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
$2

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

Everything the D600 is for Nikonians, the EOS 6D is for Canonites: a relatively affordable full-frame option, aimed at photographers looking to get their start in high-end portraiture or event shooting. Plus the—shall we say—"price insensitive" consumers ...

Abstract: Canon's brand new EOS 6D is the company's most affordable full-frame camera, clocking in at $2,099.99 body-only, and entering into direct competition with the excellent Nikon D600. The most important specs include sensitivity up to ISO 102400, 20.2 megapi...
Full-frame image quality, EOS Utility wireless shooting via computer has potential, view images from camera using smartphone device on location, smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR
Limited autofocus points, central-arrangement of autofocus points, just one SD card slot, no rear joystick-like control, no clean HDMI output, Wi-Fi just isn't user friendly, being forced to use Canon Image Gateway is irritating
The EOS 6D delivers the image quality, but is paired with a focus system that's a game of two halves: it's great in low-light, but lacks the extended number of AF points that we'd like to see. A partially restricted viewfinder is also a downside, while...

Enthusiast, centric controls, Remote control via Wi, Fi, GPS technology, High image quality
No flash, Lacks some connections, 97% viewfinder coverage, Limited viewfinder overlay
All things considered, the Canon EOS 6D is an excellent choice for the enthusiast and club photographer looking for a full-frame DSLR. These users will find that they have just about everything they need, and a bit more besides. It may take them a while ...
Solid build, Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS, Extremely light
Using the jog dial is uncomfortable for moving the focus points, 11-point AF system feels archaic with only one cross type point and relatively small frame coverage, Single SD card slot
The purpose of a camera is to take great photos and make the job of doing so easy and comfortable. The EOS 6D is ergonomically amazing, save for the missing thumb stick for toggling focus points. Using the jog dial is just uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi and GPS...

If you are most interested in stills and dont 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 weve ever seen. But if you are looking for the video prowess of th...

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 feels more like a beefed-up 60D than a simplified 5D Mark III. Handling and customization is kept to a minimum, and the joystick is conspicuously absent. There are only 11 AF points with limited coverage, which is disappointing. Even thou...

High amount of clarity in images, Good high ISO, low noise performance, Snappy autofocus system, Builtin WiFi to transfer images, Builtin GPS for geotagging
Limited to 11 AF points only, Simplified handling not for everyone, Single SD card slot, 97% viewfinder coverage
