froknowsphoto.com ? Click Here for the full written review. The Canon 6D is the PERFECT camera except for one fatal flaw. If you can live with this fatal flaw than this could be the camera for you. Before I get into what this flaw is lets take a deeper look at the camera and its functions as well as how it performend in real world shooting situations. As many of you know I like to do real world shooting tests when I am reviewing gear. This means no shooting charts or over analyzing unimportant features. This also means I post the FULL RES exported files for you to review and make your own decisions on image quality. Be sure to watch the video above as I cover certain topics that I may not cover below in the written review. Lets now take a look at the camera itself, how it feels. This camera feels great in the hands when you are shooting horizontically. I say that because any time you try and shoot vertical without a grip any camera will feel awkward. The rubber coating on the body makes it feel like you wont drop it and the build quality seems to feel very sturdy. As far as how it feels when your shooting, it feels just fine and people with small or large hands shouldn’t have much of a problem handling this body. People with much larger hands should consider picking up the battery grip for added confort. For the FULL written review please click here. froknowsphoto.com ?

Since I do not intend to use my 6D for sports and fast moving motion (the fastest motion I will be focusing on is a concert, which my nikon can do anyway) I think the servo relying on the single cross type will be fine. This review is awesome!

I bought 6D yesterday and I’m pretty satisfied, I was on 40D. FF is outstanding and I love it! 17mm finally means 17mm :))) Of course, I’ll keep 40D for backup camera 🙂

Excellent review! The poor autofocus is a deciding factor.

Great review! I honestly think this will be what pushes me up from my 50d to go full frame. I can’t help but to think that some of your focusing issues could have been caused by shooting behind the glass wall though. Those things can be tore up in places. The one cross type is a bummer, but I normally focus my shots at the center spot and then recompose before taking the shot. Again…. great review!

2) Highly visible noise when you shoot at ISO 6D for example 4-5000 in the gym or in other places where there is little light, and what it is the business value in 6D ISO?

Excellent review! I have a couple of questions:
1) Does the Canon 6D problem of what “band” matrix when shooting at ISO 400 and the shutter speed to 1/60? On my 5D Mark 2 is the problem that is very annoying me, I would like to know about the Canon 6D, he has this problem?

Can’t wait for spring, funds will be available…my L glass is hungry for FF digital, they work great for film on my EOS-3’s. Thanks Jared, great review…I’m a center point recompose shooter and won’t find the AF too much an issue, but as you stated, a few more cross types would have been better.

To add to this review. The Canon 6D includes a WI-FI data transmitter (a great feature for studio photography). This is not a useless option that replaces the on-camera flash.
