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

Canon EOS 6D: Review

In our opinion, Canon has hit the target he set for himself: to create a professional SLR accessible for cost and method of use to user's enthusiasts. Of course, we are not at the levels of a Mark III and even a Mark II.
Pros:
  • Contrast
  • Sharpness
  • Detail and excellent color
  • Focus on fast-3EV point center cross
  • DIGIC 5 processor
  • Wi-Fi and GPS
  • 1080p video at 30fps good quality
Cons:
  • Only 11 points of focus therefore not very suitable for sports photography
  • a single slot for memory cards
