Review on Canon EOS 6D Body camera, black by Masaaki Haruto ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Just as the EOS 5D once became a legend, being the first FF camera available, so the 6D continued the series remarkably. Perhaps the wedding pros will throw stones at me, but I'll tell you. In many ways (not all!) the camera is superior to 5Dm3. In particular, on working ISO. At 3200 noise is unrealistic to find. Above - you can, if you try. In fact, you can shoot by the light of the moon, and even autofocus will not let you down! 5dm3 - goes to bed after "good night, kids!". And 6D - "walks all night, until the morning"! The presence of Wifi and GPS is another story! - It's comfortable. Let, and not always necessary, and not everyone needs. But, firstly, there is a modification without them. Secondly, when it is - it is! I turned on WiFi, put the camera in a case, and from the tablet, sitting on a bench, in transport, anywhere, without any wires and sticking cards, I did everything my heart desires with the frames. I installed an android on a laptop (using a bootable USB flash drive). And, when needed, I have a 15-inch LiveWiev monitor at hand, or a little smaller - in a tablet. This is not a necessity! But, I assure you, sometimes it's just fantastically convenient! There were times when there was no autofocus at all. But the professionals - were then! For me, the center autofocus point is enough. Even better when AF is off! - I'm perfectly able to do without it! Well, for someone - even 500 points - will not be enough. For some, the speed of continuous shooting is not enough. But sorry, in JPEG any modern camera scribbles like a machine gun. And if you're scribbling, you don't need quality, you're just trying to get somewhere. And, if this is considered a sign of professionalism, then a different approach is closer to me - to predict an event, wait for it, and press the trigger. Only once. No, machine gunners, of course, are also a kind of professionals. But, for some reason, snipers are valued more :) Shutter 1/4000? - So the conditions when you need 1/8000 - are extremely rare. And, in fact, even in such conditions - you can get by with a speed of 1/1000. Unless, of course, you do not think that "a super-professional camera can do EVERYTHING ITSELF."

Pros
  • working high ISO values; excellent autofocus, and even in very low light conditions.
Cons
  • The display is very easily soiled; the DOF preview button is in the most unexpected place.
