Canon EOS 6D Body Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: - high working ISO (3200 is generally easy, 6400 - if then adequately suppressed, and for a home album at least 12800)
- low weight of the camera, magnesium alloy frame (except for the top)
- quiet pleasant sound of the mirror and shutter
- basic dust and moisture protection
- after 60D - almost the same controls
Disadvantages: For me - this is not
Comment: More, why I wrote - no flaws. For me, no. Many people say that 1/4000 is flawed, a small number of focus points, the cross is only the center, and in general they are “bored” to the middle, lack of moisture and moisture protection, etc. the pieces, for me, as a landscape painter, are absolutely insignificant and moreover, DESCRIBED in the characteristics. You do not read the specifications before buying the device? This is strange. If you read, what is it? A special kind of masochism, read the description of the equipment, buy, and then complain about what was in the description? And the second separate type of masochism is to buy the PHOTO-APPARATUS solely for shooting video (I understand perfectly why you are doing this, no need to explain), and then complain that there are no modes, a stereo microphone, or suddenly a rolling shutter more than needed - and maybe we will use the technique for the main purpose? No, it is too difficult.

Bottom line: a wonderful machine for someone who understands why he needs it. A great option for switching to ff from cropping or even for a beginner who is willing to invest money normally (for lenses, you should immediately prepare an amount not less than the cost of a carcass).

Evaluation 5
Advantages: A full frame, correspondingly less noise compared to crop, the ability to shoot at a higher sensitivity, a wider dynamic range, accurate focusing (I work only on the center point), including in very difficult conditions in low light conditions. A very good processor, fast with a good picture processing algorithm. From my 10D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 70D, the best picture in terms of noise, color reproduction. Not overpriced in pixels, in my opinion, no longer needed, extra pixels, these are more capacious and high-speed memory cards, plus additional costs on hard drives (I have a large archive), more noise. I don’t need a high burst speed, I work with flash, it introduces its limitations. The main advantage of this f / a is a very good picture, when switching from 50D it’s just huge jerk in image quality. A living battery. Regarding the small number of focus points, I repeat, I work only central, I think that the process should be manageable. At the moment I have 6D, 70D, 5D MarkIII, and so, the image quality is not inferior 3 mark, comparing , The difference is not nashel.Otlichny p / a for the job, if you do not bother prestige. A very soft shutter release is a definite plus, less shake when shooting. Synchronization is 1/180, compared to 1/200 at 3 mark, it’s purely conventional, the image is formed when the flash fires, and its speed is much higher, and the difference is not big, not fundamental rather, a marketing move, to diminish the possibilities compared to the third brand.
Disadvantages: Small shutter life, broke down by 97 thousand. It is not convenient to make corrections when working with a flash, hidden more than 50D and 5DMark III, and metering is worse than 3 marks, when working with a flash, the error is higher. In my opinion, light weight and small in size, I personally feel uncomfortable, but it can be a plus for someone.
Comment: Fi-Wi and gps are not needed for me. A price tag would be cheaper if you could buy without these functions. In my practice, these are unnecessary toys, I tried Fi-Wi, interesting, but unnecessary and the battery consumption increases dramatically. In general, this model F / a is a great option for work. It is dust-water-protected, this is for top models, but there are other money. I can only recommend this f / a. By the way, switching from a crop requires replacing memory cards with more capacious and speedy ones (perhaps, only when shooting in RAW). It is logical, but you don’t want to spend extra money. Otherwise it will slow down from the buffer to the card, and can stop shooting.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: High-quality assembly. Feels safer mirrorless.
Ease of use - Comfortable handling and good grip.
Qualitative picture at the exit (At the level of analogs?)
Low weight for SLR camera
Disadvantages: Plastic parts
Autofocus in low light
Comment: It is more convenient than mirrorless with long-focus optics due to good grip and better weight distribution.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: - Picture quality (colors)
- work of automation
- Operating ISO up to 3200-5000 depending on the lighting
- convenient management
- possibility to use Canon optics on FF for such money
- all the advantages of a full frame, incl. and the quality and character of the picture
- easy
- tenacious center point AF
Disadvantages: Nothing criminal, but:
- cheap plastic on displays instead of glass
- flash sync speed 1 / 180s maximum sometimes not enough
- a very small scatter of AF points and, in general, their number - very much cut.
- on modern tasks I would like 26-30 megapixels
Comment: Long thought to buy or not. But he decided and radically changed his Nikon D7000 to this camera. And of course I bought lenses.As I study photography, I notice how much the quality of the picture has grown - certainly the merit of the camera. Modern, albeit not the top FF with good optics - the key to good pictures.
I was afraid that the trimming of the camera would limit me. No, this did not happen. If you are not a super-duper professional, I highly recommend it! And do not need any 5DII. Now it is the best option for switching to FF.

There are some disappointments at the expense of autofocus, I don’t like cheap plastic on the screens, I want more MP and a swiveling screen. But overall, I am very pleased with the camera. If you change, then only 5DIV or better.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: FF, Wi-Fi, GPS, internal adjustment of lenses, price
Disadvantages: Not significant
Comment: The transition from the EOS 60D is painless, almost all the main functions in place, the transition from photo mode to video mode has become more convenient. Much has already been written about his positive qualities. So I do not see washed again. One thing I can say for sure: it allows you to do what was not available on the cropeted due to technical features. And when taking into account the difference in price compared to the 5D Mark3, this is a good lens for the carcass. So, that there is nothing here to water it: this is not for you, it is not for you. Do not like to add about 25 thousand and buy 5D Mark3.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Convenient pickup point, you can buy accessories on the spot, very close to the subway.
Disadvantages: not
Comment: Excellent price not only for equipment, but also for additional accessories and necessary accompanying equipment. With pleasure on the site I purchased a canon 6d body + 24-105mm + 50mm 1/4 and two filters. At Pickup, I bought additional battery + bag, conveniently and quickly. I would like to note the work of the staff of the point, did not delay, tried to help and explain everything.

Evaluation 4
Advantages: A full frame, a light, central focusing point, though slow but very tenacious (compared to a crop of up to 70 and 7D), is comfortable in your hand, DD is at a height like both iso. adjustment of the lens focus - back or front (for this reason, it was not who did not notice)
Disadvantages: 1/4000, the screen is plastic, moisture protection is so-so, the shutter resource is too small (there is 60 d on duty, you know, for example, if you shoot a wedding =), rubber linings are not reliable, all the time they come off ((damn, okay, and by the way my view is useless functions GPS and Wi-Fi (battery consuming)
Comment: Without further words, the device is crushed! I recommend advanced amateurs and professionals, of course.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: - build quality, the feeling of "serious technology" in the hands.
- tenacious center point of focus
- a very logical arrangement of buttons on the case, there is nothing to complain about only for those who switch from expensive cameras to 6D. Who goes from amateur cameras, does not feel discomfort at all.
- Light and large viewfinder
- Highlighting focus points
- a large, bright screen with settings for changing the brightness (on a sunny day, it’s just necessary + it doesn’t consume much battery).
- ISO. High range of values, good quality at ISO from 1000 (however, skill is needed, hands should not shake).
- Fast and silent shutter, silent shooting mode.
- Many settings directly in the camera, the ability to best prepare a photo for further processing.
- FF. From the first to the last photo taken on 6D, you will be elated. The difference is colossal.
- The presence of WI-FI, remote shooting. I thought I would never use it, but it happened pretty soon.
- Video. Above all bounds. Sometimes you want to take pictures instead of taking pictures, because the vividness, dynamics and colors of the pictures are fascinating. For greater effect, of course, it is better to buy a tripod, and you can make movies.
- Battery. It keeps for a very long time, although I do not try to save, sometimes WI-FI is not turned off, but 6D has never failed. I do not see the need for a second battery.
Disadvantages: - Price.I can not objectively say whether the correct amount is indicated for this model, because for me it is important, and the price, in fact, a passion for photography and justified. A beautiful picture pleases a better heart bills.
- Weak focus points for a portrait, sometimes only a separate part of the face gets into focus, but for other types of photography it will work fine, you just have to work on the diaphragm. But I want to say that I, reading the reviews, knew what I was going for, knew that Mark III had better focusing much, but it was crazy to pay more than 20,000 points for several points.
Comment: Disadvantages, as in any things, there is. But if the hands from that place grow, then they can be turned into advantages.
I recommend taking this camera and enjoying the quality and impression even from a random frame.

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Easy and convenient, good functionality and user-friendly interface. A great feature is the wireless transfer of files to a tablet or phone without using a computer. Claims for payment and delivery is not, contacted on some of the issues that have arisen with the support service, everything was intelligibly explained.
Disadvantages: Not found.
Comment: Great camera, suitable for both professionals and beginners. I recommend to everyone! You will not regret!
