omg that drum beat..
This is about the only truly useful review on the 6D. Most are very basic and boring. You cover far more in-depth information. Great video.
Daniel Batts Completely agree, the other reviews left me with the impression that the camera wasn't worth the time or money. This video showed how much of a sweet camera this actually is.
The only real complaint most people have is the small number of focus points. Considering the large number of points even much cheaper cameras have it does make you question why Canon decided to choose fewer. Unless you're doing action photos where you need to use group points to capture fast subjects, then in my opinion the number of points is more convenience than need. We only had one area to focus in the center back in the film camera days and it worked just fine.

Daniel Batts agree. He actually goes over the useful things and how they compare to other cameras
This is the video that convinced me to pick up a 6D a couple years ago. It's still my favorite camera to this day, even though I'm currently using an A7 II. Even though the Sony is technically superior on paper, it doesn't meet my needs as much as the 6D did.
I know a few photographers shooting Weddings with this camera and the results are phenomenal! Bought the same myself today and your review on it has just made me more excited! Epic about the landscapes and printing too!
Best review out there, the info you provide is exactly what needed. After viewing this review for at least 20 times, I've upgraded from 600D to 6D about 3 month ago and o-m-g mind blow. This is an amazing camera, the IQ is amazing, the ISO capabilities are incredible, low light photography gets much easier and better by far, this camera is an ISO monster compared to APS-C censors. Also, for me, the added weight feels much much better while operating the camera handheld, feels much sturdier and secure. 6D is a great camera, if you're thinking to get one - get one, you won't regret.
Thank you for the in depth review.I must have watched it a dozen times before upgrading from my t3i to the 6D.After 6 months of use in sun, clouds, rain, snow, starry nights,fog and studio this camera is a solid workhorse.
I think this is the best camera review ever i've seen from a landscape photographer's point of view !
Thanks Vinayak!
Hobbyist photographer here. "Upgraded" from the T3 to the 7D and with my purchase last night I'm onto the 6D. Thanks for doing a real world review from field tested experience. This video helped me make my decision when I watched it a few weeks ago and I really appreciate it. Fellow hiker here too; just did my first time lapse w the 7D in Yosemite this August! Looking forward to many experiences with my new L glass and 6D. Thanks again so much happy shooting!
Easily one of the best reviews on TH-cam and I can finally decide on the 6D and why I wanted one. Great reviews! Keep it coming!
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful : ) Stay tuned, more reviews coming.
Graham
Thanks for your review. I have a 7D now, and just ordered the 6D today after your review. Enjoyed your photos.
Very refreshing to hear a review after really using the product in the field for a year. Thanks!
Thank you!
this is the best 6D review on TH-cam.
Thx for this great review. I agree with all the conclusions.
Image quality is everything, and the 6D is a king in that perspective.
One of the best reviews about this awesome piece of kit. Congrats!!
You are an astonishing reviewer and photographer, it would be great if you continued to put out such high quality content. Thanks for your work!
Great review, received my 6D last week, never been happier with a new camera.
awesome! : )
Awesome review. First review I've seen that has really gone into depth about whether the 6D keeps up with all of the 5D's in the image quality department. It looks like this will be my next upgrade to my original 5D that I love so much! Thanks!
I have enjoyed my 6D for about a year now. Great review you have a new subscriber. Taught me some things about my camera, thanks.
Thank you for taking the time to put together a very balanced review of the 6D.
i like your honesty in this review man.
Thanks for your in-depth review. I purchased a 6D last year (2022) purely for photography (not video). It's fantastic, and must be one of the best used buys around in 2023 with the attractive price point, amazing sensor and robust build quality.
Since I don't do sports or fast-moving wildlife photography, because of the relative shortcomings you mention, the 6D is a perfect camera for me 🙂
Probably the best camera review we've ever seen!
My Canon 6D is a tank. I bought it new when first released. It has been my primary camera for three solid years of Architectural Documentation type photography in/around historic buildings. It is superb in all weather - wet and sub-zero conditions. Battery life is also excellent. This camera's abilities in very dark conditions is exceptional. Only now - four years later, is this camera going to get a well earned break and become the backup to a new primary 5DmkIV body. 6D makes an awesome travel camera.
Fantastic job. Made me that much more excited about this camera.
Super quality video. I like the way you captured it. Nice one.
I love this camera. The size and weight is perfect. Image quality with my L lenses is amazing!
Enjoyable real world review. I had saved up for the 6D Mk2 but instead went for this which was at half the price. It fills perfectly the gap that isn't covered by my crop sensor bodies, and when paired with my full frame glass, produces superb results. I recently rented and tried out the Mk2 and found it to be inferior in low light photography, quite an eye opener! At the current price point this would make a viable introductory camera, not just an upgrade!
I've been contemplating purchasing the 6D for my landscape photography. I found this review very helpful in making my decision. Thanks.
My 6D is one of my favorite cameras it’s help make me a living in photography as that’s my job! Nice video lot of info for someone who’s interested in buying a 6D.
This was great review. I just got my 6D and I'm still learning how to use it. Thank you very much.
OMG
The best review ever... very professional, straight to the point, amazing photography techniques, sharing of settings, subscribed to your channel right after I finished watching the review
Looking for other videos and reviews
Hey Joseph,
Thanks a ton!
Graham
I looked at Sony A7 and Nikon ahead of buying a 6D. After watching this, I’m glad I did as it’s affirmed my decision. A great video and will be downloading the book
Excellent review..got a 6dD coming my way next week. Thanks kindly...
Great review especially on the wireless feature.
Best review of the 6D I've found so far, thanks
Love my 6D ! And... amazing photos you have taken in this vid!! Amazing!
awesome review. sold my 5d mark 3 and bought a 6D and a red ring lens and im happier. 6d is so light and easy to use.
Great review, video, and most importantly shots!
Thanks Bruce!
Graham
Fantastic review. Incredible images too. I've had my 6D over a year and absolutely love it. Thanks for your review.
Thanks Nick! Glad that you could find it useful.

Finally found a very good review about the Canon EOS 6D. One that is tested through real long term use and user experience. I am currently saving up for this and hopes to get this by the 3rd quarter of this year for fashion / wedding photography after completing my studio equipment. Though the review is mostly on landscape, it is enough for me to justify the purchase.
Thank you and hope to see more videos from you guys. ( By the way, Your photo's are awesome ! ) Cheers !!
Thanks for posting this, as it helped me decide to purchase the 6D. I recently upgraded from a Rebel t4i to the Canon 6D, and I am in love. It's quite a bit heavier, but the image quality is amazing. I paired it up with a low end shoulder support (I mainly use it for video), and couldn't be happier.
Awesome! Glad you like it
Graham
Great review! Enjoyed it thoroughly. And now I know this is the full frame camera that best fits my needs. Awesome, thanks!
Such a fantastic review. thank you for putting this together. Im looking at picking up one of these used, as the prices have dropped so much with the next 6d model being out.
Great review! Love my 6D, and I love the iPad app for night photography. It's like tethering to a computer, easy to review the shot and adjust exposure without fiddling around in the dark with a headlamp. Especially great if you do any light painting. On one occasion in a mosquito infested area I was able to sit in my vehicle and shoot remotely as the sun set while reviewing each shot as I took it.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Mark,
Thanks! Glad you could find it informative.
Graham
Great review! Your expert review reminds me of my own experience with this camera. I love the 6D and I agree with your assessment of its strengths and weaknesses. Also, I love the images you shot with your camera! That is some great looking pictures! Very nice work!
Great review and also had a look at your website and downloaded your eBook. Love your approach to photography and your work. A real inspiration for me to go and get the best from my newly acquired 6D!
Hey Sean,
Thanks a ton! I'm really glad you've found it useful : )

Thanks for the review! I just picked up a Like-new 6D this week off craigslist for only $700 with a couple of extra accessories!
Very good review. Very well explained at a user level. Thanks Graham
Thanks Miguel! Glad you could find it useful.

Graham, great review. I bought one (6D) and I am thrilled with it's performance. I also just bought the Canon 16-35mm f4 and will be testing it out this coming weekend. BTW I also bought your X2 CPL - so looking forward to putting that to test this weekend too.
Thing is, I've owned both 5D III and 6D. What it comes down to is this, the 5D Mark III is for those who aren't shooting professional sports but shooting fast paced objects, moving, tracking subjects.. and need that 1DX 61-AF System but with the quality of 22.3mp for the quality. The 6D is purely a camera for taking awesome pictures and without the AA Filter that the 5D has, the 6D benefits from a tad bit sharper images although it lags in video performance with moire. Same case with D800 and D800E, one has the AA and other doesn't for sharper images. I first owned the 6D with 24-105mm than went to 5D with 24-105mm. Surprisingly, one of the first things I noticed was the noise on the 5D compared to the 6D. After owning it for months, I figured the 5D III was too much camera for me, so I went back to 6D. The image quality is just perfect, focus for me is typically manual so idc about 11-AF. I shoot a lot at night, so again, 6D wins. The biggest advantage 5D has is the capability to shoot 1080p in ML RAW because of the CF card, where as 6D is stuck at like 1800x460 or whatever is chosen.
Without doubt a good honest review and a pleasure to watch, thanks!!
Thanks Stephen!
Just bought one second hand as I expect the new R5 and R6 will be too expensive for me at first.
Your review has made me decide that this camera is plenty good enough for my needs. Thanks.
Awesome review
Great, both your review and your fantastic landscape images. Also love the "utterly useless" bit on the WiFi. Thank you very much!
Thanks Graham great review. I've had my 6D for a year also just love it. I love landscapes macro and portraits so this camera works great for me.
Sure! I'm glad you could find it useful. I agree, great camera for landscape, macro and portraits. : )
Graham
Excellent video, very useful. Thanks, Graham.
Thanks Kelly! Glad you found it useful.
Great review on the Canon 6D. This is very timely for me as I am going to dive into buying one tomorrow actually. Good job.
Awesome, glad you found it useful!
Graham
Loved this, really useful
Very helpful review thanks
Useful review, very well done. Thanks.
Outstanding review. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Great high quality video on Canon 6D with good review.
Great video, very useful and informative!
I take it that in 2014 the wifi was limited with the 6d. Now the app is awesome and it controlls the camera with live view on a smart phone or tablet. I use this for shooting humming birds, set the camera close and i can see live view with my iphone and focus and fire the shutter remotely. Pretty great if you ask me.
also, disable the gps when you're not using the camera at night. this saves the battery. dont complain about having to turn it back on every day, just get used to it.
*Great info, and useful real-world review.*
_Thank you so much for what you do!_
Excellent review...thanks for a great video.
Thanks! : )
If only all reviews were this good
Thank you very much for this great video
Great very helpful review. One thing though about WIFI. I think it's critical on out locations where makes it able to instantly check for detailed qualities of a picture. Too many times after coming back to my desk I kept noticing somewhat soft edges and other tiny things that are basically un-noticeable on 3"view finder. Instant check turned out to be a virtual life saver even if it takes few minutes to set it up. It's ALL SO WORTHY!
Super review...I liked it
Wanted a full frame. Bought this camera barely used on Ebay. Very satisfied with it. I know the 5D III has all the bells and whistles but the 6D does what I need.
24-105 f/4
70-210 f/4
50 f/1.8
amazing photos! just picked up a second hand 6d and this is helpful :)
Great Review Graham! I am what one might call an overly techy photo enthusiast and I constantly flirt with upgrading to full frame, but haven't made the jump yet. I'm toying with either a Nikon d610, the 6D shown here, or maybe waiting for a 6d mark II. Since its been almost 3 years since the 6d release, I'm wondering if its worth waiting. I shoot a sony a57, so no glass worth saving. I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree in HCI (UX) and i was really impressed with your reference to SEO and geo-tagged images! It's really refreshing to watch a review with someone who is as tech savvy as you and yet down to earth enough to appreciate.
I was on the fence about whether to buy the 6d or not. I'm mainly using it for portrait photography, so it seems perfect! I'm glad to see that you had done landscapes, because I do love to travel just to take photos. Thank you for a great review.
Hey Susan,
I'm glad you could find it useful! : )
Graham
Great video
Awesome review, I own my 6D for about a year now and think it's one of the most underrated cameras out there. But i'm not a PRO shooter so I don't blame anyone if the camera doesn't meet their requirements. With what I don't agree is that the WI-FI is useless, I use it all the time as a remote and as a backup when my mac is not with me. So I can't see why you don't like the feature.
Came to the 6D from a 7D.
It's not as great to hold and use but the image quality is just spectacular and that's why i like it.
Hate the slow Wi-Fi though have a grip on the 7D and that Wi-Fi is way superior!
Gotta love that 6d!
very useful review. thank you very much.
This was just perfect thank you so much for making it, really really helped me!!
Awesome review!
Loved this, i can really use this. Thanks
Great review
