Reviews around photo (4.46 of 5)

  • : I've been able to get away with usable photos at ISO 6400
  • 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
  • The 6ds photos are indistinguishable from the 5ds as far as IQ
  • I tried the remote shooting feature, but the defaults make it pretty unusable because it auto-focuses after you snap the photo... useless.
  • Otherwise it is an amazing camera and takes extremely amazing photos.

Reviews around 6d (4.34 of 5)

  • If you are moving up from a crop sensor and don't know what to buy, the 6D will to disappoint
  • I upgraded from the 70D and as much as I loved the 70D I never thought I would love this 6D more
  • No lens creep so far*Canon 430EX flash, works great the 6D; lots of functions, able to adjust the flash from the 6D.*AGFA UV lenses, good quality, cheap price for lens protection; AGFA CPL iffy built quality, but it works fine as CPL.*extra batteries - one is not enough
  • In all of these areas the 6D definitely delivers the goods
  • When compared to my 5D Mark III, I would chose the 6D as the winner of ISO performance

Reviews around lens (4.24 of 5)

  • DSLRs give you lens flexibility, subject isolation, better low-light performance, and potentially superior motion tracking
  • The 24-105 lens is also great, amazingly sharp for a zoom lens.

Reviews around quality (4.21 of 5)

  • To get the "actual" light of the scene with good DR but without grain as proved any ISO above 1000 or so will degrade the pic color and quality and tonality
  • The camera is much more comfortable to carry around than my 1D and better image quality than my T3i
  • Even to me, a Canon fan, this poor body quality is worrisome
  • Now add that the camera is a very good quality DSLR and I am happy
  • A great camera with very good build quality, and very clean images through ISO 12,800.

Reviews around image (4.14 of 5)

  • I have been very happy with my 60Ds, but wanted to get better quality images in high ISO conditions
  • If you are ready to move up to FF, this is a great camera that produces excellent images
  • A great camera with very good build quality, and very clean images through ISO 12,800.
  • (as I said above I hate noisy images and didn't like the camera constantly trying to push up the ISO).
  • 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

Reviews around feature (4.11 of 5)

  • This camera lacks those few features that make other cameras so much more expensive
  • ISO photos are also a remarkable feature of this camera
  • I use the wifi a lot for previewing my images and it's nice to be able to delete the ones from your camera you don't want right from your phone or tablet, very cool feature
  • In camera HDR is limited to JPG, so not ideal but again not a selling point - just cool feature to play with.
  • It works on my phone!!!!!Great camera with some nice features

Reviews around frame (3.93 of 5)

  • For me, in this price range full frame sensor > autofocus capability.
  • If you are looking for a budget friendly full frame, get the 6d
  • For years my main camera was the 7d after purchasing the 6d the full frame is incredible.
  • Weight is lightweight compare to the more expensive full frame camers* New sensor and better ISO handling than higher Canon full frame
  • I really missed the full frame when I moved from a 5DII to a 7D for video purposes.- highlight alert, when enabled, is helpful to me

Reviews around focus (3.92 of 5)

  • ive wished that i had gone with the 5D is during low light shooting when this can have some problems grabbing a good focus
  • Between the improved focus of the 6D, and the incredible benefit of shooting at ISO 2000 and above, it more than made up for the loss of zoom.
  • ive wished that i had gone with the 5D is during low light shooting when this can have some problems grabbing a good focus
  • The bad: The 6D outer focus points are not as accurate as the 5DIII’s
  • It focuses well and very quickly, but the focusing system is rudimentary with only 19 focus points and no zone focus capability

Reviews around price (3.92 of 5)

  • I love how lightweight and user friendly this camera is...and at a great price
  • Reviewing Canon EOS 6D 20.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)Duration of ownership - 2 YearsTLDR: Full Frame DSLR for a great price
  • The price may seem steep, but think of it as much as an heirloom as a camera, because this thing is likely to be around and going strong long after you, if you treat it well.
  • Whom 6D is for?A full frame camera that let you take picture almost every situation at a "reasonable" price.
  • Given the insane price of the new 5DM4, it may be a waiting game to see what the 6DM2 has (hoping a faster frame rate).I've also considered other reviews that say if you're a 6D user, a 7DM2 can be a good 2nd camera body since it has a 10 fps rate, a more advanced AF system than the 6D and is APS-C (crop sensor) which can 'extend' your lens reach due to the crop factor.

Reviews around performance (3.78 of 5)

  • My only major complain about the 7D is the poor ISO performance typical of APS-C sensor cameras, so I went for it and got the 6D.After a few weeks of using the
  • I would say full frame is really the way to go if you want stunning low light performance
  • 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.
  • The autofocus is great, the low light (high ISO) performance is great, and the IQ is great
  • It has all the features it promises and also great performance at high ISO

Reviews around canon (3.63 of 5)

  • Canon did some magic work in their NR algorithm in camera jpg
  • You just lost a life customer Canon and the thousands I will probably spend on new equipment.
  • Canon has made some of great sensors for this camera (and 5D MkIII/1DX), well done Canon
  • Canon had this on back order and I would have missed out on a great deal
  • I was waiting for Canon camera that supports GPS and Canon EOS 6D was the first one

Reviews around card failure (3.04 of 5)

  • It is a good camera to have that will last, as well as it is not to expense and while using it you can grow your lens collection
  • 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
  • Best of all, my two fabulous "L" lenses work with the 6D perfectly
  • I've also thought about the lack of dual card slots a bit more, and I think that if you're going to earn money off your camera it might be better to get the 5D MK3 just in case you happen to have a card failure while shooting a wedding or other one time events that you can't reshoot
  • So do not think of the 6D having inferior AF – its just not as good as we know we could have today

Reviews around card slot (2.68 of 5)

  • Best of all, my two fabulous "L" lenses work with the 6D perfectly
  • The lone SD card slot also made me worry, but then I was used to only having one in my Rebel anyway, so it doesn't seem like a loss of anything for me personally
  • The bad: The 6D outer focus points are not as accurate as the 5DIII’s
  • Despite some features that it lacked, ie dual card slots, I felt this was the best camera for my profession.
  • 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

Reviews around situation (2.58 of 5)

  • Shooting in dim situations is not only a breeze now, they also look great at high iso(even at 12800).
  • (For non-HDR purposes, but to get a varied number of exposures in difficult lighting situations)
  • The bad: The 6D outer focus points are not as accurate as the 5DIII’s
  • It has a great dynamic range and with a high ISO setting it takes pictures in very dark situations.
  • So do not think of the 6D having inferior AF – its just not as good as we know we could have today

  • The GPS doesn't turn off with the camera and kills the battery
  • The GPS stays on and drains the camera battery even when the camera is off

Reviews around moire issue (1.80 of 5)

  • The bad: The 6D outer focus points are not as accurate as the 5DIII’s
  • if you don't have one on you or have time to set it up, its fantastic!I have no opinion of movie mode.
  • if you don't have one on you or have time to set it up, its fantastic!I have no opinion of movie mode.
  • 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
  • Things with very tight patterns (metallic outside grill of a window A/C) produce really wonky moire issues
