Canon EOS 6D review: The best value for money in the EOS range?
By David Newton - Wednesday, December 12, 2012 Camera Review| Introduction | Measurement | Comparisons | Conclusion |
Adding a new line to the Canon EOS range, the EOS 6D is a fusion of the EOS 7D and the EOS 5D Mark III, that also includes some trickle down technology from the EOS-1D X. How does the EOS 6D fare against its competitors and more illustrious stable mates? Our tests reveal the answer.
Announced in September 2012, the Canon EOS 6D is a high-end, full-frame camera ideal for enthusiast and advanced photographers, or professional photographers looking for a second camera body. Its resolution and AF system mark it out as a camera that is aimed at those shooting portraits or landscapes, where good resolution and a full-frame sensor are key, but where the fastest AF is not as important.

Yawn
I wouldn't have thought it possible to create a boring full-frame camera, but Canon managed it.

Re: Yawn
Cameras need photographers behind them to be not boring.

Some minor updates
As for the "Dual-SD card slots", that's only in the Nikon D600 - unfortunately the 6D only has one SD slot. Other interesting points is that it only has 1 cross-type AF point, no headphone jack for sampling the audio levels, and only a 1/180 sec max sync speed. On the plus side the wifi should work for tethering and remote control with android and iOS devices.
