Canon EOS 6D Official Specs

Not open for further replies.
I'm getting one but not because I'm impressed but rather I need it for adapter testing (mirror interference determination).


What I would have liked:

pop up flash
articulated screen
sub 1600 price tag
no touchscreen

What is kind of cool though:

built in wifi
GPS

I don't think it's fair to assume that just because this has 11 AF points that it's automatically as bad as the 5DII, I think we'll have to wait on some reviews for that.

It seems like a decent camera, although if it was $1500 it would be an amazing camera. But even at $2099 it seems like they're still trying to position it towards rebel users wanting to upgrade to full-frame.

Hi,

One thing I'm confused about is the "Screen dots" on the LCD, not sure if that's a misprint or what. But 5D3 has 1,040,000, 5D2 has 920,000, and this only has 102,400? How bad does the LCD look then?
I think they miss a letter: "K"... ;D This show that everyone is copy and paste without looking.... ha ha ha :p

Have a nice day.

Delay, quality issue, quick price drop (indication of overprice?), boring new product, .... Something is not right. I give two thumbs up to their lens department, but the 1DX and 5D3 might be the last two cameras that (arguably) beat their competitors if they let arrogance and lack of innovation take over.

One word for the 6D?

Meh.
+1, that is the best way to describe this incremental model.

another is.... thank god!
(since I was slow to get my 5D2 listed for sale, maybe now it won't 100% crash in price, although damn, I bet this will knock a couple hundred bucks off it though :( )


but man the D600 just makes this look utterly silly! How can the 6D be the same price?

So, I think it's a stupid spec once again showing Canon being totally behind the 8 ball, arrogant and left behind. But man am I ever relieved and happy personally ;D I may not have utterly blown it by being so slow to list my 5D2 for sale....

Hopefully the one saving specification the Canon could have at this point might ironically be the 11 point AF system... wait, I know what your thinking, hear me out...

From what we've seen of both Nikon's and Sony's offerings, they're using AF modules borrowed from their APS-C cameras, meaning they occupy a tiny little fraction of the frame, all clustered into the centre. Aside from subject tracking, which these cameras are not made for, and which the Sony will (based on specs alone) probably only marginally excel at, having all the AF points in the centre is a nightmare for all sorts of photographers who would like this as a secondary body, and for those people as basic as an 11 point AF seems, its better than a "19+109 point" that covers a fraction of the frame.

Here's hoping that Canon manage to bring out the only entry level FF with FF AF.

AF systems are basically the same size for APS_C or APS-H or FF so not sure what you mean buy that....

Well this pretty much wraps it up for me. If I'm going FF, it will be the D600. My other option is to hope they don't drop the ball as badly as this when then release a 7D replacement....if a new 7D has reduced noise, I will upgrade then and just stick with a crop camera. I hope this really, really flops and Canon finally wakes up.

Does this thing even have any AF assist points? The 5D2 is 9+6 pts for 15 total I think. 9 regular and 6 hidden assists. So is this one 11 regular but 0 assists? For sports/action/bird tracking that would actually make it a worse camera than the 5D2. Maybe it is 11+6? (the part of me that's wants canon to do well hopes so, the part of me that wants to sell my 5D2 hopes not as well as the part of me that wants them for once and all to finally get woken up before they give it all away.... they were once the total leader in sensors and then video and now....)
