The Canon EOS 6D MarkII is supposed to be the more budget-friendly gateway into the world of full-frame cameras, and offers 45-AF points along with in-camera time-lapse and HDR Video modes.

Great ergonomics; In-camera HDR Video; Fast and accurate AF

Burst limited to 6.5 fps; Heavy for extended use; Single SD Card slot

After publishing a detailed First Look at Canon's entry-level 'full frame' DSLR, the EOS 6D in September last year, we have been able to review a production unit in March 2013. It was supplied with the new EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens , which is reviewed separately.

? Despite a few quibbles, the 20.2-megapixel Canon EOS 6D lives up to its promise of housing a glorious, full-frame CMOS sensor inside a smaller, lighter, and more affordable digital SLR camera body designed for prosumers, enthusiasts, and even novice photographers.

Excellent image quality on par to more expensive full-frame DSLRs (including the 5D Mark III); Responsive all-around performer; Superior HD video-shooting chops; Built-in Wi-Fi with remote control and sharing features, Built-in GPS and geotagging, Offers the glories of a full-frame sensor in a more...

Lacks a built-in, pop-up flash; No external headphone jack; Rather basic 11-point autofocus system; Mediocre burst speed, While it's more affordable than previous Canon full-frame cameras, some users might find the $2,000 price tag still to be too high, No pop-up flash, No built-in AF illuminator...

Prior to the announcement of the Canon EOS 6D ($2,099 direct, body only) and the Nikon D600 , shooters who wanted a full-frame camera -one with an image sensor the same size as a 35mm film frame-were faced with a small number of choices at $3,000 and up.

Compact; Inexpensive for its class; Full-frame sensor; 4.5fps shooting; Superb image quality at high ISOs; Interchangeable focus screens; Integrated GPS and Wi-Fi; 1080p30 video capture; Battery grip available; Supported USB tethered and Wi-Fi remote control

Not the fastest camera on the block; Viewfinder only offers 97 percent coverage; Not compatible with EF-S lenses; GPS saps battery life; No flash; Slow focus during video recording; No PC Sync socket

In our opinion, Canon has hit the target he set for himself: to create a professional SLR accessible for cost and method of use to user's enthusiasts. Of course, we are not at the levels of a Mark III and even a Mark II.

Contrast; Sharpness; Detail and excellent color; Focus on fast-3EV point center cross; DIGIC 5 processor; Wi-Fi and GPS; 1080p video at 30fps good quality

Only 11 points of focus therefore not very suitable for sports photography; a single slot for memory cards

To be honest, I regret not being able to review the Canon 6D for almost two years since it was released. It is a wonderful camera with superb image quality and a good balance of features.

The Canon EOS 6D is one of the cheapest new full frame Digital SLRs available, find out how it performs in our review.

Excellent image quality; Excellent high ISO performance; Built in HDR shooting; Good value for money; Built in GPS / Wi-Fi; Quiet single / continuous shooting mode; Lightest / Smallest full frame DSLR; Lens AF fine tuning and distortion correction; Electronic level

1 memory card slot; Competitors feature built in flash; Lacks headphone socket for people keen on video; RAW shooting not available when using the HDR mode

The new EOS 6D is the smallest and lightest full-frame Canon DSLR. The 6D features a 20.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, built-in wireless transmitter, integrated GPS module, DIGIC 5+ image processor, an 11-point autofocus array, 63-zone dual-layer iFCL metering sensor, an expanded ISO range of...

I bought this camera mainly because I wanted a full-frame, Canon camera that was smaller and lighter than my 5D4. I have used the 6D2 for nearly a month, primarily for wildlife and landscapes; so I have tested it extensively within a wide array of lighting conditions--and am so far very impressed.

Great low light performance, Fast AF, light and portable compared to other full frames. Works really well for capturing my young kids and for traveling.
