Pros:Ergonomic body, Full Frame, AWB, colors, intuitive menu.
Cons:No joystick, fast 1/4000 time, focus points all in the center, burst.
Opinion:I come from an old Canon 7D and have been using this camera for 5 years now. Definitely a small but ergonomic camera, with good autofocus and able to offer a clean file with fantastic colors. The AWB is handled very well as the ISO is more than sufficient (you don't notice the noise until ISO 3600, then it starts to get worse. Experimenting I noticed that at ISO 10000 the file is unusable but you never use this sensitivity so ok) and the MPixels perfect for a FF that knows how to do its job very well. The machine is very good overall and in relation to the price. You miss the Joystick at first, but then you get used to it. Fast times of up to 1/4000 and burst of up to 6 fps make it unsuitable for nature and/or sports use. The real trauma is in the focus points that are too crowded in the center of the image and often force you to have to focus and reframe the scene if you want to focus on something just outside the center of the frame.
Pros:Vari-angle screen, dual pixel live view, electronic level in the viewfinder, quieter shutter than the previous version, 26 megapizzas, white priority Awb.
Cons:Shameful syncro flash compared to even the old 1ds mkiii I had, Af points concentrated in the center.
Opinion:For me nothing to complain about, despite the fact that I have had canon cameras and still own the 6d combined with the 40stm for demanding mountain trips, this has improved some of those things that I would have liked, such as the accuracy of the WB and a decent focus and the plus of the adjustable monitor. Nothing to complain about the use I make of it, landscape and rarely some portraits.
Pros:FF sensor, file quality, robust construction, tropicalization, available optics, current price
Cons:For the use I make of it, practically none
Opinion:I've been using this machine for several months and I was coming from a 1300d, so the jump was huge. I mainly photograph landscapes, so I can't express too much about the goodness of the autofocus and the distribution of the relative points, however I can say that for the use I make of it and for the few portraits I have taken, it still seems more than good to me. Clearly, on that side, you can't expect the features now present on all mirrorless cameras (e.g. Eye Focus in the viewfinder). The sensor seems great to me, although some complain of a worse dynamic range compared to the first version of the 6D; The files it produces are of great quality and widely "workable" in post production, maybe you can have small difficulties only in case of extreme recoveries on the shadows (but it is something that I personally almost never do, I only recover a few stops, I do not pretend to shoot underexposing 5 stops and then recover the photo). The sealing at high ISO is excellent, now with the noise reduction improved through Lightroom or Photoshop AI you can easily take photos, exposing well during shooting, at 3200/6400 ISO without losing too much fine details and without having too much penalizing noise. The range of lenses available on this camera is clearly infinite, having EF mount and the price at which it is currently found, both in the new and in the used, in my opinion make it the perfect FF for those like me who do not want to spend a fortune on the camera body, preferring to invest in the lenses to match. I highly recommend it.
Pros:Automatic white balance, quality of files in general, high ISO sealing, battery life
Cons:In theory the dynamic range, in practice nothing
Opinion:Last year, on a special occasion, as a surprise, I was given this camera as a gift. I come from an 80d and until then I had only used APSC systems, so my judgment will certainly not be as precise as that of those who have tried other FFs and have a broader vision. Overall, in my opinion, nothing to say. The quality of the files is really good and the jump from the lower format is very noticeable. Excellent construction and excellent grip. To the touch it gives an excellent feeling of stability and sturdiness. The battery life is practically eternal, especially when used with the optical viewfinder. The high iso resistance for me is very good and sufficient to cover you in 90% of situations, even with lenses that are not excessively bright. The automatic white balance is almost never wrong. Some complain about the lack of dynamic range; Honestly, I too, especially doing landscape, at the beginning I was quite perplexed pulling up the shadows in high/medium contrast scenes, but after hitting my head several times I learned to "tame" it and honestly I didn't have any more problems. The fact that it doesn't forgive extreme recoveries doesn't mean it sucks as many people say. You simply need to know its limits and adjust accordingly to make the most of it. As far as the focus is concerned, it seemed precise to me, but photographing mainly static subjects I can't make specific judgments. In my case, however, I always felt good even in those few moving scenes that I photographed, so nothing to say. PS: To make the most of the potential of this camera body (and not only) I recommend converting Raw files with Canon's native software (DPP) instead of Camera Raw or Lightroom; You'll get colors and file quality unmatched by any other software and you'll make the most of your sensor's performance.
Cons:It is no longer even remotely related to the wonderful rendering of the 6D and continues to be awkward AF, although more precise than the previous one. In the viewfinder when you illuminate a focus point turns on red and you can no longer see anything
Opinion:As usual, Canon does one thing and gets two wrong. The old 6D was for me the best sensor ever produced by Canon in terms of color rendering and three-dimensionality. Not a dynamic range to be surprised, but it was one of my favorites on par with that of the Nikon DF. It was enough to make the AF better, which was to be desperate, and to make the selection of AF points simple and direct. None of this. Forget forever the beauty of the old sensor of the 6D: this in addition to being flat and ordinary, no longer gives the magic that was created previously. The selection of AF points has remained slow and cumbersome even if the focus on the sides has certainly improved. Well, isn't it? No... Because instead of illuminating only the sensor in use in red, a 1000-watt headlight lights up that no longer lets you see anything of the viewfinder. I keep it, together with the R (another failure) just to be able to use some EF L series lenses of which I do not dare to undoRMI.
