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:Reliable, good ergonomics, intuitive use, battery life, very high Q/P ratio
Cons:Inaccurate AF with poor light, sensor that gets dirty with ease
Opinion:I used this machine body for many years with great satisfaction and taking several thousand photos. It is still part of my kit, although alongside other machine bodies, I certainly will not separate it so quickly. Without having entered to squeeze all the available features, I found the 6D versatile, intuitive, quite manageable and the results almost always satisfied me. Negative notes concern the difficulty of focusing with low light, the inaccurate sharpness at the extreme edges of the frame and the ease of obtaining flares in cases of backlight even non-extreme while using quality optics. 6D, however, remains an excellent body, super recommended especially now that it is on the market at very affordable prices.
Pros:20 Mpixel, high ISO seal, reliability, battery life, used price
Cons:Nothing so burdensome. It doesn't excel at focus speed (but it depends on what you photograph).
Opinion:Purchased about a year and a half ago to support the 70d. Focus speed is the only flaw I honestly encounter. However, it seems to me to be precise and reliable; I only use the center point and recompose, so I don't lament the few af dots (just know it). Always comparing the two machines in my possession, perhaps it lacks the adjustable screen that in certain situations is convenient, but even here it is enough to get used to it. Convenient is the WIFI that in some cases compensates for the lack of the posable screen (with mobile phone and APP). The thing that is FANTASTIC is the high ISO seal, it really impressed me: at 3200/6400 (and with the right PP) you clean the noise from the photos excellently. I also find the recovery of shadows very good. We are, of course, talking about an 'old' machine, but still excellent considering the current price of used car; if you want to switch to FF, without fainting and without technological pretensions, I think it is the optimal solution! Highly recommended!
