The EOS 6D is Canon's attempt to entice DSLR owners who are looking for the benefits of full frame shooting - including shallower depth of field and wider-angle lens coverage, but can't afford the EOS 5D Mark III .
Pros:
  • Excellent detail in raw file output across ISO range
  • Class-leading low light focus sensitivity (from central AF point
  • Very effective JPEG noise reduction at highest ISO sensitivities
  • Impressively quiet 'silent' shutter drive mode
  • Quick Control menu provides easy access to shooting settings,...
Cons:
  • JPEG engine struggles with low-contrast fine detail at low ISO sensitivities
  • Low density 11 point autofocus array with only one cross-type AF point
  • Single card slot (SD
  • Slow burst rate compared to its full frame peers
  • Cannot configure common live view and movie mode options independently
  • Video...

Canon EOS 6D

Canon's EOS 6D is the company's first 'affordable' full frame DSLR. It's positioned above the EOS 60D (and in some respects the EOS 7D), providing a stepping stone into full-frame photography for owners of Canon's mid-range and semi-pro APS-C models.
Pros:
  • Tough
  • moisture and dust resistant body
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS
  • Great image quality with low noise levels
  • AF effective in very low light
  • 4.5fps continuous shooting limited by memory for JPEGs
Cons:
  • Single SD card slot
  • Lacks built-in flash
  • 97 percent viewfinder coverage
  • Relatively few AF points and only one cross-type
  • Lacks on-demand viewfnder overlays

In many ways the Canon EOS 6D is the Canon's first true enthusiast level full-frame digital camera. While the Canon EOS 5D Mark III and Canon EOS 1DX also have a full frame sensor, the Canon EOS 6D's design and handling is far closer to that of the APS-C format Canon EOS 60D

Canon 6D review

All things considered, the Canon EOS 6D is an excellent choice for the enthusiast and club photographer looking for a full-frame DSLR. These users will find that they have just about everything they need, and a bit more besides.

Canon EOS 6D

The Canon EOS 6D might sound like the dream ticket for full-frame DSLR aspirers. It's the first time that Canon's dipped its toe into the "budget" full-frame pond. But, to be realistic, its £1600 body-only asking price is still more the cash equivalent of a dive than a doggy-paddle.
Pros:
  • Full-frame image quality
  • EOS Utility wireless shooting via computer has potential
  • view images from camera using smartphone device on location
  • smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR
Cons:
  • Limited autofocus points
  • central-arrangement of autofocus points
  • just one SD card slot
  • no rear joystick-like control
  • no clean HDMI output
  • Wi-Fi just isn't user friendly
  • being forced to use Canon Image Gateway is irritating

Canon EOS 6D review

The pitch for the EOS 6D is that it's a cheaper way for keen amateurs to enjoy a digital SLR that offers a sensor the same size as professional models costing £5K. Whilst not inexpensive at £1799.99 body-only, the Canon 6D is comparable price-wise and feature-wise with the simultaneously announced...
Pros:
  • Canon's cheapest full frame sensor DSLR for those amateurs after optimum results from the 35mm format
  • solid feel build yet manageable handling
  • on-board wireless transfer of images and the ability to control the camera remotely via iPad
  • built-in GPS image tagging
Cons:
  • Size and bulk will still mark you out as a professional so not the best option for candid street photography
  • expensive if you won't feel the benefit of that full frame sensor

Canon EOS 6D review

Full-frame photography has got a lot more interesting in the last 12 months, especially for people whose next camera isn't a business expense. The Canon EOS 5D Mark III , Nikon D800 and Sony Alpha A99 all helped to redefine what an entry-level full-frame SLR was capable of.
