Brilliant and gorgeous photos. I love cameras like you

Bought this camera as a backup to and smaller companion for my pro level 1D cameras. It is really a fun camera to use and has such awesome low light image and focusing capabilities that my quibbles with this camera are just that, minor "wish list" annoyances. While the focus area and points are limited, it does focus really fast and accurately. Follow focus is accurate with moving subjects but with a maximum frame rate of 4.5 fps I'll be sticking with the 1D bodies for action and sports. I'm using this as a travel and studio camera mainly. It's the camera that now goes with me everywhere. The 24-105mm lens it is plenty versatile to handle almost any shooting situation that comes up.

Both Matt & Karen in the camera dept. were great & knowledgable salespeople! They showed us many features about the camera, to where it wasn't hard to decide that this camera is the one I was looking for! Appreciate their help & knowledge, & would go back to both of them to buy any other product in the camera dept.

This camera is a much needed upgrade! Do recommend

Great camera for upping your game to a full frame. May be outdated at this point but its a good deal for the price and easy to use.

Regardless of the con I wrote, I love this camera. I still have and use a 40D and an original 5D. So the user interface on this was easy. I was up and running in minutes. I'm a semi-pro photog and I couldn't be happier with this full-frame gem. The lack of focus points is no issue since I'm use to pretty much the same on the 40D. the custom white balance is a bit fussy. Often won't accept WB images to use. But I've found how to work with it. And the price with the 24-105 f/4L kit lens was remarkable. I literally got the lens for about $200 given the standard price of a 6D body.

I am an avid photographer of 3 years, and had finally outgrown the Canon T2i's limitations. I sought to bring my level of photography to the next level and considered going full-frame. I thought it would be a drastic change, however it was sufficient enough to where it allowed a smooth transition from APS-C sensor to full-frame. I was able to take advantage of the full-frame's capabilities without sacrificing the user-friendly accessibility of a Canon Rebel series.

Once you are familiar with the controls of the 6D, getting amazing shots is incredibly easy. The included lens is also perfect for just about everything.

Gotta say, the price tag is a bit scary, but for the quality images produced from this camera, LOVE IT. Upgraded from the Canon Rebel series to this monster and gotta say, Canon has this thing on point. Ok, but to the pro's and con's Pro's: Excellent all around lens, 24-105mm lens is perfect for almost every situation you come across. The F4 aperture is also great for them portrait pictures. Lots of possible lenses for this camera, EOS family. High ISO settings are perfect for low light situations but does have some slight noise. WiFi feature: awesome sauce! Get the free app in iTunes or Play store and send pictures directly to your phone! This is SO awesome! LOVE THIS feature! Cons: Expensive camera, lots of cheaper options to learn using manual settings. BATTERIES....have a spare or two! This is a MUST. If you have the GPS feature enabled, it will drain the battery within a day or two (even if you have it "off". This has to be the worst drawback I've experienced. I now upgraded the camera with a battery pack grip (sold separately) aftermarket for about $140 plus the spare battery for another $60. So my solution so far is to just take out the batteries after each photo session. Not the best solution but my batteries are ready when i need them. Overall: I am in love with the Canon 6D. Lots of cool features. My motto with buying any new camera equipment, you get what you pay for. So, if your looking for the next level camera, this is the one!

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 speed Cons: -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

I bought this Canon 6D DSLR camera at Best Buy and their associate, Travis, was very helpful and knowledgeable on the camera. I am so glad we picked the right person to ask 'cos we are amateur in digital camera. The camera is very easy to use, the pictures are very clear, sharp and all you need for a good picture as much as you want. Each dial will tell you what kind of effect you can get by selecting it. I almost feel like i am using an Elph! However, I found a better deal at Costco that comes with an additional 70-300mm lens, a camera bag and two 16GB memory card.

This camera is fantastic - easy to use, every function I wanted (and more) - I like the ability to run it in program mode, aperture or fully automatic. The auto focus is excellent and the ability to use the WFI connection is very cool.

I started with Canon at their basic dslr, the Rebel XS., then I started shooting a t3i, then a 40D and I've tried the 7D. I was looking to upgrade and the 6D had everything I wanted, specifically the full frame sensor. The wifi option with remote shooting thru your smart phone is awesome! ISO is crazy good! The only thing I would have liked is for Canon to have kept the buttons similar to their previous camera bodies. If you can afford the Mark iii, of course buy that one. But if you're looking for full frame upgrade that will fit your budget this is the way to go!!

Moving from a crop sensor to this full-frame was an easy transition. Great in low-light conditions. Auto-focus is a little slow, but very sharp.

Great camera for great price. Crisp images. Would have waited until the 6DmII came out, but projects were piling up. Overall, very satisfied with the camera and lens bundle.

I used a Canon t3i for many years before upgrading to this. It took me a few weeks to get used to the look of full frame as opposed to crop sensor, but if you are in the market for a full frame this camera is reliable and great. The buttons are not in the most ergonomic locations, but you can customize them and set them where you want them. I miss the flip out screen of the t3i, but I understand why this body doesn't have that. Overall, this camera has been fantastic.

Very nice, I've been a Canon guy for 40+ years. Very adaptable but it will take quite a while to find all my preferred modes of operating. used mostly for capturing ballroom dance performances and it was just a little dark but it may have been the flash.

My husband is starting a photography business and wanted to step up to a full frame DSLR (he has a Rebel T5i). So far he's gotten some great photos out of this camera. The one frustration is that the 6D doesn't have an on camera flash, so my husband is going to have to purchase a transmitter to trigger his flash remotely—something that was unnecessary with the Rebel.

I bought this camera so I could get into a full frame camera without paying another $2k. I have been impressed with the clarity, speed, and low light handleing of this camera. I used it at my nephew's high school graduation, indoors with only available light, and was very impressed with the results. The GPS feature is a fun-to-have feature, but the drawback is that it drains the battery even when not in use. My workaround is to remove the battery when the camera is not in use, plus I also bought a 2nd battery.

I recently upgraded from my Canon Rebel t3i to a Canon 6D. I began with just photographing my own children and family, but recently my photography has become more serious, so I felt it was important to have the right equipment. I could not be happier with my 6D, and the 24-105mm L lens is amazing. Definitely the right choice for anyone looking for a full-frame camera, and cannot afford the MarkIII.
