Yessss! I got one from a guy who bought it in 2014 and never started using it. So I bought it 4 weeks ago - brandnew. 😂 I am happy battery is working fine. Thanks for this wonderful video. I am now thinking of gettin rid of all my Fuji-Gear. Love the 6D so much.
This should honestly be the go to video for anyone looking into purchasing a camera. Not the 6D, but any camera. Cannot wait to see what else you upload my man, this is stellar.
Point well made :) - Thanks for reminding me why I love my 6D, despite of its age and its shortcomings. I bought mine in 2019 when I wanted to replace my Canon APS-C camera (a 40D) with a full frame one, and the prices for 6D had decreased significantly as it was about to be discontinued at that time. And yeah, I love the colours it produces, the low light performance. To be honest, I don't care that it 'only' has 20 megapixels and we all know that it is not a machine gun when it comes to "frames per second", but the camera is so enjoyable and the results still top notch, even in 2024.
I bought a 6D second hand barely used, liked it so much I changed my other two cameras and bought a R6ii. While I love both I still reach for the 6D when things are not so fast paced. It’s a keeper
wow this hits hard , I just sold my 6D and upgraded to R8 , i am missing that feel in the photos , i miss this camera after this video even more. thankyou for the video i might pick one again.
Lovely video!!! You managed to. communicate a story about a camera without getting lost into specs, on the contrary, you shared your pictures and illustrated your speech. Congratulations!!!
thank you for this video man. I just picked up a 6D for $325. 13k shutter count, 2 batteries and the camera is in mint condition. I’m “upgrading” from a 200d, I’ve loved that camera but I’ve been wanting to jump into full frame for so long. My first lens with my “new” 6D is no other than the 50mm 1.8 :) Beautiful video, it helped me decide.
Great photo & video ! The 6D has been with me since 2013 until now. I will continue to enjoy the real photography pleasure that the 6D brings to me in the future!
You really nailed it on the head with this video in sooo many ways. This is one of the best. Videos I’ve seen in while, in terms of emotion, feel, texture and also making really solid points about the subject! I def subscribed and can’t wait to see more. Btw my 6d should arrive sometime this week, super excited to get it in my hands . Thx again
I love my 6D and will never get rid of it. It will be with me until the end of it's life, or mine! I'm nearly 70 lol. But the 6D is still going strong.
I have an r6 mkii and a 6d. The 6d keeps chugging along, but the r6 mkii had to go to canon because a firmware update broke it. Can't really tell the difference between the raw files though 😊
If you are opting for a cheap but reliable set for beginners look also into Nikon D610, full frame with much more versatility and cheaper lenses. Offers 2 slots and much better Auto Focus. I own a 6D and did many weddings with it, the lack of cross type auto focus points and 1 SD card slot are a huge problem.
(sorry for the bad english, im just 14 and from germany) For a first Video this has an awesome quality. Maybe this is normal for videos produced by photographs, but it definetly got an perfekt, filmlike look. Now my question, should I eather buy a 6D, a 5D Mark ii or a Olympus OM-D E-M1. Im looking for good image quality and some good video aspects (not for vlogs, more like animal and hobby filmmaking and maybe TikTok with a view on the table like unboxing)and mostly a budget friendly price. If your not into that business, you don’t need to answer. Keep on with the videos, I’m definitely a subscriber.❤
Amazing photos, congratulations! A great film that moves you. Watching photos from the new R Canon, something is missing... I'm starting my adventure with photography and recently bought a used 6d + 24-70 f/4l. At the time of purchase it had 4000 photos, so it's brand new anyway looks :) It was a conscious choice :) Greetings from Poland🙂
Coming from Fuji APSC (older models XT-1 and XT-20) which I will keep as long as they work, I have to say since getting a 5D Classic and Canon 6D Mk1, their FF image quality is stellar - they produce exquisite photos using affordable Canon glass.
VERY well done my friend! I just recently picked up a 6D and made a video with my thoughts and experience... and you and I are on very much the same wavelength. I Use an R6 Mark II for video, but for stills? 6D all day every day. And when this thing finally dies, you better be damn sure I'm getting another one. You've earned a sub!
I have the 6D - My first mirrorless and I love it. Challenges you to set it up just the right way for the perfect shot. But you learn and adapt to be a better photographer.
Yeah I don’t feel bad about getting one for 300$ with a lens, taking it on a family trip to Yellowstone over Christmas I think it will do just fine. Great video can’t wait for another
I've been a 6d user since around 2016. I shoot primarily nature, still life, landscape and portraiture/events with it. It is a balanced and reliable tool of expression. Learn its nuances and it will reward you with the expressiveness of film, balanced with the efficiency of digital. It's a gem. I also shoot a d800/800e which is sort of Nikon's 6d with more resolution. These cameras, but especially the 6d are artist's cameras, that can also do the work of daily grind commercial photography. I use my 6d mostly with old manual focus vintage glass, which i feel adds to the whole vibe. It adapts marvelously to old school m42 format lenses. The 6d is just a great camera - sure it has flaws, but learning how to circumvent flaws with technique just makes you a better photographer in the end. Maybe its not for everybody, but it will take great photos if you learn it's ways.
I bought mine simply because my 5DS R isn't great in low light, I do wish my 6D had a few more pixels on the sensor, but! what it does do is do everything exceptionaly well. Produces amazing images in low light and very, very rated as an astrocamera. Fantastic camera, a keeper.
Gotta agree, after shooting for two years with R5. Sadly life happened, had to sell it, bought 6D, paired it with 35L II. Enjoying every shot I take, while R5 was and is a great camera, but 6D is so simple and fun to use in comparison.
I begin in sldr world in 2009 with a new canon 5d + 24-105 F4 L IS. I bought this camera new. In 2019 i bought a 6d in perfect state for 1/4 part of the price of the 5d. I continue now with this camera + 24-105 F4 L IS + 50mm f1.8 stm. Perfect results.
They say you date the body and marry the lens, but, I just can't see myself with a 6D. If, or when, my current 6D dies I'll replace it with a 6D. You, and others, might want to have a look at Martin Castein's video "6D what sets it apart". btw: Great first vid and banger photos.
Cool images. Recognise Brixton skate park, that's my endz. Can't go wrong with a 6D. I've just repaired a jammed top wheel on one of mine. Also have the mk2 but it's not as good at shooting pictures in low light. Was thinking of upgrading to an R8, but can't justify the cost. "Stick with a 6D, till you're Sixty!…" That's my new phrase!… 😎
well worth putting a 6D screen protector if you can still find them. Almost cuts all the gloss glare from the back plastic screen and makes working outside much nicer. Also plays nice with Magic lantern and you can have your screen send you back false colour or other options to judge exposure etc at a glance. Its often overlooked also that you can still operate this camera with your phone via the canon app and put it in awkward places. Battery lasts for many days shooting - no idea how long - feels like i charge it once a month and use it daily.
Great video! And from one 25 year old "old scrooge" myself, signifies why I myself don't need shinier and better cameras. I bought an R6 and found myself selling it back to the retailer I bought it from with the justification that what I had was good enough for my type of photography. I don't shoot sports. Rarely shoot portraits. And realised that I had all these extra features for about $3400? Compared to $400 AUD for the 6D or $300 for my 70D. It's a massive difference in price, and one that I didn't think was worth it. Compared to a better lens.
I had an R8, and whilst it is an amazing camera, i felt i just didn’t use 90% of its capabilities. The AF was fantatic, tracking etc. Video specs i just never used, once. I think the camera was just too much for me , personally. I got some great shots but putting it on single point centre AF and recomposing, as i have always done got me thinking i just didn’t need it for my style of photography! Maybe if you’re a working pro then it makes everything easier and the flow, faster. I did however, keep my 6D; the files still look great!
If you are opting for a cheap but reliable set for beginners look also into Nikon D610, full frame with much more versatility and cheaper lenses. Offers 2 slots and much better Auto Focus. I own a 6D and did many weddings with it, the lack of cross type auto focus points and 1 SD card slot are a huge problem. If you are looking for Canon specifically 5D mark III might be a great choice. But be aware that Canon is like iPhone of the photography world.
Also I would like to point out that the colors are scream worthy, my new R6markII can only dream of having such color and image quality. IN ALL HONESTY IF IT ONLYYYYY HAD ONE MORE SLOT and 1 MORE Cross type AF point I would never have changed this camera.
I don't know why I watched this video. I already own two 6D bodies and was briefly thinking about getting a third one today. Carrying two 6D's is perfectly fine. One wide and one standard or tele. But who could carry three? I have left the 6D behind, I think, three times already. First, there was an RP. Sold. Then another RP and R. Also sold. This year, I got a bunch of Olympus gear, which is very good and does so many more things than the 6D. But how come my last two lens purchases were EF lenses? The 6D seems to not only push its way into every assignment, but I check the CR2 files first after importing all the SD cards. The 6D works it way into my hands at almost every opportunity, even though I have very capable MILCs with great lenses. It must be a relationship thing. I just cannot let go! One glance through the OVF, and I am hooked again.
Are you thinking about getting this camera?
Absolutely.😍
Got mine when it first came out.
@@jameshenderson5385 wow. How have you kept it running.

Actually I'm getting one tonight with a shuttercount of only 19697 clicks! It's going to be my first full frame camera as an upgrade for my 60D.
This should honestly be the go to video for anyone looking into purchasing a camera. Not the 6D, but any camera.

Thanks for a great video. I got my 6D 2nd hand in 2020, and no desire to replace it.
This video gave me all the feels and a reminder why I love my 6D too. Job well done!
Thanks man
I’m here because I have a 6D, and I’m trying to justify why I DONT need a new camera 😉. I love my 6D.
Same! Ahah
I have had mine for about 2 weeks now and I’m already loving it
Stunning images you have a New subscriber!
Thanks
Thank you, I am indeed thinking about buying one of these as my first DSLR once I've saved up enough, lovely pictures and style.
Absolutely love this video, buddy. So nicely paced, warm and personal. Subscribed, and can't wait for the whole library.
Gorgeous photographs!

Nice vid! Lenses? Next video is about the lenses you pair with the 6D.
Great work I just subscribed. I’m a Sony shooter but I think I’m going to buy this for art because of your video.
Thank You!
Yeah I don’t feel bad about getting one for 300$ with a lens, taking it on a family trip to Yellowstone over Christmas I think it will do just fine. Great video can’t wait for another
Absolutely, stick to that centre focus point when capturing movement.

I saw this and went out and found one. Best camera I've used. Built like a tank, and cheap enough so I don't have to be precious about it.

Thanks, I have seen the video and I definitely recommend it!!
Getting one soon. Been using a borrowed one and decided it’s worth the $400 (SO CHEAP) for this “old technology” that takes such amazing photos.
Cool images. Recognise Brixton skate park, that's my endz. Can't go wrong with a 6D. I've just repaired a jammed top wheel on one of mine.

Ok so I just got the camera I’m still learning how to get the focus right in studio & outside
To be honest in anything but perfect light I only use the centre focus point. Then focus and recompose.
I would also learn to tell the difference between out of focus and blurred from camera shake due to too slower a shutter.
OK, fine...putting down the Leica and dusting off the old 6D. Well done.
My mission is complete.

What is it specifically that you don’t like about you photos. Maybe I can help.
