The Canon EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens is a full-frame 20.2MP DSLR offering exceptionally high image quality and detail while providing compatibility and convenience through its design and features. When paired with the powerful DIGIC 5+ image processor and 14-bit A/D conversion, the full-frame sensor is capable of recording vivid imagery with expanded sensitivity up to ISO 102400. The processing power also affords intelligent noise reduction techniques and the ability to record continuous still images at a rate up to 4.5 full resolution fps.

The 6D employs an 11-point autofocus system for acquiring precise focus regardless of the shooting situation, which is further enhanced by a center cross-type focus point for improved low-light focus sensitivity. The iFCL 63-zone dual layer metering sensor also benefits from the autofocus system when making exposure measurements, and also analyzes color and luminance values within the scene to determine accurate exposure settings.

Full HD video recording is possible up to 1080/30p in the All I-frame or IPB compression, as well as the standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. When recording HD video, full manual control over exposure and sound is possible, enabling you to take complete control over the final appearance of your movies.

Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS technologies also provide extensive connectivity to the 6D. The built-in Wi-Fi capability allows you to take remote control over the 6D when used in conjunction with the Canon EOS Remote app (available for iOS and Android), as well as instantly share the images from your camera to your phone or to the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. The GPS receiver will automatically record locational data and embed this information into the metadata of your images, allowing you to geotag your shots and map out where each shot was taken.

The 6D features a smaller form factor compared to other full-frame DSLRs, but still integrates a large 3.0" 1,040K-dot TFT LCD monitor for clear playback and review of your imagery. The construction of the body integrates an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis within a magnesium and polycarbonate shell for durability while still maintaining a lightweight profile.

Included with this kit is Canon's EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF lens. This standard zoom lens provides a useful range of focal lengths from wide angle to standard portrait length. It features Image Stabilizer Technology for reduction of camera shake up to 3 stops and is constructed with 1 Super-UD glass element and 3 aspherical lenses for great image clarity.

20.2 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor, 14-Bit A/D Conversion, DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
The large full-frame 20.2 megapixel CMOS sensor offers a high level of image quality with attention given to sharpness, detail, and depiction of colors and tones within a scene. Due to increased information and detail, a larger sensor is capable of producing greater visual depth and smoother gradients and tonal transitions. Additionally, a large sensor provides more leeway to control the plane of focus and apply selective focus techniques.

This sensor delivers images with a maximum resolution of 5472 x 3648 pixels, with a pixel size of 6.55 µm square, for greater reception of light and a lower signal-to-noise ratio. This pixel structure works in close collaboration with the DIGIC 5+ image processor, and its 14-bit A/D conversion, to produce a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expanded to ISO 50-102400.

In addition to contributing to the low-light sensitivity, the DIGIC 5+ processor also delivers overall speed and power to the 6D and utilizes dual 4-channel A/D converter front-end processing circuits for expedited conversion of both JPEG and RAW file formats. This enables a maximum continuous shooting rate of 4.5 full resolution frames-per-second as well as greater noise reduction when working at higher ISOs. The DIGIC 5+ processor also provides real-time compensation for chromatic aberration when working with both still and moving imagery.
11-Point Autofocus System
The 6D integrates an 11-point AF system for fast and precise focusing regardless of your subject matter or working situation. These 11 points provide even coverage across the entire frame while a more refined center cross-type point with EV -3 sensitivity provides more efficient, accurate low-light focusing. One-shot AF, AI Servo AF, and AI Focus AF are all available depending on one's needs, and furthermore the AI Servo mode is customizable in regard to focus tracking, acceleration, and deceleration sensitivities, as well as 1st or 2nd image priority adjustments. Lens data can also be entered and customized within the camera for greater focus refinement when working with wide-angle or telephoto lenses.

Also contributing to sharp focus, the 6D incorporates a large, bright pentaprism viewfinder with 21mm eye point and 97% frame coverage for clear viewing of the scene. This construction greatly benefits the manual focusing capabilities, as well as general low-light composition.
iFCL 63-Zone Dual Layer Metering Sensor
An intelligent metering system works in conjunction with the autofocus system and independently analyzes focus, color, and luminance within the scene for the most precise exposure settings possible. The 63 zones cover the entire image area with great detail and the dual-layer design permits a wider sensitivity to different wavelengths of light.

The dual layers are split into a red/green channel and a blue/green channel; which counters the red light sensitivity bias electronic sensors inherently have. A series of algorithms are employed to combine data received from both layers, with the resulting exposure reading being extremely accurate regardless of the shooting conditions.

This metering system employs evaluative, center-weighted, and spot metering methods to determine exposure, as well as allowing for a +/- 5 EV exposure compensation for greater manipulation of the determined exposure setting.
EOS HD Video
Full HD video recording is supported in multiple formats, including 1080/30p, 24p, 25p; 720/60p, 50p; 480/60p, 50p. While recording video, a 4GB automatic file partition is employed in order to gain longer continuous recording times, up to 29 minutes 59 seconds. Both All I-frame (requires UHS-I memory card) and IPB compressions are supported as well as the standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec. Embedding the time code is also possible for greater convenience when recording with multiple cameras.

Video performance is further enhanced with the ability to manually adjust your exposure settings and audio levels; exposure can be adjusted using both aperture and shutter speed variables, and sound can be managed through a 64-level volume control. Additionally, an external stereo microphone can be used and is connected through the 3.5mm microphone terminal.

The DIGIC 5+ processor also dramatically improves video response times and helps to reduce color artifacts, aberrations, and moiré while providing the ability to record with sensitivities up to ISO 25600 in H mode.
Built-In Wi-Fi and GPS
Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS technologies enable highly functional connectivity with other devices, including the ability to instantly share imagery from your camera and geotag your photographs.

Exposure settings can be controlled remotely from your smartphone when using Canon's proprietary iOS and Android app, Canon EOS Remote, allowing you to make exposures and modify camera settings from a distance. You can also review imagery from your camera on your smart device, and transfer files wirelessly. Full DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatibility is supported, which enables you to share your images from the 6D with other household products such as HDTVs, tablets, and other Wi-Fi-enabled Canon cameras. You are also able to upload still images directly to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, allowing you to then easily share images with social networking sites without the use of a computer.

The GPS receiver functions similarly and is able to record locational data (longitude, latitude, altitude, and universal coordinated time) as EXIF data which is then embed into your image files. This then permits you to track where your images were recorded and view your exact route traveled.
Efficient Design
The EOS 6D contains a large full-frame sensor within a compactly-sized body for greater portability without sacrificing image quality. The body features an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis with magnesium polycarbonate resin exterior for durability, as well as a shutter rated up to 100,000 cycles.

Also contributing to the efficiency of design, an Integrated Cleaning System permits internal dust removal. To counter the effects of dust within the housing, the glass filter is cleaned through ultrasonic vibration and the dust particles are collected by an adsorbent. This unit is completely sealed from external contaminants, and the optical low-pass filter features an anti-dust fluorine coating for ease in removing more substantial dust particles.
3.0" Clear View LCD Monitor
The 3.0" Clear View TFT LCD provides high quality viewing with a 1,040,000-dot resolution and anti-reflection coating. This allows for sharp and clear viewing in even the brightest of conditions and displays images and videos with great detail and richness. The display also features a viewing angle up to 160° for review from the side or below.

When used in conjunction with Live View mode, a smaller display is placed over the image. Live View mode permits real-time image review and can also place grid lines over the image for compositional help. A built-in electronic level is available for maintaining consistent horizons or for lining up parallel lines within a scene. You can also zoom into and navigate within the image when in Live View and use the grid lines for minute control and precision over the alignment of your photograph.
Built-In HDR and Multiple Exposure Modes
A High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode is available and allows for the creation of HDR images in-camera, reducing the time needed to manually overlay images in post-production. When using this mode, a series of bracketed exposures are made of the same image, then automatically integrated into the same frame, resulting in a photograph without blown highlights or blocked up shadows and a long middle range of tones. This mode is especially useful when photographing scenes with a great deal of contrast.

Multiple exposures are also possible in-camera and up to 9 exposures can be recorded onto a single file using 2 distinct settings for control. When in Additive mode, this closely resembles making multiple exposures on film and layers each exposure; manual exposure compensation is required. Average mode layers the images and automatically compensates for the final exposure, eliminating the unintended possibility of gross under or overexposure. Multiple exposures can be recorded in either JPEG or RAW formats, and furthermore you can utilize an existing RAW image as a starting point from which to layer subsequent images onto, which can then be manipulated in real time on the LCD.
Scene Intelligent Auto and Special Scene modes
Scene Intelligent Auto mode incorporates a number of Canon's automatic exposure technology together in order to output a well-refined exposure. Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure are all employed to intelligently analyze the scene at hand and produce the most effective exposure settings to clearly render your subject matter.

Special Scene modes also help to enhance your imagery by applying a system of corrections for use in more difficult lighting situations. Handheld Night Scene automatically captures four consecutive exposures, at shutter speeds fast enough to handhold, and layers them into a single frame. This allows you to effectively record images in darker situations without the need of a tripod or stabilization device. HDR Backlight Control works in the same manner and records a series of exposures at different values to ensure highlight and shadow values are not lost. These under and over-exposed images are blended to create a final image with a wider dynamic range.
Other Features
  • Compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC, including Ultra High Speed (UHS-I), memory cards.
  • Peripheral illumination, chromatic aberration, and distortion corrections are available and programmable through a menu of different available EF lenses. This lens data is used to automatically correct for each individual lens' traits to produce the cleanest image possible.
  • In-camera RAW processing and JPEG resizing are available to allow for expedited offloading of imagery that is instantly reading for the method in which you intend to share it.
  • Comparative playback allows you to view two images side-by-side in order to expedite editing procedures on the camera's LCD
  • Silent shooting is a low-vibration shooting mode that slows and mutes the shutter and mirror reflex, enabling a more discrete method of capturing imagery.
  • Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens
    Providing an adequate range of focal lengths, this standard zoom lens is constructed with 1 Super-UD glass element and 3 aspherical lenses for a high level of image clarity and a reduction in chromatic aberration and distortion. It also features Image Stabilizer Technology for a 3 stop advantage over camera shake. Its design incorporates the same dust and weatherproofing as the camera for protection from the elements in a wide range of situations.

    Worthy Upgrade for a Rebel User

    Canon 6d ReviewI've now been using my 6d for a bit over a week and feel that I've handled it enough to write a comprehensive review. First, let me tell you that I upgraded ...Read complete review

    Canon 6d ReviewI've now been using my 6d for a bit over a week and feel that I've handled it enough to write a comprehensive review. First, let me tell you that I upgraded from a Rebel T2i, which I absolutely loved. I'm by no means a pro, and I don't typically get paid for my work; but I would classify myself as a photo enthusiast. I travel a lot and size and weight were factors in my decision to go with the 6d. I also like to shoot with available light, which is why I wanted to go full frame for the high ISO performance. For some reason it says I purchased the body only, but I actually bought the kit.Let me address some of the "cons" that people are complaining about right out of the gate. I'm going to assume that most people considering the 6d are like me - looking to upgrade from a nice point and shoot style camera or a Rebel series or other APS-C style DSLR. Nearly everything that people are stating are "cons" I never had on my Rebel in the first place, so I don't miss these features. The AF system has gotten a lot of attention, but on my Rebel, I used the center point 90% of the time for focusing. The center point on the 6d is just amazing. It focuses in an almost completely dark room. Certainly it will be able to focus for any situation when you are going to shoot hand held. I will take the simplified control of 11 AF points and an absolutely fantastic center focus point over 61 points (caveat: I don't shoot sports or other fast moving objects so I wouldn't really benefit from the addition points for tracking a moving subject).I rarely, if ever, shoot video so not having a headphone jack doesn't bother me in the slightest. Also, not having a built in flash is no big deal to me either. I'm going to assume that people looking at this price range for a camera have an external flash and understand the limitations of a built in flash. I never used the one on my Rebel anyway. Finally, not having two SD card slots doesn't seem like a big loss to me. While I think the redundancy of two slots might be nice, I've never had an SD card fail on me and perpetually back up my images anyway.24-105mm f/4 Kit Lens:Honestly this was probably what was holding me back the most about going full frame. I previously have been using the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and I have to say that better than 90% of my pictures taken with my T2i were shot using this lens. While the 17-55 doesn't have a red ring or L in its name, it defiantly can run with the L glass. I worried that going from a relatively fast 2.8 (EF-S lenses do not fit on the 6d) to an f/4 would be limiting, but I also didn't want to give up IS and the 24-70mm was out of my price range anyway. Let me say that given the higher ISO performance, I don't really miss the stop I lost going to an f/4 lens. I actually like having a bit more reach with the 24-105. I would defiantly have kept my 17-55 f/2.8 if I could have, but I also don't feel limited by the 24-105 f/4. In the future I plan to get the 16-35 f/2.8 for use alongside the 25-105 f/4. So in summary, if you are like me and hesitating about giving up your 17-55mm f/2.8 for the 24-105 f/4, don't worry - the kit lens is fantastic and you won't regret going full frame for a second.ISO Performance:Let me sum it up in one word: amazing. I hate noisy pictures and I'd hesitate to shoot much above ISO 400 with my T2i. I have no problem shooting at 3200-6400 with the 6d. I took some shots basically in the dark at 25,600 and they were defiantly usable. Low light performance is just amazing. I can't comment on how it compares to other full frame cameras, but I do know there is just no comparison between APS-C sensors and this one.Auto ISO on this camera is awesome. I never used Auto ISO on my T2i (as I said above I hate noisy images and didn't like the camera constantly trying to push up the ISO). The Auto ISO on this camera lets you set a minimum shutter speed (great for people, like myself, who rarely use a tripod). It brings the shutter down to (near) the minimum, and then starts to the boost the ISO. Additionally (like most SLR's) you can set the maximum and minimum Auto ISO speeds.Autofocus:I touched on this above, but for its limitations, I actually like the AF system. I shoot mostly still subjects in available light and absolutely love the center AF point and its ability to focus in near dark conditions. AF is fast and of the few hundred pictures I've taken so far, hasn't missed yet. I like the simplicity of the 11-point AF system. I find the 61-point system hard to navigate. Coming from a Rebel, the AF system is very similar so there was really no learning curve when going to the 6d.Design & Button Layout:The 6d is surprisingly small and light. It's honestly not much bigger than my T2i, and only slightly heavier. It defiantly doesn't feel cheap though. It feels rugged, well built, and substantial in your hand. It doesn't have the plastic feel that the Rebels do. It feels like a pro-level camera. Coming from a Rebel, I felt pretty at home with the button layout. A few things are in different places (e.g. the mode dial is on the other side to make room for the top LCD screen) but I was adjusted within a day or so. The mode dial lock is a cool little feature, but I can't say I ever had an issue with the mode dial moving itself on my Rebel.The 8-way rocker is a bit annoying, but still a step above the four way buttons on the Rebel series. It's also nice to have the wheel on the back to adjust aperture (or shutter speed) in Manual mode, instead of having to press and hold a button and use the main dial on the T2i. The menu system feels well laid out and everything is pretty easy to find. Also having two custom spots on the mode dial is a nice addition (people seems to be complaining there are only 2 instead of 3, but let me say that 2 is much better than the zero I had before!). You can use the custom spots for pretty much anything (I have my set up for exposure bracketing and portraits). The ISO button location also takes a bit of getting used to when moving from a Rebel to the 6d, but the reassessed button and raised dot make it relatively easy to adjust quickly. Also you can customize a lot of the button assignments in the custom functions menu. Battery life seems to be pretty good so far. As expected, using GPS and WiFi considerably shorten the life, but it's certainly still acceptable. A note about aftermarket batteries: they work, but the camera doesn't play nice with them. If you put in an aftermarket battery the camera warns you that it isn't a Canon battery and asks if you want to continue. It also doesn't know how much battery life is remaining. I'm hoping the aftermarket battery manufacturers will update their batteries soon (Wassabi indicated within a month or two they would be releasing an update).WiFi & GPS:I bought this camera not really thinking I would use either of these features very often, but let me say they are welcome additions. The WiFi is pretty simple to set up (if you've ever set up a router or even configured your smart phone to connect to WiFi then you shouldn't have any issues). In less than 20 minutes I tried out connecting to an iPad, Android phone, laptop, and even a uploading directly to Facebook without any issues at all (note that you have to connect to your laptop first to set up Facebook and you have to register with Canon). Transferring images wirelessly from the 6d to a laptop is surprisingly fast and easy. Also, viewing images on an iPad wireless is easy (note that I haven't seen a dedicated iPad app yet, just for iPhone. Hopefully Canon has something in the works so we can see our images in full Retina glory!). I don't have much to say about GPS, other than it works. I stepped outside and it acquired a satellite signal pretty fast. You can view the geotagged information either in the provided Canon Maps application or in Adobe Lightroom. I think this will be really great when I am traveling. Note that the GPS stays on even when the camera is off (WiFi does not, however). You can turn off (or at least turn down the frequency) of the "bread crumb" feature (which tracks your location at set intervals to plot your path) to save some battery life.Advanced Shooting Modes:HDR, white balance and exposure bracketing, and multiple exposure modes are all really great features. I love to shoot HDR and the camera does a pretty decent job of aligning and merging the images when shooting hand held. I do feel limited in that you can only take three exposures in HDR mode. I also find it a pain to have to turn off RAW mode in order to turn on HDR. I actually prefer the exposure bracketing. You can bracket up to seven shots in 1/3 EV steps (note that if you want to bracket more than the default three shots you have to change a setting in the custom functions menu).The camera contains a lot of features for JPEG shooters (since I shoot mostly RAW I don't use these features often, but they seem nice to have for people who don't use post processing software). The camera will now do lens profile corrections (fixing distortion, brightness, vignette, etc.) for the lens that is attached. I always apply this to my photos using Lightroom and it's nice to have in-camera.Summary:In sum, the 6d is a fantastic camera. I don't at all feel hampered by the so called "limitations" pointed out in some of the reviews (lack of pop of flash, only 11 AF points, a single SD card slot, etc.). If you are upgrading from a Rebel you will love the improved center AF point, high ISO performance, speed, build quality, advanced shooting modes, and WiFi and GPS built in. I don't feel the need to compare this camera to Nikon's or Canon's other offering, because honestly this is a fantastic camera in its own right. I was already invested with several lenses in the Canon system, so Nikon was never really a consideration for me. The choice was really between the 6d and the 5d M3 and given the relatively large cost difference the 6d was the clear choice. Also if your considering the 5d M2, I think the benefit of five plus years of development has greatly benefited the 6d, and therefore would highly recommend the 6d over the 5d M2 for the sensor and new Digic 5+ processor.Pros:+Awesome low light / high ISO performance+Great center AF point for very low light focusing+WiFi and GPS built in provide awesome flexibility in shooting, especially for travelers+Relatively light and small (for a full frame) without sacrificing solid construction+Very bright and clear viewfinder (especially when compared to the Rebels)+Digic 5+ processor provides great JPEG improvements and fast enough shooting speedCons:-Kit lens is only f/4, and the 24-70 f/2.8 is pricey!-HDR mode is slightly cumbersome to use and disappointing with its three shot exposure limitation-Button layout takes a bit to adjust to

    After owning and using many APS-C sensored DSLRS, this 6D was my first try at a full-frame sensor sized DSLRS. I found it to have 3 specific advantages: 1) bigger viewfinder; 2) option for narrower depth of field; and 3) less noise in low light. These advantages need to be balanced with the price and weight of not only the body, but the full frame lens. For me they weren't enough of an overall plus to prompt me to keep it.

        Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

        Upgraded from an XSI, so the feature list and possibilities have grown exponentially. The ISO capability alone is fantastic. I had no problems with focusing or shutter speed when capturing multiple exposures.
        The kit lens if sharp and has great bokeh. Its range makes it a perfect walkaround lens. It focuses fast and the IS works great.
        The LCD image quality is amazing, almost too good, because the images don't look as rich on the computer!!
        It has a long battery life and I've had no issues with shooting all day with the GPS feature enabled. I only turn on wifi when I need it and that too is a great feature (although sometimes it doesn't pick up the signal), especially being able to use my iPhone as a mobile LCD and wireless shutter that can control focus point, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.

          After researching the 60D, 7d, and MKII and the 6d I went for it and boy am i loving it. It was a bit over my budget but after fam seeing the pictures it takes, everyone is seeing how great the pics are and potential it has if just for advance hobbyist or business. I have a daughter that does play fastpitch softball that i attempted to take some action photos of. It did okay, i imagine the 7d or MkII would be faster but it did good. I am learning if that was my primary purpose for photography, i'd have to get the 70-200mm lens, ouch 2k+. but for regular portraits in day or night is just awesome.

            Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

            I upgraded from a 30D to the 6D, and have been loving it. Image quality is outstanding. I was hesitant to purchase this camera due to the autofocus system (1 cross type), but have been pleased and surprised about how well it has performed. Focus is tack sharp when shooting with adequate light (outside), and is still really good when shooting indoors (in the range of ISO 800 and up). Indoors, it really helps to use a flash with the focus assist beam which will help achieve the tack sharp focus found outside. My fastest lens is f2.8, and the focus has been awesome when shooting this wide. AI Servo has performed well with my 70-200 f4 L, and tracked moving subjects as good as a 7D I borrowed (using the center focus point). The 4.5 frames per second is a bit slow for sports, but that's not what I shoot. In other words, I have no regrets about the autofocus.

            My other concern was sync speed (1/180). While testing out this camera I have used HSS (I know it's not the same) up to 1/2000. I had a shoot outdoors last week, and had no problems using the flash on HSS as fill at -2/3 stop, and shooting in the range of f2.8 - f5.6 with my 24-70 2.8 L.

            With my 30D I always shot in manual, but the metering on the 6D is so good that I find myself shooting aperture priority because it's been so accurate. I wouldn't trade the years I spent learning with my 30D, but I'm really excited to now have such a good camera in the 6D.

            Obliviously the 24-105 f4 IS L is an awesome lens, and a great deal when packaged in this kit. I haven't shot with it that much since my primary lens is a 24-70 f2.8 L, which has a range that works well for what I shoot, not to mention being one stop faster and shallower.

            The camera had 3 stuck (white) pixels when I received it. I put it in manual sensor clean mode for 30 seconds, and then turned it back on, and everything was fine. Good trick if you ever have this problem.

                I did an upgrade of my 7D full frame and do not regret, the combination with L lens make the results compared with the 7D and my old 18-135 all terrain, have a huge difference in quality. I think it's a good middle ground between the 7D and the 5D Mk III price and performance. Excuse my English, I speak Spanish, greetings!

                    Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

                    As an amateur moving from a crop sensor EOS 600D, the performance of the 6D is impressive. Unlike the 600D the weight is substantial, but not a hindrance...it feels good in the hand. I'd have to agree with a lot of people, it's like the 5D Mark III's little brother, without all the bells and whistles. This is not a camera for those who need top of the line performance in every imaginable way. But it is a great camera to say the least.
                    It has a few weaknesses. The autofocus for example only has 11 points with a single cross-type...not great for tracking moving objects (at least not quickly moving objects). Also the viewfinder is only 97% accuracy, which though not a huge deal, may mean some cropping in post to get your composition right. lastly the burst rate is a laughable 4.5 fps, again not great for quickly moving objects.
                    All in all though, as a primarily street and portrait shooter, this thing as handled everything I've thrown at it with gusto.

                        Finally a great FF camera at an affordable price! Feature set is great. Low noise at high ISO is a real treat. I love the GPS feature when travelling.

                          Just got this camera and before I bought it I was disappointed that it did not come with built in flash. I took it out the first night to a school function, my kids were playing on a dark field, I could barely see them, I snaped a picture, and I could actually see them better in the picture than in plain sight, I was amazed! Can't wait for the Wi-Fi option to show video on a our phones in real-time.

                          I do cinematography but I'm not a cinematographer. Most of my shooting is for news packages but I love the image quality I get from this camera. This was an upgrade for me from the T3i, which was my first DSLR. I went DSLR again instead of dedicated video camera because I also enjoy photography as a hobby. Having a versatile camera is essential to me. The low light capabilities of the camera are astounding, it's nice to not have to rely on a flash when you're in a convention. My only complaint is the kit lens, I wish they would have included a faster lens that at least can go up to f2.8 If you've been looking to upgrade to pro gear and want to save a bit of money from the 5D, then the trade off of price to 5D focus points is completely worth it.

                            Used an EOS XTI heavily since 2006 and felt it was time for an upgrade. Tried the 60D but promptly returned it. The 60D is ok for a first dslr, but it's not an upgrade from a rebel-not even the much older xti.

                            For a true upgrade that produces a substantial jump in image quality-good enough to justify the price tag-one must look no further than the 6D. This camera blew me away. And it's better at noise reduction than the more expensive 5d mkIII (google it!).

                            When image quality is the #1 priority, this camera cannot be beat for the price. Focuses in much lower light than the others. Lens produces very sharp images, even at f4. This is a whole new level of camera.

                            I don't care about wifi or gps, have them disabled. The lower number of autofocus points doesn't bother me.

                            After owning and using many APS-C sensored DSLRS, this 6D was my first try at a full-frame sensor sized DSLRS. I found it to have 3 specific advantages: 1) bigger viewfinder; 2) option for narrower depth of field; and 3) less noise in low light. These advantages need to be balanced with the price and weight of not only the body, but the full frame lens. For me they weren't enough of an overall plus to prompt me to keep it.

                            The lightest FF camera you can get with the support of full EF lens line up from Canon. Excellent IQ at high ISO. Not so tough body structure though- just like the downgrade of 60D from 50D. Cost cutting measures likely.

                                Just upgraded from a Rebel XTI to the 6D. Have a bit of a learning curve but, the camera is intuitive and easy to pick up and use. The primary reason I chose the 6D was for low light photography. It delivers - even with my current level of expertise! I work in theatre and am very impressed with the 6D's ability to capture the shot with only the stage lights.

                                I needed to upgrade to a full-frame camera and ended up opting for the 6D plus more glass instead of getting the 5D MKIII for budgetary reasons... Initially I was scared that I made a regretful decision but upon unboxing and actually handling the camera I was quickly put at ease.. The 6D feels great and performs just as well. Read countless reviews where the autofocus points were put under extreme scrutiny but if you are shooting stationary objects/portraits and not high speed sports there really isn't much to worry about. The iso sensitivity performance is very good. The Wifi system is a little buggy but once you get it working properly its a game changer for DSLR shooters, hopefully Canon continues to develop this technology.

                                  Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

                                  APS-C sensor cameras are a waste of time and the 6D proves this in the best way. It takes advantage of the EF mount and the full frame sensor. In a couple of weeks of use I come really impressed. Choose a higher end model only if you want a high continuous frame rate. The size is great for traveling, heavy enough but not too bulgy. People that have a collection of CF cards might me offput, but low costs of new cards do not create such a barrier. The shutter is pretty quiet, for video the LCD is non-movable, but hey you cannot have everything. Overall, greatly reccomended.

                                  Worthy Upgrade for a Rebel User

                                  Canon 6d ReviewI've now been using my 6d for a bit over a week and feel that I've handled it enough to write a comprehensive review. First, let me tell you that I upgraded from a Rebel T2i, which I absolutely loved. I'm by no means a pro, and I don't typically get paid for my work; but I would classify myself as a photo enthusiast. I travel a lot and size and weight were factors in my decision to go with the 6d. I also like to shoot with available light, which is why I wanted to go full frame for the high ISO performance. For some reason it says I purchased the body only, but I actually bought the kit.Let me address some of the "cons" that people are complaining about right out of the gate. I'm going to assume that most people considering the 6d are like me - looking to upgrade from a nice point and shoot style camera or a Rebel series or other APS-C style DSLR. Nearly everything that people are stating are "cons" I never had on my Rebel in the first place, so I don't miss these features. The AF system has gotten a lot of attention, but on my Rebel, I used the center point 90% of the time for focusing. The center point on the 6d is just amazing. It focuses in an almost completely dark room. Certainly it will be able to focus for any situation when you are going to shoot hand held. I will take the simplified control of 11 AF points and an absolutely fantastic center focus point over 61 points (caveat: I don't shoot sports or other fast moving objects so I wouldn't really benefit from the addition points for tracking a moving subject).I rarely, if ever, shoot video so not having a headphone jack doesn't bother me in the slightest. Also, not having a built in flash is no big deal to me either. I'm going to assume that people looking at this price range for a camera have an external flash and understand the limitations of a built in flash. I never used the one on my Rebel anyway. Finally, not having two SD card slots doesn't seem like a big loss to me. While I think the redundancy of two slots might be nice, I've never had an SD card fail on me and perpetually back up my images anyway.24-105mm f/4 Kit Lens:Honestly this was probably what was holding me back the most about going full frame. I previously have been using the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS and I have to say that better than 90% of my pictures taken with my T2i were shot using this lens. While the 17-55 doesn't have a red ring or L in its name, it defiantly can run with the L glass. I worried that going from a relatively fast 2.8 (EF-S lenses do not fit on the 6d) to an f/4 would be limiting, but I also didn't want to give up IS and the 24-70mm was out of my price range anyway. Let me say that given the higher ISO performance, I don't really miss the stop I lost going to an f/4 lens. I actually like having a bit more reach with the 24-105. I would defiantly have kept my 17-55 f/2.8 if I could have, but I also don't feel limited by the 24-105 f/4. In the future I plan to get the 16-35 f/2.8 for use alongside the 25-105 f/4. So in summary, if you are like me and hesitating about giving up your 17-55mm f/2.8 for the 24-105 f/4, don't worry - the kit lens is fantastic and you won't regret going full frame for a second.ISO Performance:Let me sum it up in one word: amazing. I hate noisy pictures and I'd hesitate to shoot much above ISO 400 with my T2i. I have no problem shooting at 3200-6400 with the 6d. I took some shots basically in the dark at 25,600 and they were defiantly usable. Low light performance is just amazing. I can't comment on how it compares to other full frame cameras, but I do know there is just no comparison between APS-C sensors and this one.Auto ISO on this camera is awesome. I never used Auto ISO on my T2i (as I said above I hate noisy images and didn't like the camera constantly trying to push up the ISO). The Auto ISO on this camera lets you set a minimum shutter speed (great for people, like myself, who rarely use a tripod). It brings the shutter down to (near) the minimum, and then starts to the boost the ISO. Additionally (like most SLR's) you can set the maximum and minimum Auto ISO speeds.Autofocus:I touched on this above, but for its limitations, I actually like the AF system. I shoot mostly still subjects in available light and absolutely love the center AF point and its ability to focus in near dark conditions. AF is fast and of the few hundred pictures I've taken so far, hasn't missed yet. I like the simplicity of the 11-point AF system. I find the 61-point system hard to navigate. Coming from a Rebel, the AF system is very similar so there was really no learning curve when going to the 6d.Design & Button Layout:The 6d is surprisingly small and light. It's honestly not much bigger than my T2i, and only slightly heavier. It defiantly doesn't feel cheap though. It feels rugged, well built, and substantial in your hand. It doesn't have the plastic feel that the Rebels do. It feels like a pro-level camera. Coming from a Rebel, I felt pretty at home with the button layout. A few things are in different places (e.g. the mode dial is on the other side to make room for the top LCD screen) but I was adjusted within a day or so. The mode dial lock is a cool little feature, but I can't say I ever had an issue with the mode dial moving itself on my Rebel.The 8-way rocker is a bit annoying, but still a step above the four way buttons on the Rebel series. It's also nice to have the wheel on the back to adjust aperture (or shutter speed) in Manual mode, instead of having to press and hold a button and use the main dial on the T2i. The menu system feels well laid out and everything is pretty easy to find. Also having two custom spots on the mode dial is a nice addition (people seems to be complaining there are only 2 instead of 3, but let me say that 2 is much better than the zero I had before!). You can use the custom spots for pretty much anything (I have my set up for exposure bracketing and portraits). The ISO button location also takes a bit of getting used to when moving from a Rebel to the 6d, but the reassessed button and raised dot make it relatively easy to adjust quickly. Also you can customize a lot of the button assignments in the custom functions menu. Battery life seems to be pretty good so far. As expected, using GPS and WiFi considerably shorten the life, but it's certainly still acceptable. A note about aftermarket batteries: they work, but the camera doesn't play nice with them. If you put in an aftermarket battery the camera warns you that it isn't a Canon battery and asks if you want to continue. It also doesn't know how much battery life is remaining. I'm hoping the aftermarket battery manufacturers will update their batteries soon (Wassabi indicated within a month or two they would be releasing an update).WiFi & GPS:I bought this camera not really thinking I would use either of these features very often, but let me say they are welcome additions. The WiFi is pretty simple to set up (if you've ever set up a router or even configured your smart phone to connect to WiFi then you shouldn't have any issues). In less than 20 minutes I tried out connecting to an iPad, Android phone, laptop, and even a uploading directly to Facebook without any issues at all (note that you have to connect to your laptop first to set up Facebook and you have to register with Canon). Transferring images wirelessly from the 6d to a laptop is surprisingly fast and easy. Also, viewing images on an iPad wireless is easy (note that I haven't seen a dedicated iPad app yet, just for iPhone. Hopefully Canon has something in the works so we can see our images in full Retina glory!). I don't have much to say about GPS, other than it works. I stepped outside and it acquired a satellite signal pretty fast. You can view the geotagged information either in the provided Canon Maps application or in Adobe Lightroom. I think this will be really great when I am traveling. Note that the GPS stays on even when the camera is off (WiFi does not, however). You can turn off (or at least turn down the frequency) of the "bread crumb" feature (which tracks your location at set intervals to plot your path) to save some battery life.Advanced Shooting Modes:HDR, white balance and exposure bracketing, and multiple exposure modes are all really great features. I love to shoot HDR and the camera does a pretty decent job of aligning and merging the images when shooting hand held. I do feel limited in that you can only take three exposures in HDR mode. I also find it a pain to have to turn off RAW mode in order to turn on HDR. I actually prefer the exposure bracketing. You can bracket up to seven shots in 1/3 EV steps (note that if you want to bracket more than the default three shots you have to change a setting in the custom functions menu).The camera contains a lot of features for JPEG shooters (since I shoot mostly RAW I don't use these features often, but they seem nice to have for people who don't use post processing software). The camera will now do lens profile corrections (fixing distortion, brightness, vignette, etc.) for the lens that is attached. I always apply this to my photos using Lightroom and it's nice to have in-camera.Summary:In sum, the 6d is a fantastic camera. I don't at all feel hampered by the so called "limitations" pointed out in some of the reviews (lack of pop of flash, only 11 AF points, a single SD card slot, etc.). If you are upgrading from a Rebel you will love the improved center AF point, high ISO performance, speed, build quality, advanced shooting modes, and WiFi and GPS built in. I don't feel the need to compare this camera to Nikon's or Canon's other offering, because honestly this is a fantastic camera in its own right. I was already invested with several lenses in the Canon system, so Nikon was never really a consideration for me. The choice was really between the 6d and the 5d M3 and given the relatively large cost difference the 6d was the clear choice. Also if your considering the 5d M2, I think the benefit of five plus years of development has greatly benefited the 6d, and therefore would highly recommend the 6d over the 5d M2 for the sensor and new Digic 5+ processor.Pros:+Awesome low light / high ISO performance+Great center AF point for very low light focusing+WiFi and GPS built in provide awesome flexibility in shooting, especially for travelers+Relatively light and small (for a full frame) without sacrificing solid construction+Very bright and clear viewfinder (especially when compared to the Rebels)+Digic 5+ processor provides great JPEG improvements and fast enough shooting speedCons:-Kit lens is only f/4, and the 24-70 f/2.8 is pricey!-HDR mode is slightly cumbersome to use and disappointing with its three shot exposure limitation-Button layout takes a bit to adjust to

                                  After owning and using many APS-C sensored DSLRS, this 6D was my first try at a full-frame sensor sized DSLRS. I found it to have 3 specific advantages: 1) bigger viewfinder; 2) option for narrower depth of field; and 3) less noise in low light. These advantages need to be balanced with the price and weight of not only the body, but the full frame lens. For me they weren't enough of an overall plus to prompt me to keep it.

                                      Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

                                      Upgraded from an XSI, so the feature list and possibilities have grown exponentially. The ISO capability alone is fantastic. I had no problems with focusing or shutter speed when capturing multiple exposures.
                                      The kit lens if sharp and has great bokeh. Its range makes it a perfect walkaround lens. It focuses fast and the IS works great.
                                      The LCD image quality is amazing, almost too good, because the images don't look as rich on the computer!!
                                      It has a long battery life and I've had no issues with shooting all day with the GPS feature enabled. I only turn on wifi when I need it and that too is a great feature (although sometimes it doesn't pick up the signal), especially being able to use my iPhone as a mobile LCD and wireless shutter that can control focus point, aperture, ISO, and shutter speed.

                                        After researching the 60D, 7d, and MKII and the 6d I went for it and boy am i loving it. It was a bit over my budget but after fam seeing the pictures it takes, everyone is seeing how great the pics are and potential it has if just for advance hobbyist or business. I have a daughter that does play fastpitch softball that i attempted to take some action photos of. It did okay, i imagine the 7d or MkII would be faster but it did good. I am learning if that was my primary purpose for photography, i'd have to get the 70-200mm lens, ouch 2k+. but for regular portraits in day or night is just awesome.

                                          Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

                                          I upgraded from a 30D to the 6D, and have been loving it. Image quality is outstanding. I was hesitant to purchase this camera due to the autofocus system (1 cross type), but have been pleased and surprised about how well it has performed. Focus is tack sharp when shooting with adequate light (outside), and is still really good when shooting indoors (in the range of ISO 800 and up). Indoors, it really helps to use a flash with the focus assist beam which will help achieve the tack sharp focus found outside. My fastest lens is f2.8, and the focus has been awesome when shooting this wide. AI Servo has performed well with my 70-200 f4 L, and tracked moving subjects as good as a 7D I borrowed (using the center focus point). The 4.5 frames per second is a bit slow for sports, but that's not what I shoot. In other words, I have no regrets about the autofocus.

                                          My other concern was sync speed (1/180). While testing out this camera I have used HSS (I know it's not the same) up to 1/2000. I had a shoot outdoors last week, and had no problems using the flash on HSS as fill at -2/3 stop, and shooting in the range of f2.8 - f5.6 with my 24-70 2.8 L.

                                          With my 30D I always shot in manual, but the metering on the 6D is so good that I find myself shooting aperture priority because it's been so accurate. I wouldn't trade the years I spent learning with my 30D, but I'm really excited to now have such a good camera in the 6D.

                                          Obliviously the 24-105 f4 IS L is an awesome lens, and a great deal when packaged in this kit. I haven't shot with it that much since my primary lens is a 24-70 f2.8 L, which has a range that works well for what I shoot, not to mention being one stop faster and shallower.

                                          The camera had 3 stuck (white) pixels when I received it. I put it in manual sensor clean mode for 30 seconds, and then turned it back on, and everything was fine. Good trick if you ever have this problem.

                                              love the camera and ISO range is amazing. As soon as I got it I shot without flash in nightclub settings and was able to capture images that I never would have been able to otherwise and amazing clear.

                                              I did an upgrade of my 7D full frame and do not regret, the combination with L lens make the results compared with the 7D and my old 18-135 all terrain, have a huge difference in quality. I think it's a good middle ground between the 7D and the 5D Mk III price and performance. Excuse my English, I speak Spanish, greetings!

                                                  As an amateur moving from a crop sensor EOS 600D, the performance of the 6D is impressive. Unlike the 600D the weight is substantial, but not a hindrance...it feels good in the hand. I'd have to agree with a lot of people, it's like the 5D Mark III's little brother, without all the bells and whistles. This is not a camera for those who need top of the line performance in every imaginable way. But it is a great camera to say the least.
                                                  It has a few weaknesses. The autofocus for example only has 11 points with a single cross-type...not great for tracking moving objects (at least not quickly moving objects). Also the viewfinder is only 97% accuracy, which though not a huge deal, may mean some cropping in post to get your composition right. lastly the burst rate is a laughable 4.5 fps, again not great for quickly moving objects.
                                                  All in all though, as a primarily street and portrait shooter, this thing as handled everything I've thrown at it with gusto.

The full time GPS data logging ability saves me time and equipment to carry. Pair this with the 24-105 and it's a really fantastic camera.

                                                        Just got this camera and before I bought it I was disappointed that it did not come with built in flash. I took it out the first night to a school function, my kids were playing on a dark field, I could barely see them, I snaped a picture, and I could actually see them better in the picture than in plain sight, I was amazed! Can't wait for the Wi-Fi option to show video on a our phones in real-time.

                                                        I do cinematography but I'm not a cinematographer. Most of my shooting is for news packages but I love the image quality I get from this camera. This was an upgrade for me from the T3i, which was my first DSLR. I went DSLR again instead of dedicated video camera because I also enjoy photography as a hobby. Having a versatile camera is essential to me. The low light capabilities of the camera are astounding, it's nice to not have to rely on a flash when you're in a convention. My only complaint is the kit lens, I wish they would have included a faster lens that at least can go up to f2.8 If you've been looking to upgrade to pro gear and want to save a bit of money from the 5D, then the trade off of price to 5D focus points is completely worth it.

                                                          Comments about EOS 6D Digital Camera with Canon 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Lens:

                                                          Used an EOS XTI heavily since 2006 and felt it was time for an upgrade. Tried the 60D but promptly returned it. The 60D is ok for a first dslr, but it's not an upgrade from a rebel-not even the much older xti.

                                                          For a true upgrade that produces a substantial jump in image quality-good enough to justify the price tag-one must look no further than the 6D. This camera blew me away. And it's better at noise reduction than the more expensive 5d mkIII (google it!).

                                                          When image quality is the #1 priority, this camera cannot be beat for the price. Focuses in much lower light than the others. Lens produces very sharp images, even at f4. This is a whole new level of camera.

                                                          I don't care about wifi or gps, have them disabled. The lower number of autofocus points doesn't bother me.

                                                          After owning and using many APS-C sensored DSLRS, this 6D was my first try at a full-frame sensor sized DSLRS. I found it to have 3 specific advantages: 1) bigger viewfinder; 2) option for narrower depth of field; and 3) less noise in low light. These advantages need to be balanced with the price and weight of not only the body, but the full frame lens. For me they weren't enough of an overall plus to prompt me to keep it.

                                                          The lightest FF camera you can get with the support of full EF lens line up from Canon. Excellent IQ at high ISO. Not so tough body structure though- just like the downgrade of 60D from 50D. Cost cutting measures likely.

                                                              Just upgraded from a Rebel XTI to the 6D. Have a bit of a learning curve but, the camera is intuitive and easy to pick up and use. The primary reason I chose the 6D was for low light photography. It delivers - even with my current level of expertise! I work in theatre and am very impressed with the 6D's ability to capture the shot with only the stage lights.

                                                              I needed to upgrade to a full-frame camera and ended up opting for the 6D plus more glass instead of getting the 5D MKIII for budgetary reasons... Initially I was scared that I made a regretful decision but upon unboxing and actually handling the camera I was quickly put at ease.. The 6D feels great and performs just as well. Read countless reviews where the autofocus points were put under extreme scrutiny but if you are shooting stationary objects/portraits and not high speed sports there really isn't much to worry about. The iso sensitivity performance is very good. The Wifi system is a little buggy but once you get it working properly its a game changer for DSLR shooters, hopefully Canon continues to develop this technology. All said and done if you are on the fence about buying this camera get it!

                                                                APS-C sensor cameras are a waste of time and the 6D proves this in the best way. It takes advantage of the EF mount and the full frame sensor. In a couple of weeks of use I come really impressed. Choose a higher end model only if you want a high continuous frame rate. The size is great for traveling, heavy enough but not too bulgy. People that have a collection of CF cards might me offput, but low costs of new cards do not create such a barrier. The shutter is pretty quiet, for video the LCD is non-movable, but hey you cannot have everything. Overall, greatly reccomended.
