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
Price

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
The EOS 6D is an excellent camera, particularly for stills photographers looking for excellent imaging performance in a relatively compact and lightweight camera body – for its sensor size. Its feature set will suit most advanced amateurs and experienced ...
Built-in Wi-Fi is easy and seamless to use. Full-frame image quality is excellent. Lightweight body. GPS in-camera
No headphone jack. Video quality not as good as the Mark III. AF system could use a few more points
An excellent camera for Canon users who are looking to step up into the world of full-frame photography, the 6D delivers great photo and video quality, as well as effective Wi-Fi....
The low-light, high-ISO performance of this camera is so good that we left it set to ISO 1250 and loved the results. The wi-fi connection to a smartphone works brilliantly.
Some may miss an inbuilt flash, which on the competing Nikon D600 can control offcamera speed lights
For anyone hankering after the superior images produced by a full-frame camera, and has a bag full of Canon mount lenses, the price of entry has been dramatically lowered with the EOS 6D. We recommend it without reservation, but must point out that there ...

If you are most interested in stills and don't care that much about video quality, the 6D is a great value — it produces top-notch pictures, with very few compromises, at a lower price than we've ever seen. But if you are looking for the video prowess of...

Buying Guide Best DSLR: top cameras by price and brand There's no doubt where the 20.2MP Canon EOS 6D is aimed. With some professional features stripped, you're left with a camera finely tuned to the needs of the enthusiast. The full frame sensor captures...

Full-frame sensor, Comparatively affordable, Great for all types of photography
Fixed screen, Very soft shutter button
Canon's EOS 6D is a great introduction into the world of full-frame photography. It's a relatively fast camera that's easy to use and its high ISO performance is stellar. Well worth considering if you're an enthusiast, but you will also need some new lens...
I have no hesitation in recommending the 6D with one single proviso. Good L-series or prime optic glass is required to get the best from the camera's sensor. Hence, it would be an expensive upgrade for someone changing from an APS-C Canon EOS (e.g. a 650D...
