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
You'll get cracking shots from the wide assortment of manual controls, some of which can be controlled by WiFi and GPS comes as standard too.
A flash needs to be purchased separately as there isn't one builtin, the viewfinder falls a little short and HD video is not all it should be
If you hanker after the superb Canon 5D Mark III, but it remains firmly out of reach because of cost, then the EOS 6D takes you in the premium photography direction. High-quality images with the flexibility of separate lenses and plenty of manual control...
Image quality; Full frame sensor; Built in wifi; Built in GPS
Limited autofocus points; No built-in flash
It isn't pocket money, but the EOS 6D nonetheless puts full-frame features within reach of the more ambitious enthusiast photographer. I'd have happily swapped the GPS and Wifi for more autofocus points, but it's nonetheless a great body that captures ...
Canon’s cheapest full frame sensor DSLR for those amateurs after optimum results from the 35mm format, solid feel build yet manageable handling, on-board wireless transfer of images and the ability to control the camera remotely via iPad, built-in GPS image tagging
Size and bulk will still mark you out as a professional so not the best option for candid street photography, expensive if you won’t feel the benefit of that full frame sensor
For anyone who has previously thought they'd have to go the second hand route to afford a full frame DSLR like an EOS 5D Mark III or 1DX – or who wasn't keen on the bulk usually associated with a pro model – this Canon offers a brand new alternative that...
Published: 2013-02-10, Author: Simon , review by: stuff.tv
Abstract: Despite being only a teensy bit smaller than its rival the Nikon D600, the Canon feels more compact and less dressed for action – whether that's a good or bad thing is up to you. The 11-point autofocus may sound sorely lacking compared to the 39-pointer o...
The Canon EOS 6D is a top-notch full-frame camera in a relatively compact body. With a relatively affordable price, enthusiast-friendly features, and spectacular image quality, it's an easy Editors' Choice....
Like the EOS 650D, which has a touchscreen and hybrid AF system, Canon has been bold again in introducing new technology into one of its DSLRs, in this case GPS and Wi-Fi to the EOS 6D. Thankfully, both features work very well and enhance the day-to-day u...
Picture quality up to 6400 ISO, Can be controlled remotely via WiFi, Silent shutter mode is a nice touch, Goodquality LCD, Autofocus performs well in low light, Excellent video quality, Good general design and handling
No builtin flash, No headphones socket (for video), flash sync socket or USB 3 connection, No overlay tools in EVF (grids, etc.), No touchscreen or swivel screen, Autofocus is too slow in Live View and video / AF zone is a little tight, EFS lenses not com
The Canon EOS 6D is an attractive full-frame SLR (24 x 36 mm) that's light, responsive and pleasant to handle. Picture quality is excellent in both photo and video modes. Some of Canon's choices are may be questionable (no built-in flash, no swivel screen...
Excellent image quality, Impressive low-light performance, Intuitive Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS support, Solid and robust build quality, Accurate metering system
Only one cross-type AF sensor, No built-in pop-up flash, GPS and Wi-Fi drain battery life, No manual audio control for HD video
The 6D offers superb image quality at a price that's more realistic than the 5D Mk III. That said, at around £1,689 it still represents a fairly hefty outlay – especially for those looking to upgrade from an APS-C DSLR who will find that their collection ...
