Pros: -Low price-Full-frame-wifi-gps

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: The Canon 6D is a very good full-frame for its price. I used it as my first camera and I was very pleased with it. It can be used for videography or photography so it worth to buy it. I used it for portraits and automotive pictures, both of them with 85mm 1.8 USM, 50mm 1.8, 24mm 1.8 and I had nothing to complain about. I highly recomend this product, today I think you can buy it for only $450 so it is a deal.

Pros: Full Frame. Image quality. Intuitive ergonomics and menu. Juicy LP-E6 battery, shared among many prosumer EOS cameras. Smaller and lighter than 5D series. WiFi, GPS. Good high ISO performance. Silent shutter

Cons: AF system not much better than in the old 5D Mark II. Despite many design similarities with EOS 60D/70D/80D, it lacks a vari-angle touch screen. SD card slot - I'd really prefer CF (or two).

Opinion: The 6D in many ways is an improvement to the 5D Mark II - better sensor, better plastic (no rattling doors), faster shooting, WiFi, GPS, better battery life (same battery though) and the smaller size and weight is appreciated by many. The back wheel+joystick/dir-pad combo works nicely. Now I can easily operate with my right hand without taking it off the grip, while holding the lens with my left, because most of the buttons are on the right side. There are some little things, like 1/4000 maximum shutter speed, 1/180 flash sync speed or no dedicated WB button, which make it inferior, but, for me, they are not that important.

Pros: Shooting higher ISO in museums and other locations without tripods.

Cons: All cameras have strong/weak points. More focus points and an integrated flash would be an option.

Opinion: Great camera. Always trying to make the best out of it. Speed is not to bad. Made fast moving events with the 6D, like air shows, rodeos and speed boats. For certain occasions a build in flash could save the day. It is also a discrete and smaller camera than the big pro bodies where some persons have to show their wealth. New cameras on the horizon. We might see an upgraded model 6D Mark II sometimes in 2017.

Pros: From new the price

Cons: It makes videos and it is almost impossible to find one that does not have the sensor cooked, then all (including the MK2) have the defect of the upper wheel.

Opinion: If you know someone who sells it and you are sure that he did not use the video department, it could be a bargain (it depends on the price) you will only have to send it to Canon to have the wheel changed, it costs about € 200 but if it does not have the official warranty they will not even change it. It happened to me but I didn't have it repaired so after a year the problem recurs, in the end I sold it off with the wheel blocked. For the moment I use other Canon and in particular a 5d MK1 with more than 20 years behind it and more than 200,000 shots and still all the wheels and the sensor work wonderfully, even the photos for me and for those who look at them are wonderful!

Pros: Solid and light, excellent sensor, it has become a classic

Cons: no AF during video, no +/- in M mode and ISO=Auto, AF can be improved.

Opinion: After 10 years of use if it hadn't had the three flaws above, I wouldn't have felt the need to upgrade it with the mk II. (with 20 MPixel you can print well the 50x75cm). So I gave myself the new version, enjoying some improvements in addition to those already mentioned, well aware that the limit, that is, the weak link in the chain, is ME, not the car. In the ninth year I had to change the main ring (near the shutter) because it was hardening. Buying it used in good condition today for 350-400 euros is a kind of theft, so I keep it extra. Before snubbing it, I suggest you: 1) Read the manual well, possibly printing and keeping to reread them when needed, those 6 pages (out of 600) that are not clear to you. 2) Learn how to use Picture Styles, then you will understand that many of the comments you find on forums are useless and misleading. 3) Learn how to use Canon's free software. (These three tips still apply no matter what body you buy.)
