6D is ergonomically better than my older gen 1 5D. I've compared 5D with EF 50mm f/1.8 II, 6D with EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and Fuji X-T10 with 35mm f/2.0 lens. I must say that 6D produces a bit more beautiful images than 5D with more noticeable level of dynamic range. However, in some situations an older 5D produces by default a bit more warmer tone, and 5D picture appear to be more pleasant from time to time. But compared to Fuji X-T10 mirrorless camera with award winning 35mm f/2.0 lens, 5D and 6D images with Canon's 50mm f/1.8 lenses fall short in corner areas. When zoomed in 3 times for cropping or pixel peeping, Canon's images begin to look like painting instead of photograph, while Fuji X-T10 images look remain photographic. I regret that I have bought Canon 6D. I plan to get rid of all of my Canons and buy one more Fuji X-T10 with different lenses. Fuji's imaging is so much superior than Canons as long as jpeg shooting is concerned. If you shoot RAW though, it is an entirely different matter as long as you process your RAW file with CaptureOne Pro 7 and later. CaptureOne Pro's RAW processing engine is so much better than Lightroom or Photoshop. I no longer use any RAW processing software from Adobe.Read full review

But, as some others have mentioned the focusing is tricky and always at the forefront of my mind when shooting. Something I feel I should not have to worry about, something I never worried about with my 5D of eight years. Focusing is not accurate especially with my EF 50mm 1.4 lens which I love dearly when using at the larger apertures. I have used the focusing adjustment to match the focal plane of the camera with different lenses but it's like chasing a ghost, always changes with different focusing distances. It's a nice quality camera and maybe in time I will learn to live with the focusing issues but I would not buy this camera again based on better experiences with other Canon cameras. I have been an avid photographer for over 40 years and used many film and digital cameras especially Canon products for what it's worth. I hope this helps you in making a decision to purchase this item!Read full review

A modern classic. The 6D is still easy to use, well built and versatile. It's a great entry point to the world of full-frame 35mm. The Canon system offers great value, too, with a huge inventory of great lenses. For taking stills, it's a great performer with quick and accurate autofocus, beautiful colour and sufficient resolution. The one area where the 6D can't compete with more recent cameras is video. It can capture nice-looking 1080p footage but the lack of autofocus and in-body image stabilization make it much harder to use compared to modern mirrorless cameras and smartphones.

Bought used but still has lots of life and very capable. Great affordable Canon full-frame camera that is ergonomic, solid, and waterproof. Substantial but not bulky. Takes great images in all environments and the menu is easy to navigate and personalize. Takes advantage of high-quality Canon EF lenses. I bought this used as an upgrade to a 60D cropped frame kit. Don't need to spend more on the latest rig because I'm an advanced amateur shooter.

Great value; while it's a bit dated at this point, it's still a totally solid full-frame camera. After a few months of use, I only have a couple of gripes. I wish it was set up with a joystick, instead of the D-pad type thing inside the function wheel. I wish it had a dedicated white balance select button, like the 5D, and the autofocus is pretty lacking, also like the 5D Mk II I'm upgrading from. However, I'm not shooting sports, so I'm not really in need of anything fancy as far as AF points go. It would be nice to have the capability, though. Otherwise, I absolutely love it! It's substantially lighter than my old 5D II, which has been surprisingly wonderful, as someone who carries a camera around a lot.
