I'm a full time wedding photographer and I have been using the Canon 6Ds for about 4 years now. In my opinion, the 6D's are the best because they are a fraction of the cost as a 5D but just as good + it's a full frame. I also prefer the 6Ds because of their color sensor.

While DSLRs fitted with APS-C sensors have always been popular with enthusiasts and consumers looking for a camera that offers a good balance between image quality and value for money, full-frame DSLRs have long been the number one choice for full-time professional photographers on account of their...

Excellent image quality; Impressive low-light performance; Intuitive Wi-Fi connectivity and GPS support; Solid and robust build quality; Accurate metering system

Only one cross-type AF sensor; No built-in pop-up flash; GPS and Wi-Fi drain battery life; No manual audio control for HD video

The Canon EOS 6D might sound like the dream ticket for full-frame DSLR aspirers. It's the first time that Canon's dipped its toe into the "budget" full-frame pond. But, to be realistic, its ￡1600 body-only asking price is still more the cash equivalent of a dive than a doggy-paddle.

Full-frame image quality; EOS Utility wireless shooting via computer has potential; view images from camera using smartphone device on location; smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR

Limited autofocus points; central-arrangement of autofocus points; just one SD card slot; no rear joystick-like control; no clean HDMI output; Wi-Fi just isn't user friendly; being forced to use Canon Image Gateway is irritating

Canon has pitched the 20.2 effective megapixel EOS 6D as offering an entry point into its full frame professional DSLR line-up for those looking to trade up from an APS-C sensor DSLR.

Full-frame chip; Proper photographic control; Wi-Fi picture transfer

Pricey if you're not a pro

All things considered, the Canon EOS 6D is an excellent choice for the enthusiast and club photographer looking for a full-frame DSLR. These users will find that they have just about everything they need, and a bit more besides.

I had a 6D and I updated to the Mark II, best camera ever, flip screen is super useful, touch screen as well. Awesome build quality as always, video side improved, not the best but is good, 1080p at 60fps is really handy. Compact compared other full frame dslr, so perfect for travel.

Great value for money

Autofocus isn't great

Very very nice camera for the price. As far as mega pixels go it captures less details than other FF cameras such as the 5D III but with less MP comes the bonus of having less noise and slightly higher dynamic range with is just great.

Taking photos with a full-frame camera is an amazing experience. Shots just look so much wider and more fulfilling thanks to the bigger sensor. It used to be that you had to pay big bucks to get yourself a full-frame camera, but thanks to Canon, you can now get a model like the EOS 6D for about...

Full-frame sensor; Comparatively affordable; Great for all types of photography

Fixed screen; Very soft shutter button

Originally reviewed in 2013, we revisit the Canon EOS 6D to see if it's still worth it. Surprisingly the camera's price has risen slightly, where it can now be found for just over £1,510 on Amazon .
