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: the b / w is really good, falici menu, simplicity of focus points (essential).

Cons: very bad in the management of medium / high ISO, sometimes not precise in the single focus points other than the center.

Opinion: It is actually an excellent camera body and this is demonstrated by Canon's choice to make a second version which, in my opinion, remains Canon's best SLR (considering quality / price ratio). Robust, practical and versatile for every shooting situation. The ISO issue is a really sore point. I always remain stupid about excessive noise at really low levels (I'm talking about 4000 ISO. Working with fixed optics, the problem is greatly mitigated but the difficulty of the sensor to manage the ISO is always noticeable.

Pros: Lightweight, ergonomic, beautiful rows and easy to use.

Cons: currently there would be several if compared to ML, but it does not seem to me the case to make comparisons in 2021.

Opinion: I am happy owner of this car since 2012 and I can say with certainty (peek at my gallery) that the young lady still behaves very well. I remember that at the exit he made many turn up their noses for the simple fact of the shutter speed at 1/4000, to me as a landscaper no. From the moment that I am able to make me pass any monkey I can tell you that the difference between this machine and the most recent ones remains only in the speed, the 6D is a reflex for quiet amateur photographers accustomed to thinking control and recheck what you are doing during shooting, it is certainly not a tip and shoot. I said previously only speed 'because' at the file level if exposed correctly you do not notice the difference with an identical file taken but' with a FF today, I can say for sure because' I tried several SLR and ML and none has satisfied me to the point of making an upgrade, you want for the weight, you want for the price I did not feel it. As for the dynamic range (because it is what interests everyone) we are normal, obviously we do not do miracles but we are satisfied because in my opinion in the shooting phase you have to control everything and doing it well you can take away some nice satisfactions with the 6d, too convenient to say so much if I am wrong I recover the shadows in postproduction. Currently you will find a 6D at an honest price and trust that if you want to learn this is the perfect machine.
