‘I’ve been shooting with the EOS
6D for a little over a year now, and
I’m thoroughly impressed with this
mid-range DSLR from Canon. As
an amateur photographer, I can’t
really fault this camera as it has
everything I need and more. I
stepped up from the EOS 760D
and it’s been a revelation. It was
a considerable jump from my
previous crop-sensor body: the
images were so much sharper; it
retains more detail and of course
the fi les can be pushed that bit
further in post-processing. There
are things I miss like an articulated
fl ip screen, but it’s something that
you can live without. As someone
who doesn’t make a living from
photography, I fi nd it hard to justify
spending huge amounts of money
on the high-end gear when
cameras like the 6D are easy
enough to source second-hand
at very reasonable prices.’
For and against
- True workhorse of a camera
- Very portable and weighs just 755g
- Weather-sealing could be better
- Lacks an articulated flip screen
