Thanks for Making Used/Vintage Cameras Great Again. Not a Canon user but did own an FTB long time ago. I was watching a video from Finland about their used camera facility. Wow, thousands of old and not so old cameras. Soon the cameras we used today will be in a Used Camera facility. How time flies. Getting a used camera like what you mention is a great way for a youngster get started in photography.
Pretty decent photos, well composed, well-lit and posed. I have the 6D MKII and have used it for events, models, portraits, etc. I've never used it for weddings because I always used a 5D MKII and two 7D's for weddings. (Plus, I stopped shooting weddings several years ago.) I had them before I got the 6D MKII, but the images, like yours, from the events and other things I've shot with the 6D MKII have excellent color, definition, etc. I typically use 3 lenses for my events and models or graduating seniors: the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 ISIII, Canon EF 24-70 2.8 L, and the Canon 24-105 f/4 L lens. I always have a wide angle and 50mm with me. which I use if necessary. I agree with you totally about the 6D being a workhorse. I have several mirrorless cameras but still often use the 5D MKII and the 6D MKII when I shoot models. I'm used to them, and they work well. I can't bring myself to sell or trade them in, I like them too much. When I finally quit being a photographer, I'll put them on a shelf in my house to remind me of when I was a photographer.
@@guyphoto9437 could not agree more! We plan on retiring first of the year and I don’t think I can let go of the 6d! You’re right about it and the 5dmkii for color science! Just the very best in both cameras! I’ve got my last official wedding lined up for middle November and that will be all for the “Big” weddings for us! I’ll do small stuff for friends, but at my age the 10 hour weddings are coming to an end! It’s been a great career and I won’t change a thing! I appreciate you being a part of our channel you always have good advice for everyone, and that not always easy to find on TH-cam! Thanks so much for watching!
I got a 6D plus a 50mm 1.8 STM, a shoulder bag, third party batteries, charger, battery grip and other small things, all for $100usd. But the camera have missing rubber parts, missing ports covers, missing the dial letters, spongy loose rubber dial wheel, have scratches all over the body, looks like an post apocalyptic war camera 😂. It have more than 120.000 shutter actuations, but the sensor is in perfect condition, the shutter mechanism work flawlessly, flash shoe works, everything works ok and that surprised me. Screens have scratches but it's usable. It works. Now I want to perform a restoration. I'll buy the port covers, the dial wheel, the missing parts, the rubber part that covers the body. It's cheaper than i thought!! From amazon or from china you have all the rubber or plastic spare parts and there are tutorials in youtube to replace it all.
@@johnpoulter I think it's a low price, but if you see the camera you would think it's broken 😅. It's in really bad exterior condition. I think the ugly beaten exterior is the reason why nobody wanted to purchase the camera.
Love my 6D. Mine has been beat to crap over the last almost-decade and is still chugging. I really like the noise pattern at higher ISOs and the dynamic range is still serviceable imo. I just use center point AF and focus-and-recompose technique and the autofocus is perfectly usable. Ergonomics are on point too.
Now you got me going down a rabbit hole on this camera. The colors and the low light performance have me intrigued. I’m a Sony shooter a7r4a and it’s no chump, but this is affordable, it works well in low light and it has cheap ef lenses.
The 6D was my first DSLR camera and I will always have fond memories of my time with it. Little did i know when I got it that I would be drawn to wildlife photography. While that 11 point AF was good for portraits and similar, it only had one really good AF point at the center. I quickly moved to the 70D, then the 7Dm2, then the 80D, 90D, 5Dm4, 5DSR, then the R5, R7, R5m2, and the R3. And I rented other ones like the 1DX2 and 1DX3, R6, too. So the 6D definitely set me on a path with Canon cameras and lenses. But I cannot go back, and I still think Canon has good colors. I parted with my 6D when the R5 hit the market.
Hi good video and I loved the photos. The Canon 5d mark iii is in my hall of fame. I think all of those cameras in the right hands has something special about it.👍🏾
I've used the Nikon Df and Canon 1DX, and the 6D's low-light ability is so close to both as to make no difference; a 6D's also half the price of a Df and about half the weight of a 1DX. Shutter durability can be remarkable: another photographer had two 6ds, one with 600,000 on the clock, and the other over a million. Super camera & yes, very underrated. Cheers! 👍
6D and older Sigma 85mm 1.4 ex is still my goto for Portraits. Combo just has a golden glow to it The Nikon d700 paired with vintage AI lenses like 85 f2, 105 2.5 are amazing too.
@@jmoffitt36 I agree those sigma lenses are great! I’ve got a 24-105 f4.0 art lenses I love for general range in a Run and gun situation! Thanks for watching!!
I could not afford any of the 5D series cameras, so this was my first full-frame DSLR back in the day (I can't believe its been 12 years). When looking back at the images, I can't believe how crisp the images are - especially my landscape photos. I have not been able to replicate the look with any of my other subsequent mirrorless cameras
The colors are just wonderful on the older canons. I shoot with the 1dx and 6d. I just have to adjust the white balance sometimes and add saturation and they are dialed. No color grading.
I'm still evaluating my Canon 6D after a bit of use, but at least I can say that I MUCH prefer the Canon color rendition over that of my Nikon cameras.
Great video. My first camera was a 6D for night scapes and Astrophotography. Your right it is a hall of fame camera for sure. For portraits events and landscapes as well as Astrophotography its totally incredible. To think you can get it for $400 now is a amazing buy. I have a stock 6D and a Astrophotography Modified 6D and they will be with me for a long time to come. Plus the 30 years EF Canon and 3rd party lenses you can really build a great kit for half the price or more. Thanks again for the video.
The 6D is definitely one of the best digital cameras of all time. The sensor even outperformed the 5D mkiii that came out at the same time. The 5D, 5D ii, D3, D700, 6D, 5D iv, D800.. GOAT cameras. There's others too for notable firsts like the digital rebel, the 1Ds first full frame, first CMOS sensor in the D30, sony A7 first full frame mirrorless, and so on, but they're not quite the same workhorses and super crazy popular and common.
I have the Canon 5D with the f4/24-105L lens. In 2022 I bought a used 6D for $425 CAN. (I wouldn’t have bought the 6D if I didn’t already have the 24-105.) The 6D and the 24-105 made a very competent combo for photography. No better DSLR for the price. Big though! I like to take them everywhere. My Canon RP is technically a better camera than the 6D, but it doesn’t generate the same amount of emotional response!
Stunning work. My question: Leaving one card slot/lovely to have eye-detect discussions aside would you be happy shooting a whole wedding with this camera on a bright day?? (photography side only). Enjoyed the vid.
Absolutely, did it many times! It was my number one camera until I bought the R6 which was only about 2 years ago. I bought the R6 because we were photographing a school and I was setting up two studios. One I used the 6D the other the R6. I found a Canon refurbished R6 for $1699 back when it was going for $2k.
@@danielmartinphotography Well, thank goodness for that as just bought one🤣😂🙃In Australia but v roughly (feels like spend not current exchange rate whatever) say $360 tops. all up, delivered.
Had 6D, 16-35mm f4, for landscapes..would like 6Dii - (flippy screen). Had Canon 40D, 7D too. Had Nikon D600, ZFC. Have D70, D750, D810. Canon 6D is very special. •Want a Canon 5DSR or D850 •Or if Mirrorless, Z7ii or A74, S5ii.
DIGIC 5+ refers to the Processor, not the sensor, although Canon also makes their own sensors to work with the DIGIC processors. I always had my eye on this camera but I ended up getting a very mint, low shutter count 5D II at a great price. The only issue I have with Canon is closely watching my highlights compared to other brands I use... oh and the power switch being in the most awkward place.
@@artsilva thanks for the info, I misspoke on the processor!! I never had the 6Dii but heard it was a great camera. I went from the 6D to the R6. Thanks so much for watching!!
3:21 incorrect. Sony mirrorless FF cameras (the A7 lineup) offers the most diverse range of lenses. With the official Sony adapter, you can use old minolta lenses, and with third party adapters, you can also use elf lenses (while still having exif).
That's wonderful to know but who cares? Just how many lenses do you need? If you need more than 3 lenses, hmm, perhaps it's time to look for another hobby. I do have a Canon 6D, 16-35mm L, 24-70mmL, 70-200mm L. Never had the need any more lenses. I know, micro lens, portrait lens etc etc. I can do all that with the above noted lenses.
AF coverage and dynamic range were simply indecent compared to Nikon's competition 😢 (and... to what was available from Canon's own shelves as far as AF is concerned! 🤦🏻)
Yes the 5D3 had the AF, and Canon weren’t about to jeopardise its status, and yes, dynamic range couldn’t compete with what was out there. But, for astro shooting the 6D was king, championed by the late great Alyn Wallace. I have the R6, again overshadowed by the R5 ( history repeating ) but I think will be in the same position in 10 years. It had the same sensor and AF as the 1Dx2, the pinnacle of the Canon range at the time.
It was/is a decently priced camera in second hand for the entry into FF for cropped Canon shooters. There is only one useful AF point, but at least it is accurate, unlike on the squint 5D and 5D2 and all the non-1D Canons until the 60D market entry. The sensor was probably the best of the "old" sensor type, being better than what was in 5D3, 6D2 and RP. I now have R6-2 as the primary camera, but have 6D as a "second camera" or a backup camera or "camera to use when I don't want to risk the R6" 🙂and the interchangeable batteries and chargers are a huge bonus.
@@mmiYTBseems a lot of people are jumping from the 6D straight to R6! I did the same. I got 145k shutter and broken screen on my 6D but it keeps on kicking as a backup now.
