<strong>More time with the EOS 6D
</strong>When I brought the EOS 6D to Costa Rica as my only camera body, I honestly didn’t think I’d like the camera all that much. I’ve had the luxury of using some great cameras like the EOS-1D X and EOS 5D Mark III. However, after a little over a week with it, I must say that I’m very impressed.</p>
<p><strong>The Good (So far)
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The image quality is top notch, I find colour rendition and dynamic range to be terrific.</li>
<li>Build quality, the camera doesn’t feel cheap.</li>
<li>The ergonomics are better than I thought they’d be.</li>
<li>The center AF point is quite good.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Bad (So far)</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Battery life is terrible if GPS and WiFi are on.</li>
<li>There was the odd time 1/8000 would have been nice.</li>
<li>The outer AF points, while better than the 5D2, aren’t as accurate as the center point.</li>
<li>I have big hands and the control pad inside the dial can be inaccurate if not pressed perfectly.</li>
</ul>
<p>I still don’t like the EF 24-70 f/2.8L II on the EOS 6D. Mainly because of the bulk of the lens compared to the body. The results are terrific, it just doesn’t balance well. I wouldn’t use a battery grip on a small camera, however it may feel better if you do.</p>
<p>I will continue to evaluate the camera during my stay in Costa Rica and work towards a full review of the EOS 6D.</p>
<p>Below are some images from San Jose, Costa Rica taken yesterday.</p>
