Canon 6D Review 1+ Year of Hands-on

[@danielbatts9386]

This is about the only truly useful review on the 6D. Most are very basic and boring. You cover far more in-depth information. Great video.

[@tayloredmedia2101]

Daniel Batts Completely agree, the other reviews left me with the impression that the camera wasn't worth the time or money. This video showed how much of a sweet camera this actually is.

[@danielbatts9386]

The only real complaint most people have is the small number of focus points. Considering the large number of points even much cheaper cameras have it does make you question why Canon decided to choose fewer. Unless you're doing action photos where you need to use group points to capture fast subjects, then in my opinion the number of points is more convenience than need. We only had one area to focus in the center back in the film camera days and it worked just fine.

[@dannyklesh]

Daniel Batts agree. He actually goes over the useful things and how they compare to other cameras

[@denniskeena5936]

Thank you for the in depth review.I must have watched it a dozen times before upgrading from my t3i to the 6D.After 6 months of use in sun, clouds, rain, snow, starry nights,fog and studio this camera is a solid workhorse.

[@jamesaiken_]

I know a few photographers shooting Weddings with this camera and the results are phenomenal! Bought the same myself today and your review on it has just made me more excited! Epic about the landscapes and printing too!

[@julyse7en409]

This is the video that convinced me to pick up a 6D a couple years ago. It's still my favorite camera to this day, even though I'm currently using an A7 II. Even though the Sony is technically superior on paper, it doesn't meet my needs as much as the 6D did.

[@vinayakadkoli007]

I think this is the best camera review ever i've seen from a landscape photographer's point of view !

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Vinayak!

[@notoriousgib]

omg that drum beat..

[@Stayfrosty909]

Easily one of the best reviews on KZbin and I can finally decide on the 6D and why I wanted one. Great reviews! Keep it coming!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful : ) Stay tuned, more reviews coming. Graham

[@dehv]

Great review, received my 6D last week, never been happier with a new camera.

[@breakthroughphoto]

awesome! : )

[@jr3002]

My Canon 6D is a tank. I bought it new when first released. It has been my primary camera for three solid years of Architectural Documentation type photography in/around historic buildings. It is superb in all weather - wet and sub-zero conditions. Battery life is also excellent. This camera's abilities in very dark conditions is exceptional. Only now - four years later, is this camera going to get a well earned break and become the backup to a new primary 5DmkIV body. 6D makes an awesome travel camera.

[@Chesapeakej4]

Hobbyist photographer here. "Upgraded" from the T3 to the 7D and with my purchase last night I'm onto the 6D. Thanks for doing a real world review from field tested experience. This video helped me make my decision when I watched it a few weeks ago and I really appreciate it. Fellow hiker here too; just did my first time lapse w the 7D in Yosemite this August! Looking forward to many experiences with my new L glass and 6D. Thanks again so much happy shooting!

[@dahufcom]

Best review out there, the info you provide is exactly what needed. After viewing this review for at least 20 times, I've upgraded from 600D to 6D about 3 month ago and o-m-g mind blow. This is an amazing camera, the IQ is amazing, the ISO capabilities are incredible, low light photography gets much easier and better by far, this camera is an ISO monster compared to APS-C censors. Also, for me, the added weight feels much much better while operating the camera handheld, feels much sturdier and secure. 6D is a great camera, if you're thinking to get one - get one, you won't regret.

[@k4zzt]

Very refreshing to hear a review after really using the product in the field for a year. Thanks!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thank you!

[@applepro8375]

this is the best 6D review on KZbin.

[@stevenolsen9683]

Around 18:00 you're taking about WiFi capability. Although for landscape photography you may not see the use for it, but if you're shooting weddings or an event, the ability to use the Canon Connect application (at least for Android Devices) work great and you can post to social media quickly and with Adobe Creative Cloud, you also have Lightroom so you can sync your photos immediately for backup and post processing so during a reception, you could even have a quick slideshow going.

[@RolandHoltz]

outstanding review, even 10 years later. Just bought one 6D today

[@Zenithascend]

What are your thoughts so far? Been thinking of grabbing one and wondering if I should pull the trigger or go for a 5D mark 2 or 3. Currently have the 70D and considering getting this for the full frame capability, the WiFi/ remote shooting which I use on the 70D. Mostly taking still photography and like nighttime, land scape or portraits. I would love to hear what you think

[@markm7237]

Great review! Love my 6D, and I love the iPad app for night photography. It's like tethering to a computer, easy to review the shot and adjust exposure without fiddling around in the dark with a headlamp. Especially great if you do any light painting. On one occasion in a mosquito infested area I was able to sit in my vehicle and shoot remotely as the sun set while reviewing each shot as I took it. Keep up the good work.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Mark, Thanks! Glad you could find it informative. Graham

[@prize78]

Fantastic review. Incredible images too. I've had my 6D over a year and absolutely love it. Thanks for your review.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Nick! Glad that you could find it useful. Graham

[@hywel3143]

Thanks for your in-depth review. I purchased a 6D last year (2022) purely for photography (not video). It's fantastic, and must be one of the best used buys around in 2023 with the attractive price point, amazing sensor and robust build quality. Since I don't do sports or fast-moving wildlife photography, because of the relative shortcomings you mention, the 6D is a perfect camera for me 🙂

[@cooper9917]

Thanks for the review! I just picked up a Like-new 6D this week off craigslist for only $700 with a couple of extra accessories!

[@truthkeeperfilms]

Thing is, I've owned both 5D III and 6D. What it comes down to is this, the 5D Mark III is for those who aren't shooting professional sports but shooting fast paced objects, moving, tracking subjects.. and need that 1DX 61-AF System but with the quality of 22.3mp for the quality. The 6D is purely a camera for taking awesome pictures and without the AA Filter that the 5D has, the 6D benefits from a tad bit sharper images although it lags in video performance with moire. Same case with D800 and D800E, one has the AA and other doesn't for sharper images. I first owned the 6D with 24-105mm than went to 5D with 24-105mm. Surprisingly, one of the first things I noticed was the noise on the 5D compared to the 6D. After owning it for months, I figured the 5D III was too much camera for me, so I went back to 6D. The image quality is just perfect, focus for me is typically manual so idc about 11-AF. I shoot a lot at night, so again, 6D wins. The biggest advantage 5D has is the capability to shoot 1080p in ML RAW because of the CF card, where as 6D is stuck at like 1800x460 or whatever is chosen.

[@Sotangy247]

Probably the best camera review we've ever seen!

[@johnshiever2998]

Thanks for reminding me how great the 6D performs. I had been getting new equipment syndrome with the Sony a7 that would use the Canon lenses. I notice that you are going to review a comparison soon. Great! At least for today I am once again happy with my 6D!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey John, Thanks, I'm glad you found it useful. Yes, I'll soon be uploading a video review of the Sony A7R, perhaps today or tomorrow! Stay tuned. Graham

[@viewer-sz5ou]

awesome review. sold my 5d mark 3 and bought a 6D and a red ring lens and im happier. 6d is so light and easy to use.

[@michaeldidomenico7]

This will be my next camera, as I shoot travel and landscape. I will keep my 70D for video.

[@josephkerollos]

OMG The best review ever... very professional, straight to the point, amazing photography techniques, sharing of settings, subscribed to your channel right after I finished watching the review Looking for other videos and reviews

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Joseph, Thanks a ton! Graham

[@MrDJHappyFace]

What do you think about the a7? The idea of travelling with something so small, with full frame capabilities is incredibly attractive.

[@breakthroughphoto]

I just bought the Sony A7R! Read more about my experience with it with Canon EF lenses here: www.grahamclarkphoto.com/sony-a7r-field-notes-with-canon-ef-lenses/ Working on a review of it now, and will compare it to the 6D. Graham

[@ZohairHabssaya]

Thank you Graham for this review, i like it , me to i have 6d and its amazing full frame camera

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Zohair! Thanks, glad you could find it informative. Graham

[@n1ckotene]

The 6D has always suffered from a bit of snobbery I feel as its not a 5DIII which is a shame because I love my 6D! As you say in the review for low light and landscapes it is fantastic. Incidentally, I have shot a football match and coupled with fast glass the autofocus was spot on so do not despair if your subject moves!

[@breakthroughphoto]

I agree! :) Graham

[@sinner32234432234]

A very nice and in depth review but one thing that is still in my mind is if i should splash the cash on a 5d3 or a 6d with a couple of l lenses

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks! I'm really glad that you liked the review. : ) Graham

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

My 6D is one of my favorite cameras it’s help make me a living in photography as that’s my job! Nice video lot of info for someone who’s interested in buying a 6D.

[@eddie4367]

I would agree with all your review. I've had a canon 6D for nearly a year and have basically come up with very similar results, apart from my pictures. You have beaten me hands down there but I will be there one day (maybe a year or two) lol.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Eddie, glad you found it useful! : ) Graham

[@pimvw]

Very good and honest review. Although the Wifi on the 6D isn't great, I often use it at party's so people can check there pictures directly at my Macbook (or for myself to check if the image is in-focus).

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thank you! Graham

[@PeachesandHotSauce]

Thanks for posting this, as it helped me decide to purchase the 6D. I recently upgraded from a Rebel t4i to the Canon 6D, and I am in love. It's quite a bit heavier, but the image quality is amazing. I paired it up with a low end shoulder support (I mainly use it for video), and couldn't be happier.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Awesome! Glad you like it Graham

[@722garage9]

I looked at Sony A7 and Nikon ahead of buying a 6D. After watching this, I’m glad I did as it’s affirmed my decision. A great video and will be downloading the book

[@Guio95]

You are an astonishing reviewer and photographer, it would be great if you continued to put out such high quality content. Thanks for your work!

[@saleempmna]

Super quality video. I like the way you captured it. Nice one.

[@JamboLinnman]

Great review and also had a look at your website and downloaded your eBook. Love your approach to photography and your work. A real inspiration for me to go and get the best from my newly acquired 6D!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Sean, Thanks a ton! I'm really glad you've found it useful : ) Graham

[@ilovealaska]

I take it that in 2014 the wifi was limited with the 6d. Now the app is awesome and it controlls the camera with live view on a smart phone or tablet. I use this for shooting humming birds, set the camera close and i can see live view with my iphone and focus and fire the shutter remotely. Pretty great if you ask me. also, disable the gps when you're not using the camera at night. this saves the battery. dont complain about having to turn it back on every day, just get used to it.

[@lorneturner5318]

Excellent review..got a 6dD coming my way next week. Thanks kindly...

[@badgeradventurelab6214]

Great review, video, and most importantly shots!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Bruce! Graham

[@skakdosmer]

Thanks for the review - very well made. (Although it would be even better without the music. Or what ever that irritating noise is supposed to be)

[@MrSavedByGrace05]

awesome video! i bought the 6d and i am coming from an xsi... i love it!!!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Graham

[@miguelgutierrez7397]

Very good review. Very well explained at a user level. Thanks Graham

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Miguel! Glad you could find it useful. Graham

[@paulgill3785]

Just bought one second hand as I expect the new R5 and R6 will be too expensive for me at first. Your review has made me decide that this camera is plenty good enough for my needs. Thanks.

[@FMJFilmMedia]

Wanted a full frame. Bought this camera barely used on Ebay. Very satisfied with it. I know the 5D III has all the bells and whistles but the 6D does what I need. 24-105 f/4 70-210 f/4 50 f/1.8

[@susans_painted_blessings]

This was a great video. I would love a 6D! I do worry about the weight. I have a rebel sl1 and do real estate photography and really think this would give me better pictures!!! Sigh... I look forward to seeing more videos. One thing I'd love to see in youtube videos is actually looking at a venue, talking about what ISO and f stop, shutter speed to use.. How to make those amazing photos!!!

[@kaylabeshears5512]

Susan Ostler When I went from a Rebel T5 to a 6D, I had to exercise my arms a bit to get used to the weight. I also mainly had a 70-200mm lens on it too though. My guess is you'll be alright in no time. The image quality increase is beyond worth it! If you don't have a 6D yet, I suggest going for it. Especially if you do photography for a living.

[@Mikeyt2000]

I really want this camera but i think im gonna wait till the mark ii comes out, for the price to drop, but the thing is i dont have even close to enough money but im gonna be starting a dog photography business. I have a 550d right now and a 18-55mm and a 50mm 1.8. Depending on how much the 6d mark ii will be, i might go for it i don't know i guess it also depends how much it is.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Michael, Based upon previous refresh cycle dates it will be a bit until the Canon 6D Mark II is announced, but with respect to what you want to do your current setup sounds great. Graham

[@D45Z]

Pretty much the best 6D review that I've ever watched. You just got a new subscriber ;)

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful : )

[@daAnimalDan]

Great Review Graham! I am what one might call an overly techy photo enthusiast and I constantly flirt with upgrading to full frame, but haven't made the jump yet. I'm toying with either a Nikon d610, the 6D shown here, or maybe waiting for a 6d mark II. Since its been almost 3 years since the 6d release, I'm wondering if its worth waiting. I shoot a sony a57, so no glass worth saving. I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree in HCI (UX) and i was really impressed with your reference to SEO and geo-tagged images! It's really refreshing to watch a review with someone who is as tech savvy as you and yet down to earth enough to appreciate.

[@slamming]

Good review, thanks. Im inclined to disagree on the "wifi being useless" part though. I find the EOS utility comes in handy when framing low angle shots, and it lets you use bulb mode without have to buy a separate remote. It's also handy when you dont have a PC handy and you want to send a photo to someone's phone etc. Overall, great review. I echo the comments about the long shutter speeds yet frozen motion in some of your shots (eg the grass was pin sharp). On a seperate note, are you using a 10 stop filter for most of those shots?

[@breakthroughphoto]

I agree with you, the wifi can be useful as a simple shutter release. I was more referring to the lack of an intervalometer! : ) As for the images with long exposure with something sharp, let me know which images you're referring to and I'll send you the image via email with the EXIF data. Graham

[@jerrywalker8610]

Great video! Thank you for the data on most photos. I only wish you had the information about which neutral density filter you had used. I do astrophotography and just moved up from canon t5i to the 6D. and there are features with the t5i I will miss. Tilt out screen would be one. Helpful when shooting straight up. The t5i touch screen would be another. And I wish they had put an internal intravolumeter in the camera. Someone should tell them how many of us use their cameras for time lapse photography. Thank you for the video. Keep up the great work. You give the rest of us something to strive for. Jerry Walker.

[@farmtrout66]

I have enjoyed my 6D for about a year now. Great review you have a new subscriber. Taught me some things about my camera, thanks.

[@MarkGjoel]

Great review! Also being an owner of the 6D I have actually used both the remote shooting and the wifi picture downloading (But only those two), both on Android. I think Canon has a pretty solid Android app available, and for a quick share of images where you're not close to a computer, this is a great feature!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Mark, Thanks! Actually the iOS app looks quite a bit better than on my android, but both lack an intervalometer which is what I was specifically referring to the lack thereof in the video. It really just amounts to these guys forgetting it or not wanting to put a developer on the clock for two to three hours max. Graham

[@MarkGjoel]

Even so, as a simple remote with preview I think it's quite useful. But yeah, and I'd love to make a better app for them. You get me the API, I'll code it up. Deal? :)

[@breakthroughphoto]

Mark Gjoel Canon's SDK has been out for some years now : ) www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/sdk_homepage

[@MarkGjoel]

Doesn't work for 6D wifi though. :/

[@Majed750]

Very good review but have you tried Canon 24-70mm f2/8 LII usm lens with 6D ? its awesome and one of the best lens

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Majed, Yes, I own it! Got it when it launched in Feb of 2012. It's a great lens, but twice as heavy and not as sharp as my 24-70 F4 IS. But still, for a heavier 2.8 version of the lens it's a good one! Graham

[@ryanl9504]

great review!! Will be a camera upgrade for myself soon

[@ravenbalenciaga]

Awesome video, Graham! Really informative.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Jalen : )

[@Truelight54]

My new 6D came this week and your video gives me more confidence I made the right choice. I disagree about the WiFi being useless. Connecting it to my Nexus 7 tablet I'm already finding good possibilies.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Awesome! Good to hear you're having success with the WiFi. Having WiFi definitely opens the possibilities up to app developers.

[@ttrons2]

Great review especially on the wireless feature.

[@SimonBarSynster]

I was on the fence about whether to buy the 6d or not. I'm mainly using it for portrait photography, so it seems perfect! I'm glad to see that you had done landscapes, because I do love to travel just to take photos. Thank you for a great review.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Susan, I'm glad you could find it useful! : ) Graham

[@albertkurniawanjakarta]

thanks for the review, I am in stage of get rid of my 5D mkii, 60D for 6D, now I am convince to get 6D, the wifi is my concern cause I want my clients to see the shoot from bigger screen, like ipad.

[@SkYjAcKeR666]

Great video but totally spoilt with a constant drum beat in the background

[@MichaelFrimlPhotography]

haha I almost stopped watching this video being disturbed by the monotone drum beat....no need to have any music for type of videos like this one.

[@arekkusu2006]

I wonder if the GPS "always on" feature is an anti theft measure. It needs work obviously but I think it could be awesome!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Alex, How would it be an anti-theft measure? : ) Graham

[@arekkusu2006]

Sort of a "lo-jack" feature. If it got stolen, the police could track it down (if police cared about fighting crime) I agree that it's flawed but it could be a way to recover stolen cameras. It's just an optimistic thought. We'll see what the firmware updates bring.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Alex Thibou Not technically possible :( No, this was a Canon user experience team failure. If you were to get one of these guys in-person and ask them about this issue, they'd likely say "oops". Graham

[@ActualCounterfactual]

Put some perspective to this, just remember that Professionals used EOS-D1 for their corporate work back in the days and shot fantastic images. The list-price was 6500 Eur and the resolution was a meagre 4 MegaPixel only. I have shot on many models over 30 years (including pre-digital) and I now want a new body for photography (only). Since I don't shoot fast action buying a 6D is a no brainer + I know it will last me years to come and quality of images will be top notch. Exceptional value for the money.

Without doubt a good honest review and a pleasure to watch, thanks!!

[@breakthroughphoto]

Great review. I have the 6D too, with over 40k clicks on it. Nice to see you have the same findings as well. Although the focusing sometimes bites me, still loving the 6D.

Joram Janssen Hey Joram, Couldn't agree more about the AF. Graham

[@phillipcifone8974]

Best review I have seen out of the 50 different ones I have probably watched/read in anticipation and education before purchasing this camera. That said, I have three questions. 1.) Do you love this camera? 2.) What are your "go-to" lenses? 3.) What happened to the website you directed us to at the end of the video? I was really hoping to download a PDF of that book. Thank you for this review.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Phillip! Could that you could find it useful. 1. Love? No, it's just a camera. 2. Canon 17-40mm F4, and now the Canon 16-35mm F4 IS 3. Thanks for altering me! I just fixed the issue. Here's the link: www.grahamclarkphoto.com/review-canon-eos-6d/ If you have any questions let me know! Graham

[@breakthroughphoto]

Almost forgot to mention - I just did a Canon 16-35 F4 Review which you can find here: www.grahamclarkphoto.com/canon-16-35mm-f4-review-hands-on-shootout-17-40/ I do an optical shootout between the Canon 16-35 F4 vs. the 17-40, which are both great lenses, in my opinion. Graham

[@jvdejesus05]

Great review on the Canon 6D. This is very timely for me as I am going to dive into buying one tomorrow actually. Good job.

[@GrahamClark]

Awesome, glad you found it useful! Graham

[@gregr1154]

this was a good real-life feedback / review! my only gripe is those drums - LESS DRUMS!!! but great of you to point out the wifi / gps stuff. I hadn't thought about the long-term benefits of GPS'ing images.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Greg, Thanks! As for the drums, yes I've gotten that feedback thanks so much. KZbin won't allow me to re-upload without the drum track, but all future videos won't have that : ) Graham

[@DSLaurens]

Awesome review, I own my 6D for about a year now and think it's one of the most underrated cameras out there. But i'm not a PRO shooter so I don't blame anyone if the camera doesn't meet their requirements. With what I don't agree is that the WI-FI is useless, I use it all the time as a remote and as a backup when my mac is not with me. So I can't see why you don't like the feature.

[@kranti12comment]

I ordered this camera may it helps me to captures greats landscape photos.

[@breakthroughphoto]

[@breakthroughphoto]

[@MikePanov]

Fantastic job. Made me that much more excited about this camera.

[@mkfotoeu]

I'm interested why you found the iOS Remote App useless. Could you share your detailed thoughts on that matter?

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Mitya, I should have mentioned int he review that I was referring most specifically to the lack of intervalometer functionality, which I rely on with nearly every shot! Graham

[@mkfotoeu]

Hi Graham, I'm with you on that. I suspect they do this on purpose so that people still buy the standalone Canon intervalometer, since I suspect more and more Canon DSLRs will get WiFi built in... And, for what it's worth, Nikon has been integrading intervalometers in their bodies for quite some time now...

[@breakthroughphoto]

Mitya K Hey Mitya, I would suspect the same, but notice how this doesn't solve the problem? As for Nikon intervalometers, it's only effective up to 30 seconds, so in nearly all situations the built-in intervalometer on Nikons doesn't do the job. But for things under 30 seconds it's pretty awesome! : ) Graham

[@PreFontaineRC76]

Awesome review. First review I've seen that has really gone into depth about whether the 6D keeps up with all of the 5D's in the image quality department. It looks like this will be my next upgrade to my original 5D that I love so much! Thanks!

[@JefferyAHoward]

I love this camera. I will say I sometimes have to shoot for the highlights and then develop the shadows, but It still works great for my needs..

[@SILVERSETFILMS]

Great very helpful review. One thing though about WIFI. I think it's critical on out locations where makes it able to instantly check for detailed qualities of a picture. Too many times after coming back to my desk I kept noticing somewhat soft edges and other tiny things that are basically un-noticeable on 3"view finder. Instant check turned out to be a virtual life saver even if it takes few minutes to set it up. It's ALL SO WORTHY!

[@kcannon]

Excellent video, very useful. Thanks, Graham.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Thanks Kelly! Glad you found it useful.

[@mobattah1708]

This was great review. I just got my 6D and I'm still learning how to use it. Thank you very much.

[@Bareego]

Really addresses the main pros and cons. Great sensor for colour rendition, noise and dynamic range. Not an action camera, the focus system is not that great. If you shoot a lot of portrait like I do and you move the focus point away from the only cross point which is in the center, expect to get quite a few misses with the focusing.

[@rekt6430]

Nice review!! Unlike 5d mark III, 6d does not come with a glass screen cover but instead a plastic one. I wonder if you use a screen protector to protect your camera screen from scratches? If you do, what protector are you using? If you don't, how is your 6d's LCD screen cover holding up now? And the top info display? I recently purchased a 6d, struggling whether or not I should purchase a screen protector for it.

[@breakthroughphoto]

Hey Neal, I don't use screen protectors on either! Not many scratches at all, and zero big scratches. Graham

[@MsSasha4444]

This was a very helpful review...the best of the many that I have read or watched. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to put together a very balanced review of the 6D.

Excellent review! Thanks for sharing! Only one negative and that is the drums in the background. They distract from the quality of the video.

Great Video for Landscape. It would be great if you can come up with 6D's performance for 1) Birds 2) Wildlife 3) Sports 4) GLamour

WiFi is actually very useful as a monitor when you shoot video, and as for intervalometer, you can always install Magic Lantern and enhance your experience with countless options

Fantastic review. You mentioned that it would be great for low light photography but would you choose it over a 5dmkiii for Theatre Photography. Would the extra AF points on the mkiii be more beneficial. Thanks

Hey Richard, Thanks! If you shoot low lit subjects on low F-numbers 80% of the time or more, more AF points may be beneficial. Then again, there's many pros still using the 5D2 which has less than the 6D. Graham

The Canon 6D still rocks in 2024 for still photography. Good glass on the 6D and a good eye = great images.

How often do you use a polarizing filter in tandem with a heavy ND filter? Plan on doing a lot of timelapse, would like to know if not both together, which you use more often for skyscape TL - polarizer or ND. Thanks for posting this, glad to learn what you said about the low-light capabilities of the 6D.

Nice review, I'd been looking for a bit more info on this camera.

[@skorptheengineer]

This camera is so amazing it's always by my side. Just watching this vide makes me want to buy another.

Man, what a review. Fantastic! The best HD video I have seen. Full of detail and wonderful photos and most importantly, shooting data. I have been shooting with a 7D and just bought a 6D for the censor. My 6D was meant to be the second camera...but I can't see that remaining that way. I like to point my camera skywards(well towards the horizon really) for some astro work. But I always found the ISO range, well a bit narrow. But the 6D...different planet. Thanks again guys.....Awsome!! Regards Peter
