Canon EOS 6D

Canon’s first enthusiast full-frame DSLR June 2012

there’s no beating a full-frame camera for attaining a shallow depth of field, and isolating the main subject in portraiture and still life photography. But while we might aspire to the full-frame format, it remained an unaffordable luxury for many of us, until the Canon EOS 6D. Relatively inexpensive for a full-frame DSLR, it’s also conveniently compact and lightweight.

The 11-point autofocus system worked extremely well, even in near-darkness. Low-light photography with the EOS 6D also benefits from sublimely clean, low-noise image quality, even at very high ISO settings. Creative shooting modes include HDR (High Dynamic Range) and multiple exposure options.

Innovations

Great for travel photography, the EOS 6D is Canon’s first EOS camera to feature built-in GPS and Wi-fi. This makes it easy to geotag your images as you shoot, and to share your images with family and friends, even if they’re on the other side of the world.

Summary

Simple to use but highly effective, the enthusiast-level full-frame EOS 6D has only just been updated to a Mk II edition, five years later. The difference in price between this and the latest incarnations of the EOS 5D make it an even more attractive buy today.
