Canon 6D Review after 1 Million images taken

When I started Photography as my main job I bought this camera - the Canon 6D and it was September 2013. Now we are in 2019 heading towards 2020 and it is still at my side. I have two of them and together they got me over 1.3 Million images. Enough images taken to give an emotion review about it. Not so many technical issues and specs, more real life experiences and many many images so you can see, what you can get with this camera, even in 2019. So let's start!

    To me, the old 6D is the best camera for the money Canon ever made. The files are so nice, the handling very simplistic and the AF on the center point very precise. Not the fastest camera of course. AF in low light could be better. But still now after 7 years, you can't go wrong with this model. (unless you do action and sport photography only)

    Agreed. I bought 6D when it first came out. Upgraded to 5D4 only for the reason that I shoot a lot of sports in ice rink (hockey and skating). The interesting thing is that my keeper rate was pretty much the same in those conditions with my 6D and the same lenses using only the center point. I kind of miss the 6D - might buy one newly as a second body :-). The more simple the camera, the more it frees you to focus on shooting. Not at all interested in RF-lineup, at least yet.

    Yea, but if you can buy a better tool for the money. Isn't that valid critism? Of course it is. Hence Reviewers, who's job it is too look at the tool and compare it to the other tools, critisze it. Canon simply is falling behind the competition. That doesnt mean their tools are bad, it just means they are bad value relative to the competition, that they are technologically worse. Camera companies have you tied in with their lenses and eco-system, but if they werent Canon would have a lot more trouble. The point is never that the Canon system is uncapable because of it's aged technical performance, but more so that if you are coming into DSLR's there is little to no reason to buy the Canon over the competition, given you just compare cameras, dont have any lenses etc. Sure Canon has it's strengths (Tilt shift lenses :O ) but they are severelly hampered by their aging systems. It's time for Canon to start producing some top tier cameras again. The days of the 5D Mark 2 which revolutionaized the market. I personally own both Canon and Nikon. Although more Nikon gear. I enjoy both. Just some food for thought.

I have the $ to spend so I'm thinking about buying new Canon but now I change my mind and believe that I can rely on the 6D just as it helps your career. I also learned many new tricks from your review too. Thank you so much again and wishing you the best. Can't wait to see more of your video.

    I've owned the 6D Mark 1 since 2014... (long story but after a surviving a medical crisis, I moved from a Nikon D5000 to Canon and L-glass, never looked back). The solid build, durability, and low light performance, and of course full frame IQ (it was my 1st) blew me away compared to what I had. I do ZERO people photography and primarily landscape, astrophotography, and something the 6D wasn't intended for ... fast moving aircraft at airshows. Yes, the AF system on the original is "basic" 11pt AF and one cross-type point by today's standards seems like old tech. Yet, the results I've achieved with this camera have far exceeded what I ever imagined. The clean images w/ great color (I shoot only RAW) never disappoint. I've locked on in AI Servo on the center point and "stopped" a 500mph fighter jet w/ all manner of details. When the 6D2 came out... I rented for a weekend and shot at low ISO in daylight (ISO100) and shadow recovery couldn't match the original 6D. At higher ISO especially if you're someone who shoots indoors in low light, I hear the 6D2 is quite good but that's not my space. I'm outdoors in bright light shooting planes or under stars (doing star trail imaging). I had hoped for more but waited until Black Friday and got an insane deal on the faster higher MP 5D Mark 4. Love the 5DM4, 7FPS is great, touch screen and IQ is great as well... but the 6D still goes with me every show I attend and BOTH deliver. That you can still get a NEW 6D for 999 USD online in the US, IMO, makes it the best FF for the money that can be found. The original 6D will be a Canon legend one day. Great video. (an example of what the 6D does in my subject space 500px.com/photo/244876829/us-navy-blue-angels-boeing-f-a-18-hornets-solo-pair-takeoff-by-mark-streit )

    @@grababi I just recently bought and extensively used my Canon EOS R this weekend in a real wedding, I am in awe on how the image quality is so good in all situations, but some features like the AF (which some times are missed, which is a bummer). I think the continuous shooting should be improved, it feels so slow, and using the video mode, has some inconvenience, like the huge cropping (I can't seem to know the logic behind it when you actually use a L series and probs defeat the purpose of the original focal length), and the digital IS feels like an in-body Premiere PRO warp stabilizer, it's not bad though but it can improve. And I know most Canon EOS R users would agree who used a sony system. But then again, I'm not a pro. I would need to used it again on an wedding event this coming weekend to learn more. It's still good, I think it's worth it, coming from a 6D user, who enjoys a flippy screen, dual pixel AF, and I think one of the best feature that every company should do, that when you take out the lens, there's a blocking mechanism to protect the sensor from dust or anything that can harm it while switching to a different lens.

    Thanks a lot! I'm not using the 6D so much like you but have some dust on the sensor. I'm wondering. I bought my 6D 3 years ago as a used camera for about 800€. Now I shoot about 300.000 images and it's very durable. Everything is working fine and AF also working in very dark conditions, when you have some lines to focus on. Only faces, without glasses, have some problems in dark conditions. Also the camera is working very well with 3rd party lenses. Like you I'm using often used gear. The community and marketplaces are full of good and cheap stuff. Also renting is fun for playing around. Now you can buy this camera cheap, amazing.

I have created beautiful photographs on full frame I have treated beautiful photographs on the Ricoh gr and the pentax Q . We're starting to be like Hollywood movies creating a lot of standards that are not needed but in this case they're not protecting the industry if anything they're debilitating it more. Won't be long before photographers or spending $3,000 on cameras and working for two hundred bucks a day.

    Great video for aspiring wedding photographers ! Battery life and silent shutter are two of the most important features for wedding photographers. Of course good lenses help. When I first purchased my used 6D, I wasn't too crazy about it because of the clack clack of the shutter. I shot a wedding with this camera and I could tell that the people were getting annoyed. I figured I would use my Pentax K5 II, or Nikon D7100 which have better sounding shutters during the ceremony, but both these cameras have cropped sensors. It was only after playing around with the "Q" dial that I realized the 6D has a silent shooting mode ! Now I keep it on silent unless I'm shooting fast action. I love and appreciate the 6D even more because of this feature. Now I also know to stay away from the 6D II.

By the way, I genre is mostly landscape. I am intrigue you mentioned seconds when editing. I am leaning into getting a used quality body having a EF24-105 f4 for a start or with the EF17-40 f4.
