Glad that you got one! These videos I make like this are meant to be affirmations for people who are hesitant on buying the not-so-latest camera! Enjoy your 6D! It's gonna be an awesome workhorse for you!

@@markfriday Yes, for sure. I was just very patient and just kept watching the camera shops over here in the UK and took the chance when the right one came up! Some real bargains around as everyone goes mirrorless etc. it’s no less of a camera than it was on launch. Got mine after watching Martin Castein’s vids on it. I wasn’t disappointed! Thanks again!

Totally agree with you! Some people don't know what this camera is capable of! The underestimated because it was released so many years ago! I still use it from time to time! By the way please subscribe to the channel!

Awesome review and everything you've said about the 6D is 100% accurate and back in 2012 the camera had many advanced features. If you need fast frame rates why not pick up a 7D mark II? I use a 6D and 7D mark II and the combo is perfect and the 7D mark II is cheap, you can pick up a low mileage body for less than $400.00 in the US.

I shoot a Sony a7R3 for daytime and the O.G. 6D for nightscapes and deep sky astro. The 6D is such a great camera for that purpose.

No flippy screen but you can watch your back screen output and trigger shots etc and change things on your phone tho. Its got WIFI and an app. Great for putting your camera in difficult places.

Hi Mark. Thanks for your review. The 6D is still my main camera, and I have no need to "upgrade." If you are shooting fast action sports or wildlife photography, then maybe look elsewhere. For all other genres, it's still one of the best ever and, as you say, such a bargain these days. Get a couple of used EF L lenses and the total cost will still be far less than that of a mirrorless full frame body - maybe around £1,000 total outlay. The sensor gives fantastic results! Ergonomics are great! It's really tough, and I know people who have picked up cosmetically damaged versions that have been tested by reputable sellers such as MPB and the camera still works great...

I totally agree with you! That's exactly how I feel about it. The 6D is my wife's workhorse when it comes to photography, I just borrow it every now and then to shoot and whenever I bring back the RAW files into Lightroom, I still can't believe the images it produces, it can easily compete with my Sony A7IV's image quality!

Great stuff Mark❤

I have shot a LOT of cameras, but I always end up with a 5D MK2 and a 6D....still miss my old 7D. :) They just work! And work and work. But you actually have to know how to use a camera with these. Wich is a good thing. :)

is the 6D usable at 6400ISO? can the servo mode keep up? thanks in advance.

@markfriday

2 ай бұрын

I would say it's about 80% usable, depending on how contrasty the image is, if the shadows are lifted too much, you'll definitely see some grain building up but it's nothing Lightroom/Premiere pro can't clean up with the new denoising features. As for the servo, as long as it's not a fast moving subject, you should be fine.

6D MK1 11 focus points works fine with me finding and using judgement, but let’s face it no matter how technology moves on there’s always something to Nit Pick “ Thanks

Thank you!

Hey, Gustavo. I did post some photos as B-roll here. My wife's main camera for shooting portraits and weddings is the Canon 6D. She trusts it more than Sony mirrorless cameras. The Canon 6D's sensor, for the price, is amazing. As long as you have enough practice to use the camera, you'll be able to use it in professional shoots, it''s about knowing which autofocus point to use at whichever given moment you're in. As for the price, I think it's a no-brainer, especially when you consider what other camera companies offer, Like Sony's cheapest full frame camera is the A7C, and it's nowhere near as cheap as a Canon6d with an included lens.

This talk of shooting at iso 3200 and 6400...is that for photos? Or video? I have a 6d and it is NOT a good low light camera. Also, a huge drawback is it's auto focus for stills. Only 11 points, and they are all clustered in the middle of the frame. So if, say, your subject is standing in the corner of a blank wall, you'd would have to focus and recompose. It was always super annoying. Probably the main reason I stopped using the camera.
