- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 8035B002
- Product Name: EOS 6D DSLR Camera (Body Only)
- Color: Black
- Product Set: Body Only
- Camera Model Family: Canon 6D
- Digital Camera Type: DSLR Camera Body Only
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 5472 x 3648 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Autofocus: true (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
- Exposure Control
- Shutter Speeds: 1/4000 to 30 sec., X-sync at 1/180 sec. (Total shutter speed range. Available range varies by shooting mode.) (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)
- Minimum ISO: 100 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. When there is plenty of light, using the lowest ISO setting available will typically result in a higher quality image.)
- Maximum ISO: 12801 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. In low-light environments, using a higher ISO setting helps to capture a sharp, bright image.)
- Maximum Expandable ISO: 102400 (ISO is the measurement of a camera image sensor's light sensitivity. Expandable ISO settings use software to simulate brighter images than the device's native ISO range is capable of capturing.)
- Burst Mode: true (Also referred to as continuous shooting. This feature captures multiple shots in rapid succession.)
- Self Timer: true
- Shooting Modes: Scene Intelligent Auto, creative auto, landscape, close-up, sports, special scene modes (night portrait, HDR backlight control), and more (Exposure modes employed by the photographer to control the optimal aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and other settings for capturing specific subjects/scenes. Examples include Aperture-Priority, Macro, and Manual modes.)
- White Balance Modes: Auto, preset (daylight, shade, cloudy, tungsten light, white fluorescent light, flash) and more (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 20.2 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Lens Mount Compatibility: Canon EF
- Flash
- Integrated Flash: true
- External Flash Mount: Other (A cold shoe is a mounting point on top of a camera to securely attach a flash unit or other compatible accessories. A hot shoe is a cold shoe with an electrical connection that insures communication and synchronization between camera and accessory.)
- Display
- Display Type: Other
- Screen Size: 3 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Viewfinder Type: Optical (A viewfinder is the part of a camera (or attachment) that allows you to see and focus a scene in frame. Optical viewfinders let you view the scene directly through the lens. Electronic viewfinders display the image on a screen in its approximate final form.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)

A: I am also getting back into astronomy in particularly Astrophotography. I've done a lot of research on cameras and like you, would like to have one that is good for both AP as well as every day use. I currently have a Sony NEX. 5N. While that is a great camera it is not full frame, which is what I'd like to use for AP. I also have a number of Sony lenses, which means a signiicant expense in th purchase of new Canon lenses. However after doing the research, I've decided the Canon 6D is the one I'm going to purchase. On the positive side, it one of the best, if not the best cameras for low light photography with respect to noise levels. The price of the camera is very reasonable for a full frame camera. The reviews both for AP as well as normal daylight photography are exceptional. In general, versus other cameras, particularly the Sony but less so for the Nikon, there is far more AP software available for Canons. On the minus side, the camera has been around for some time and will probably be replaced by a new model with updated features either late this year or in 2017. Autofocus is substandard to most other cameras on the market at this price point. However for AP, you'd be using manual focus anyway, and for normal photography, it would probably only limit you to photographing action sports. Two things I love about my Sony that will be missing from this camera are an articulating LCD screen that is also a touch screen. The LCD is fixed on the 6D, making it difficult to use with a refracting telescope, which is certainly a disadvantage. The touch screen is simply a nice to have. There are however, a couple of things the 6D has that the Sony doesn't. It has GPS and is WiFi enabled. The GPS is a huge advantage at least for me. If you have your eyes set on photographing nebula, there is a distinct advantage of working with an H-alpha modified camera to capture the reds in the nebula. If you modify a camera, it is no longer usable for normal photography. I've thought about waiting for the new model because it may have improved autofocus and articulating LCD screen. Then I think about the possibility of something happening to the low light sensitivity in the new model versus what's currently offered. I also think about how much more expensive the new model will be, especially out of the gate. So based on the strengths I listed above with the added features of GPS and WiFi, I'm going to make the move and purchase this camera and be judicious with the lenses I purchase. I hope this is helpful. As I said, I'm no expert and may have some things not exactly right, but felt I should pass along what I've learned if it helps someone else make a decision.
A: If you upgrade to a Canon full frame camera any Canon "EF" lenses will be compatible. However, you can not use Canon EF-S lenses with a Canon full frame camera. I know that the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 will work, but I'm not familiar with the 85mm f/1.8 lenses. If it's an EF series lenses it will work on a Canon full frame. Hope this helps.
Q: Does it come with US warrant?
A: Yes it does!
A: If they are NOT EF-S lenses, yes. Otherwise, no.
Q: Does Canon EOS 6D have Kelvins?
A: You can select Kelvin temperature in place of auto white balance or several other presets
