Camera weakness:

• Severe moire
• Soft image
• No headphone socket

severe moire AND a soft image; that's quite the lovely combo. Usually you accept one in exchange for not getting the other

I don't understand this too. Is this even possible? Hmmm.... anyway, it's video and I really don't care

[Stuart]

Watching the video full screen is does not seem HD sharp is this the high ISO, poor lens, bad conversion to web video or is it really just this soft?

Canon says, "BUY A 5DIII for video!"

Regardless what Dpreview said about the 6D high ISO Vs 5D III, I don't believe 6D will perform better than 5D III in high or low ISO. I'm talking about IQ of course.

i say "fuk you canon"..... i sit on my money and stick to my 5D MK2 a few years longer.

what did dpreview say?

you mean what you see on the the sample images or did dpreview comment them yet?

That about sums it up perfectly.  There is no reason for the 6D video quality to be any worse than the 5D3 (very similar sensor, same processor, encoding, etc), but then there would be no reason to buy a 5D3 over the 6D for video shooting.   Hence the lack of auto monitoring, and possibly a lesser moire reduction/sharpening algorithm.

I'm a stills shooter, so I don't care much, but if I did video I think the Blackmagic Cinema Camera is by far the best "low cost" option on the market.

I'd rather eat some of the chocolates that were shown in the sample video than own the 6D.

[Drizzt321]

Mmmm...chocolate.

I don't shoot much video, but I definitely saw lots of moire. I hesitate to say it's worse than my 5d2, but it's still very bad. Didn't seem particularly great quality to me. The 35mm T/1.5 Samyang/Rokinon/Bower lens is more interesting to me, although I'd get the standard photo version since I rarely shoot any video.

which ever ways you translated.....the IQ of 6D will not out perform 5D III. Don't expect too much from entry level model.

Am no fan of video, so I don't care, but there do seem to a lot of variables possibly not controlled by the test, so... this may be better than we think it is... Not time to dump our canons overboard yet... We must hold true!!!
