I landed many usable photos, but just off in the focus in too many basic situations. I took this body to japan last year, and while it did well overall, the 6d hates my 24-105.

And wow, the iso performance is utterly spectacular. It's a shame too, because the body itself is great and easy to use. The bad part about that is that the subjects are NOT moving.įor sports, your only option is to use center point, as relying on the non cross points would be crazy. Regardless of my lens selection- from the 50 1.4 to the 70-200mk2, my hit rate ends up around 60%.

You CAN use it as such, but know that you will miss a LOT of critical focus situations. I can say as an owner of one year who has shot landscapes, portraits, and fashion/style, this camera is not particularly suitable for anything that moves, and the non cross type points are even further problematic. In the table below we see how some of the EOS 6D's key specs measure up against its more expensive big brother, the 5D Mark III, and its main rival the Nikon D600. Key specs compared to EOS 5D Mark III and Nikon D600 Canon says this is for maximum durability and to keep the camera's size down.

As usual for a full frame DSLR - the Sony SLT-A99 being the sole exception - the rear screen itself is fixed, rather than articulated as it is on the EOS 60D.

There's no on-chip phase-detection to aid autofocus in live view or movie mode, nor does Canon's superb touchscreen interface make an appearance. The 6D omits some of the more interesting goodies Canon introduced on the EOS 650D, too. It also inherits in-camera HDR and Multiple Exposure modes, but disappointingly implements these as JPEG only options, unlike on the 5D Mark III which also records Raw files. The 6D also benefits from some features we saw in the EOS 5D Mark III, like Canon's silent shutter mode, which offers quieter, more discreet shooting. Notable additions include integrated GPS and Wi-Fi - with the latter offering the ability to control the camera remotely via your smartphone. This figure might not mean much to you, but for reference, -3 EV is roughly equivalent to the light cast by a full moon. However, the 6D's trump card is the ability to focus in extremely low light levels right down to a claimed -3 EV – a full stop dimmer than the 5D Mark III. The AF system has 11 points, but only the central one is cross-type (sensitive to both vertical and horizontal detail). In concert with the DIGIC 5+ processor it offers a standard ISO range of 100-25600, expandable down to 50 and up to 102,400. The EOS 6D is built around a new Canon CMOS sensor, which offers a pixel count of 20.2MP (compared to the Nikon D600 and Sony SLT-A99's 24MP, and the 5D Mark III's 22MP). 97% viewfinder coverage interchangeable screens (including Eg-D grid and Eg-S fine-focus).11 point AF system, center point cross-type and sensitive to -3 EV.

Whether this combination will be enough to satisfy enthusiasts who'd appreciate the D600's distinctly higher spec'ed autofocus system, dual card slots and built-in flash remains to be seen. While slimmer front-to-back, and lighter than the Nikon D600, the 6D primarily seeks to distinguish itself on the spec sheet with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, a 'silent' shutter mechanism and, according to Canon, unprecedented low-light focusing sensitivity. The EOS 6D is perhaps best understood as a full frame version of the popular EOS 60D - indeed it's very similar in both control layout and dimensions. While Canon obviously needs to maintain clear distinctions between the 6D and the pricier 5D Mark III, the challenge is to offer enough incentive for current EOS owners who lack a substantial lens investment to resist the similarly priced and slightly higher-resolution Nikon D600.Īnd as is Canon's wont, they have opted for the allure of familiarity and consistency. It debuts at $1400 less than the company's standout EOS 5D Mark III.Īs the full frame DSLR market grows ever-more crowded though - Canon, Nikon and Sony each offer at least two full frame models - the appeal of the 6D may well rest on things like handling and feature set. And while the barrier to entry has dropped considerably since then, for many potential buyers, the most-talked about feature of the EOS 6D may well be its price. It was only a decade ago that full frame DSLR performance was limited to those with pockets deep enough to spend $7999 on the 11MP Canon EOS 1Ds. And just like that, a new market segment was born: the mid-range full frame DSLR. Less than a week after arch-rival Nikon grabbed headlines with the D600, Canon responded with an announcement of its own price-conscious full frame DSLR, the EOS 6D.
