Review on Canon EOS 6D Body camera, black by Kenta Omura

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Im amazed! It was definitely worth the money!

Compare with: 600D, 60D, 5DII, 7D. The size is smaller and lighter than the 7D and 5D, but much larger than the 600D. I'm still getting used to the fact that 50mm is no longer a portrait lens). Noise and dynamic range are head and shoulders above the 60 and 7D and better than the 5DII. What used to unconditionally flew into the trash can now be pulled out. Focus system. 11 dots and 1 cross dot (the D600 has 36 of them) is rather weak, but to compensate for this unfortunate fact, the central dot is endowed with a record (according to Canon) sensitivity. Compared with the rest of the points of the six itself and with the 600D. There is no reason not to believe. Everyone scolds the zooming of photos on viewing. It's unusual, nothing more. I got used to it in a week and tried to do the same on the 600D. Khayali main control wheel. Personally, I'm comfortable. Yes, it’s more convenient on a penny with a joystick, well, that’s why it’s a nickel. The shutter sound is much quieter than 600 in normal mode and completely inaudible in quiet mode. The information content of the upper display fell victim to marketing - they removed information about the settings of the BB and quality, which once made me swear a lot. The video mode wins both in comparison with the 600D, and even more so in comparison with the 5DII - a very convenient switch with an activation button, and compared to the 600D, you can use the Av and Tv modes. GPS - I haven't really used this feature yet, but it's worth noting that it finds satellites quite quickly (compared to the Nokia 5230, despite the fact that the latest data on the location and ephemeris of satellites is downloaded from the Internet). Wi-Fi is also not yet a much-requested feature, but an interesting one, if only the EOS Remote app was ated. There are no revelations about the operation of automatic exposure metering and BB, it works exactly the same as in the 600D. The only thing I can complain about is that it chronically underlights when shooting with a flash (Nissin Di622 MII). In a word - if you are deeply addicted to the Canon system and hunting for a full frame for inexpensive - 6D is your choice. Over time, I will try to notice something else.

Pros
  • Ergonomics - most of the buttons and wheels are located on one side and it is convenient to get close to them. Very grippy - in my hand - ideal. There is Wi-Fi and GPS, Very good for poor lighting. Full frame of course! The shutter sound is just music (albeit subjectively), if you set the S mode, then it is almost inaudible. The central autofocus sensor is sensitive down to -3EV. The battery is very durable. LV/Video mode switch. Camera JPEG is very, very good. HDR-mode and multi-frame noise reduction are effective but only work in JPEG.
Cons
  • Marketing is pointless and merciless. That's what it cost to leave additional functions for the buttons near the top display? And in the display itself, leave information about the selected quality and white balance? Well, the general "oakiness" of Canon matrices is no longer a disadvantage, but a feature.
