Pros: Image quality, especially at high ISO, overall performance all in all in line with the price, versatility, attractive price
Cons: Electrical problems, not particularly reliable exposure meter
Opinion: Although there have been controversial aspects, my opinion of the 6D is certainly positive. The construction is not impeccable but it is still the entry level full frame, for more performing materials and realizations there are the superior models. What I particularly liked was the quality of the images churned out by the camera, clean and well workable, in many cases I was pleasantly surprised by the results, in several situations exceeding expectations. The colors were also definitely appreciated. Coming from a 60D the leap in quality has been remarkable, the images have acquired a greater depth, perhaps helped in this by the greater vignetting compared to the shots obtained from the APS-C body, in any case the overall pleasantness has had an absolutely perceptible improvement. I encountered some problems with the exposure meter, not exactly the best precision, but the biggest problems were purely electrical. In one case, during a trip to France, the car left me on foot refusing to turn on, a failure then attributable to the micro switch that detects the closure of the cover relating to the battery compartment, subsequently replaced under warranty. In the situation in question I got away with using the 60D that I had with me as a second body. But even later I encountered a fairly annoying problem, again of an electrical nature, consisting of the rapid and sudden discharge of the batteries. Among other things, always using the battery grip. It happened to me on several occasions that the car, laid down the night before with both batteries fully charged, I found it the next morning with the same completely on the ground, without energy and totally discharged. Thick mystery about the causes, after three service interventions without resolution the camera was replaced, however the problem recurred identically even with the new camera, even changing the battery grip. Incidentally, both the batteries and battery grips were all original Canon. In my humble opinion, the problem was inherent in a trivial discontinuous electrical dispersion, which could occasionally occur without particular evidence, with the result that it quickly led the batteries to complete discharge. Apart from this annoying aspect, however, I still own the 6D and from time to time I use it for a few shots without obligation. However, it is always a pleasure to see the images he produces. |
