The editors didn't like
No headphone jack
Poor LCD visibility in direct sunlight
Impractical DSLR form factor for run-and-gun shooting
The 11point autofocus system performed well but is a step down from pro DSLRs and the competing camera from Nikon
Maximum 1/180 flash sync speed is a notch slow for studio strobe work
Only one SD card slot
No headphone jack for video

While the camera has nice extra features
Like Wi-Fi and GPS support
It's missing some basics for the price like on-camera flash
Multiple card slots
And a 100 percent-coverage viewfinder
Not the fastest camera on the block. Viewfinder only offers 97 percent coverage. Not compatible with EF-S lenses. GPS saps battery life. No flash. Slow focus during video recording. No PC Sync socket
No builtin flash
Single SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (vs. Nikon D600's dual card slot)
Slightly soft images on default settings (depending on lens used)
JPEG engine struggles with low-contrast fine detail at low ISO sensitivities
Low density 11 point autofocus array with only one cross-type AF point
Single card slot (SD)
Slow burst rate compared to its full frame peers
Cannot configure common live view and movie mode options independently
Video output prone to moiré artifacts
Slightly lower resolution than all of its full frame peers

Abstract: Less than a week after arch-rival Nikon grabbed headlines with the D600, Canon responded with an announcement of its own price-conscious full frame DSLR, the EOS 6D. And just like that, a new market segment was born: the mid-range full...

The EOS 6D is Canon's attempt to entice DSLR owners who are looking for the benefits of full frame shooting - including shallower depth of field and wider-angle lens coverage, but can't afford the EOS 5D Mark III. Naturally though, Canon doesn't want ...
Abstract: Lisa Gade reviews the Canon EOS 6D full frame DSLR camera with Canon L 24-105mm f/4 kit lens. This is Canon's most affordable full frame digital SLR camera, and it's priced similarly to the full frame entry level competition from Nikon and Sony while also...
Abstract: Canon's first affordably-priced D-SLR with a 35mm-sized sensor is rather more conservative than its Nikon rival, but there's still a whole lot to like and it dazzles with its imaging performance. There was a saying about London buses that you'd wait ag...
Abstract: The new category of more affordable D-SLRs with 35mm-sized sensors is primarily aimed at amateurs, but they're also good news for professionals. Taking a hit on obsolete digital cameras has been a fact of life for working photographers, the downside o...
Full-frame sensor, Comparatively affordable, Great for all types of photography
Fixed screen, Very soft shutter button
