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.

  • 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

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 .
