The quality is top notch and I recommend the product for purchase.

Since switching to a full-frame Canon 6D Mark II from a cropped Canon 650D, I've been thinking about branching out into portraiture in addition to the landscape, travel, urban (URBEX), astronomical, and reportage photography that I now specialize in. As I just have a few years of experience with photography, I only shoot in M or B mode (for ultra-long exposures).

Theme park for the eyes:
To wit: EF 24-105 F/4L IS USM
A version of the EF 70-300mm F/4-5.6 lens. III
2.8-aperture, EF-15 Fisheye
New Hellios 44-M4 (58 mm F/2-F/16), Sigma 15-30 F/3.5-4.5 EX ASPHERICAL IF DG
The revolutionary Jupiter 37A (135 mm, F/3.5 - F/22)

Of course, I could have just as easily taken the first six off your hands, and in all likelihood, I would have saved a great deal of money on this and would have lost a little bit. However, I really wanted to take a brand-new, state-of-the-art camera, and in that respect, it completely satisfied me. Raw files are gorgeous (I shoot only in them), ergonomics, and a top screen that I find personally useful. The rotating screen is essential for landscape photography, and the camera also has excellent LiveView autofocus and good depth of field (DD) if you approach photography with your head. These characteristics are what make this camera unique.

One of the most notable changes from the crop is that the 1.6 crop factor is no longer in effect. This forced me to broaden my perspective, but it was too much magnification for my telephoto lens. Yet, the resolution is high enough that cropping the image itself can be done in a pinch without sacrificing too much quality. Large megapixel counts are unnecessary for online use.
When shooting in full frame, the depth of field and the bokeh created by older equipment were more apparent.

It's very clear that professionals aren't the target audience for this camera; rather, it's designed for hobbyists like myself, who can benefit from its great full-frame capabilities, state-of-the-art technology, and user-friendly interface. All assertions of its existence may be traced back to the consumer's ever-present urge to cut costs and stock up on more goods at a lower price.

Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that the camera is only a tool that allows us to make the final product, which is a photograph; however, the worth and significance of the photograph are solely reliant on the photographer and nothing else.

Pros

1. After cropping the 650D, the whole frame's dynamic range 2. Focusing is possible in both LiveView and during recording with Dual Pixel CMOS AF. 3. Canon's full-frame tilting display. When shooting in low light, the electronic level function and glove mode can help immensely in precisely setting the horizon in your composition. Already, it's a huge improvement over the 650D's screen, which had their first touch screen. 4. The camera includes a time-lapse feature. You may set it to take images at set intervals and save them to a memory stick, or you can shoot straight into the video. The camera's delayed shutter release gives you more time to adjust colors after recording, making it ideal for time-lapse photography in 4K. 5. The ability to stabilize video electronically. The less severe of the two options for image stabilization also causes the greatest cropping to occur. When coupled with an IS lens like the original 24-105L IS USM, the minimal crop factor is able to withstand a bang with relative ease. 6. Full HD at 60/50 frames per second produces stunning visuals. After 30 frames, it still looks beautiful, but that was not my aim when I took it. 7. The control and ergonomics have been upgraded. Many controls, such as two wheels, a joystick, and a rotatable touch screen, are always within easy reach. The design of the handle is ergonomic and pleasant to hold. Comfortable in the hand. The camera's settings can be adjusted wirelessly. Just touching the phone to the camera will initiate an NFC-based WiFi connection. 8. Discharging the battery all the way is really difficult. You can use it with your existing Canon camera if you already own an LP-E6 battery. 9. Very poor protection against dust and moisture. I used the 650ku almost exclusively, with the exception of when sitting in a puddle during a downpour, and when shooting in caves, dungeons, and otherwise abandoned places; nothing untoward happened to it, save for a dirty matrix, which is easily cleaned (and here the margin of safety will be added to this). 10. After a long journey, it can be very difficult to determine, from the provided maps, exactly where in the woods a particular photograph was taken. This is why the satellite-based geographical positioning provided by a global positioning system (GPS) is such a useful tool. When turned on, one mode requires a signal at regular intervals while the other mode consumes infinite power even while the device is off.

Cons

1. A crop camera's phase detection autofocus sensor, with focus points that are too far to the center of the frame, making manual focusing more difficult but nevertheless producing sharp results. Even though the viewfinder covers 98% of the frame, its strong zoom of 0.71x makes wide-angle photography difficult (24mm and wider). 2. The camera cannot be powered via the USB port, which is featured in the EOS R. A Chinese vendor offers a solution, which consists of a false battery and USB output, although the setup is more involved. The original charger can't be charged with a USB cord either, but the Chinese have already solved that problem years ago. Even without the USB 2.0 speed, the Micro USB connector remains an anachronism (in 5D mark IV - USB 3.0). They were naturally insatiable speed demons. 3. There is only one SD card slot. 4. But I'd prefer 1/8000 to 1/4000. Keep in mind that Canon is also trying to move units of the 5D mark IV and that your expectations should reflect that before making a purchase. I'd like to address some of the criticisms that have been voiced in other reviews, namely: 1. 4K? If 4K were added here, it would merely be in the form of a plug with a strong crop, and the quality wouldn't even be brought up, which would be an even worse development. Other solutions are available for this problem, ones that are better suited for video, and Canon makes a camera called the 5D Mark IV. 2. Bad meter readings or DD - Get some shooting practice in! Locate the menu option that offers a metering mode selection. Adjust the exposure meter by the necessary number of stops if the third-party lens distorts the image. In general, though, it's best to avoid overexposing the bright part of the frame when the other half is under shadow. There's an HDR mode that lets you do this with 3/5/7 stops of exposure, and you can easily turn it off. 3. There is a lot of noise when using a high ISO. The main cause of this issue is a failure to properly understand the signal-to-noise ratio. As higher signal levels mean less noise, you may use an ISO as high as 6400 to take quite serviceable cityscape shots here. Under the lights at ISO6400, you will obtain a good shot, but if you take the picture in the middle of the forest or the park away from the lights, you will get noisy images at ISO100.
