo with both the T4i and 6D side-by-side to compare and first thought, "meh." But then as the frames started rolling in and I gained greater experience with this body, that reaction turned every time to, "Holy cow!" as I discovered its abilities and pushed the limits of the sensor. You can literally sit in a candle-lit room and take a well-exposed, relatively noise-free photo that looks just like what your eyes are seeing. Needless to say, in less challenging, more mundane situations, the resulting photos are also gorgeous. I'm sure that a 5D-III or Leica is might be better in some regards, but I can't imagine any reason ever really needing anything more than this body. I've been using it for 5 months now, and none of the supposedly inferior specs (compared to other bodies) have ever been a limiting factor in my photographic pursuits. The Wow! factor of this camera is immense, and as long as I continue experiencing that, I see no reason to continue upgrading every few years like I have been.

I guess my requirements in a camera are different than anyone else's but here goes. I have been a working pro for over 30 years and have always used the most basic cameras you could imagine, Hasselblad and 4x5 Toyo. Frankly, I don't give a rats rosy red rear end about WiFi, GPS, in camera video etc. They are beside the point as far as I'm concerned and usually are just things that keep the old Canon vs Nikon thing going. The only thing I care about is the quality of image coming out of the camera, and I thoroughly object to paying for a camera body that will be out of date in four years that cost more than I paid for my Hasselblad with three lenses. That said this camera body fits in very nicely with my needs. Who says it's a consumer or prosumer body? Are you kidding me? It's a camera and having the six thousand dollar body or the five hundred dollar body doesn't make you a pro; you do! Now that I have vented here's what I see. Image quality is as good as you will get from a digital camera at this time. The grain and crispness of the image on my 27" MAC monitor are excellent. The first time I used the camera it was amazing how quiet it is; very quiet. There are some things I don't like about the focusing system but that has been the case on every autofocus camera I've ever used. The camera will not get it right everytime, however it is very fast and quiet in focusing. I also have a 60D and use it a lot. The single feature that I see on the 60D that is absent on this body is the articulating screen, but not for the reason most people think. I do a lot of studio work and one thing I hate is for the client to ask is they can see the raw image, or they try to sneak around the back of the camera to see what's on the monitor. With the articulating screen I just turn it over and no image appears on the back of the camera. They just assume it's the way "professional" cameras work since their camera has a picture that pops up immediately after it's taken and the question never comes up. I like this camera a lot; really more than the inevitable comparison camera body; the 5DMkii. I rented a body for a week to see if I liked it. After doing nearly 1,000 images with it, this will be the camera body I get. Very good camera and unless you're going to abuse it I have a very hard time understanding why it is that there is such a kerfuffle about it having a polycarbonate body and not an all metal body. I don't know about you but if I have to use the camera in the middle of a rain storm or eastern New Mexico dust storm I put a rain coat on it. If I drop it I expect it not to work so to me the ruggedness, or lack of ruggedness is a silly argument. This body is definitely the most "bang for the buck" if you're in a Canon system. If you're in a Nikon system you have my deepest sympathies.

I've owned Canon SLRs for a number of years and have used the 450D, 40D and recently migrated from a Canon 5DMKII.Firstly, this camera takes great pictures, at least as good as the 5DMKII, if not better. On the 6D the buttons are less "clicky" and have a reassuring firm rubber press. The shutter also has less of the thump of the 5D.Unfortunately there are two things I really do not like about this camera:1. While you can program the DOF preview button to bring up the electronic level, another way the camera could be improved is by showing the electronic level at the top of the viewfinder so it could be displayed all the time. This would work much better for people who handhold their cameras. Currently the level disappears as soon as you press the shutter half way down. You also cannot program more easy to reach buttons like the AE lock button (which I don't usually use), only the DOF preview button.2. The buttons you use to zoom in when reviewing images on the LCD have been changed. Instead of the AE lock and AF point selection buttons, you now use the Main Dial button. I hate this and would like the option to toggle this back to the behaviour on the xxxD, x0D and 5D. The zoom button also seems pointless as it only zooms in by a single fixed amount.3. The GPS stays on and drains the camera battery even when the camera is off. I agree this is the desired behaviour if the GPS logging (sub option) is on. If this option is off then the GPS should switch off when the camera is switched off.The 150g weight reduction from the 5DMKII is great, as is the reduction in size. I can now carry the camera around all day without it hurting my neck or back.Also, the in-camera HDR is a great feature, I used it a lot on my last trip.

I want to preface this review by saying that I'm a videographer first, photographer as a hobby so my views are based on that.Also, this review is not a full review as much as a "here's why you should upgrade" argument.I started off with the 60D prior to this and while I thoroughly enjoyed the 60D for what it offered, I am so unbelievably happy with my purchase of the 6D for several reasons.First and foremost, if you want to step up your game, you need to go full frame. The reason I say that is up until I went full frame, I always felt like I wasn't experiencing the full benefits of my lenses, mainly my 35mm 1.4L. The additional wide angle look that you get gives a much more cinematic look at times and it really is a noticeable difference, even when looking through the viewfinder.Second, the low light capabilities on this bad boy are amazing. I do a lot of indoor videography, and at times, mostly in low light situations. At times with the 60D when I used to stress about the lighting situation, now with the 6D, I just jack up the ISO without much thought and get amazingly usable footage. I've done a ton of research prior to my purchase and the low light capabilities of this camera actually beat the MarkIII. I cannot stress how much easier it is to manage low light situations with this camera.Lastly, Canon introduced new shooting modes called ALL-I and IPB. ALL-I is a higher quality format that creates a separate individual frame for each frame footage as opposed to IPB which only records the changes in between frames. ALL-I also takes up about 3x more space than IPB does. I've done some tests and while I can't notice a huge difference, it's great to have the option to either save space, or have better quality footage.This doesn't mean that this camera doesn't have it's imperfections.The lack of a swivel screen almost was a deal breaker for me. The freedom the 60D gave me with that one technical feature was appreciated, and ever more so now without one on the 6D. I don't know why they would leave that out.The lack of audio monitoring is also another one. It almost seems as though they aimed this camera at budget conscious full frame videographers but left out this one small but crucial feature.I've learned to work around these two issues and have accepted that I saved over $1400 by not going with the MarkIII which even stil doesn't have the swivel screen but does have audio monitoring.

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:[...][...]

If you're reading this review then you, like me, probably have read a bunch of user reviews trying to talk yourself into or out of a purchase. When I was looking to upgrade to a full frame it was either this $2300 6D kit or a $3400 5dmk3. For the life of me I didn't know why I hesitated so long. I mean the 6D is a full frame, shoots practically in the dark, has wifi, has GPS, and takes all my old batteries. And in the end I didn't have an extra $1100 for the 5dmk3 anyway!I have not been disappointed. The images the 6D puts out, when taken correctly, are phenomenal. Image quality (IQ) alone makes this camera is well worth it. All the other features are secondary like GPS and wifi. And how about the features the 5dmk3 has that this 6D doesn't have? Headphone input? I'm a photographer. 61 focus points? I've always needed just one focus point cross type or otherwise. Two storage slots? Seriously? I feel if the 6D had two storage slots and the 5d had three it would be the same silly conversation.

Years ago I was one of those yearbook photographer guys in high school shooting with a Canon FT-b,Tri-X film and developing film myself. Since then, I've had many digital cameras and can safely say that for the first time in my experience, I have a camera that can perform in extremely low light and produce stellar images. The camera can focus at very low light levels making it perfect for performing arts photography or Family photos in low light conditions without a flash. The 6D simply outperforms other cameras I have compared it to in low light settings including the 5D Mk 3. The complaints about the 6D's speed are perhaps warranted if you truly need blazing frame rates. Any complaints about the live view display durability can be remedied with a "smart phone" style clear overlay which I recommend for any quality camera. Finally this camera is noticeably lighter than other full frame competitors, except the Sony A7 which does not approach the 6D's internally processed low light capability. I highly recommend the Canon 6D.

I had my eyes on the 6D from the day it was released. In the year that I've had my 60D, I've taken over 50,000 photos, varying from hiking the Cascades in Washington to snapping pictures of my friends at parties. I really liked my 60D. But I wanted a full-frame camera. I have a 24-105 f/4 L, a 14mm Rokinon, and a Canon 50mm f/1.8. I snap lots of landscapes and night shots of the stars and wanted to take full advantage of the wide angled lenses I have.It's been about 12 hours since I unboxed my 6D and here are my initial impressions, mostly compared to a Canon 60D, which I really liked: - the body feels about the same as the 60D - the button layout takes getting used to, esp. for a 60D user. They've moved the delete button to where the play/review button used to be. Bad move, IMO - the shutter is buttery smooth, especially on 'silent mode' - the high ISO performance kicks ass; much less noise than the 60D - built-in lens aberration correction means one less step in Lightroom - HDR looks promising, but I have not had a chance to test. Wish it had more manual control, e.g. take more than 3 snaps. I expect I'll use bracketing and then post-process my HDR - GPS seems to work just fine, but it's a bit of a battery drain - WiFi options look good -- I can take photos remotely from my Android phone and also upload pix directly to my 'puter, too. - Build quality looks good. I have abused my 60D in all kinds of wet and frozen environs, and it has prevailed. I expect the same if not more from the 6D - I miss the articulated screen - I wish the Menu button was on the right hand; they've moved it to the left side, requiring the left hand to push it - I like the menu options to choose the ISO range AND the minimum shutter speed against the ISO. Nice. Wish it went faster than 1/250, as I shoot a lot of action shotsSo from the above, you might think I'd give the 6D a mixed review. On the contrary, I am *very* happy to make this investment. The upgrade to the full-frame is amazing, the crispness and low-noise improvements in the Digic 5 are great, and the GPS and Wifi features are a nice touch.Definitely move to the 6D if you have a 60D or a Rebel and want something better. BUT, as always, invest your $$ in some good lenses first -- those will be with you for a long time. Once you have some nice lenses, you can fully appreciate what the 6D brings.Anyone want to buy a 60D? :-)
