+bash5995 I can't reply to your comments, I think you are not checking the box that allows replies :(. But I addressed your earlier comment in the beginning of the new Mishmash that just went up - give it a watch Photo Mish Mash Ep12- Tripodless
You know, somehow I do manage to hit that button and screw my setting up just walking around with it attached to a blackrapid strap. I will go to shoot and aperture or iso or something else will be all jacked up.. I ended up disabling it. The wheel command button is so easy to use, its only missed if doing focus pulls..
For video : 70D
For images: 6D
That's all...
simple lol
No te imaginas cuan buena es la 6D en vídeo, mucho mejor que en foto.
+merasanam 6D if you have the budget for those lenses...
+7mo Arte. Contar para Vivirlo. I think is the same.
+ Mi música Mi Vida No es el mismo 6D está lleno marco y cultivos 70D 's, JAMA será igual al tamaño del sensor.
I love my 70D. Just love it. Also, thanks for all these wonderful videos you make. Just wanted to let you know we appreciate your opinion and your hard work.
Thanks Doc - I appreciate that comment!
So basically, if you're into film making, go with the 70D? If you're into photo's go with the 6D?
JKPOrigins no the 6D is only good for showing pretty colours in a photo, if those pretty colours move at all you’ve missed the shot waiting for the 6D to find the focus according to video. Also if there is a focus issue with 6D you can’t adjust it as you can with the 70D in the settings. One stop is nothing in low light when you need to shoot at 15000 iso. 6D is pretty much useless over the 70D unless it’s your first camera to get pretty colours or you keep it on a tripod.
Awesome comparison Toby! I loved your 70D videos, they made me buy it... and i couldn't be happier! Here some considerations... I used both cameras, I bought a 70D in first place because of the slightly cheaper price and because i already had some ef-s glass so i didnt want to throw that away with a 6D, but actually got a 6D borrowed from a friend. I gotta admit that the 6D has a cool image quality, the full frame body is pretty good for landscapes, but if you want my opinion the best camera is the 70D. It is faster, i missed the screen soooooo much when using the 6D, it has probably the smartest autofocus i've ever seen. The AF issue on the 70D is not that deal for me, i actually made some tests but seriously, nothing to really care about for me. The low light performance of the 6D is ofc better, but the 70D has probably the best crop sensor, noise reduction is not top notch but you have some awesome raws you can process later. The lens factor is to consider as well. I'm an indie videomaker and i love to capture stills... as a consequence i needed that versatily of the body, and all the glass i needed for a cheap price. Consclusions:
70D: videomaking, walkaround, sports, wildlife and a better general purpose camera as well.
6D: landscape, stills only, prepared tripod shots and portraits.
Nice writeup!
:) a comparison i have never actually seen and that i'd love to see in a video is olympus OMD-EM1 vs 70D. i might get a mirrorless just to quickly snap some pics and it would be cool to compare so different cameras just to see where they differenciate :)
I want all the features of the 70d but with a full framed sensor!!!
same with me it sucks
Kai Maki the 6D mark II will be quite good
6d does not have enough focus points and only the center point is cross-type. The 70d has 19 all cross-type AF points and better autofocus in low light. I own both. If I could only have one it would be the 70d.
Donna A, do you have any L lenses on your 70D? I’d like to know only because I have the same exact camera and am considering buying a 24-70 2.8 and a 79-209 2.8. I would like to know your answer please please
i realize I am kind of off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?
6d for portraits and weddings ....70d a great sports camera ..i have both ..and my 70 d is my back up camera for weddings
Thanks so much for the review. I just bought the 70D and have been very happy with it, but several friends keep telling me about how great the 6D is. For me, the 70D fits in better with my needs of video and photos, and also into my budget. The focusing for video is amazing. You can get pull focus just by touching the screen.
Hello and thank you for all your videos. As always to the point and very enjoyable. Do you have a "best budget lens guide for canon full frame" video?
I just ordered a 6D , moving from Sony a6000 I have only a canon 50f1.8 and an old canon 24-85 f3.5-4.5. I will have to slowly grow my Canon lens and would love to hear your suggestion. Thank you and keep those videos coming.
This a very nice coincidence 😊 I just sold my xe 1 and was looking to buy a new camera, so I was in the canon store comparing these 2 cameras side by side and I came to a similar conclusion, but man did I fall in love with the full frame sensor smooth performance in high ISO .
Give me the 6D sensor in the 70D and I am sold 😁
I 100% agree!
I own the 6D. It's the king of lowlight from canon. I love it since I do most of my shooting in low light settings. I think the only thing you didn't mention was the sensitivity of the autofocus in the dark, which I don't think most people worry about but makes a difference. The 6D goes to -3 EV besting even the 5Dmark 3 at -2EV (center focus point ) and the 70D center focus point is rated at -.5EV. For those looking for lowlight performance the 6D is it :)
I enjoy your reviews! Keep them coming :)
+Moni Ker Thank you for mentioning this!
very true!
How is it compared to D610. In Canada I am looking for 6D vs D610?
I have a Canon 6D. There's a lot to both love, and also hate.
The construction is rather flimsy. But it's small and light weight. It has very few autofocus points.
The color is very pleasing and natural. It's inexpensive for a full frame camera. The L series lenses, which are supremely good, are also frightfully expensive. I got it mostly just because it's my first full frame camera.
But I also have a supreme quality Nikon DX format camera.
I bought a 70D n am really happy that I went that way! Dual pixel cmos is fantastic and amazing iso performance, all my lenses are prime and of f1.4 and 2.8!
stills in low light = 6D
video and general all round camera = 70D
that's all there really is to say..
great video as always toby ;)
Brian Ventura I do think you summed it up nicely :) Thanks!
I was thinking of buying 5DM3 but I really really love the autofocus dual pixel on the 70D's I just can't make a final decision. If only 5DM3 has 70d's features. I'm not too sure how quiet the lens are for 5D's. Any tips?
I have both of these cameras, and find they are quite a nice combination (usage Pending) 6d for stills and static video work, and 70d for primarily video and a back up body.
Thanks since I am considering a 70D. I really didn't consider the 6D but very happy you compared the two, You affirmed my decision. BTW - to those who say you are comparing apples and oranges, I would say yes, it isn't a straight comparison, but the difference between crop and full sensors isn't as obvious as the difference between an apple and an orange.
I had a 6D for 2 yrs., sold it bought a 5D III, sold it went back to the 6D & recently purchased a 70D for the crop aspect to go along with my Tammy 150-600:) 5D was a nice camera, but the weight w/grip was too much for me & the pics were not any better than I got with the 6D! Sig 35 art, tam 24-70 vc & tam 70-200 vc:)
I own both, my 70D is my backup camera
if i'm using a 50mm 1.8 STM lens with the Canon 6D full frame, does it still work like a full frame? or must i use a full frame lens? thank you
The 50mm f/1.8 STM lens is a full frame lens.
I owe70D. I was considering 70D and 6D to buy some time. I bought 70D for focusing, filming, articulating screen and latest technology. The size of the frame DOES NOT matter comparing those two. Anyway, it is no point in upgrading to full frame in my case as 70D covers all my demands .
should i buy the 70d or the 5d classic with 17-40 USM L =?
Great review. Thank you so much. I have the 70D. After watching this video I'm so glad that I invested in this model. I feel that it's a good all around camera for any situation.
From iso.org: "Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO.
"It's a word 'iso', not initials 'I-S-O'. Think isometric or isosceles.
Great video. I own both 6D and 70D. The both have their uses and shine when used correctly. I think you hit on all the important parts within a suitable timeframe (just under 13 minutes). Earned a subscription from me!
I did the same: 70D and 6Dii
Thanks for this nice overview. I am completely satisfied with my 6D. Here in Germany the camera drops in price weekly, currently are prices from 1450-1500€ realistic. The only thing is the missing continuous autofocus during video mode.
Thanks for this vid Toby! These are the two cameras I'm considering (the 6D and 70D)! I had an idea for a book, and a publisher agreed to publish. Now I need to shoot the pics (my old point & shot just doesn't cut it.) So I really don't need video, GPS, WIFI...just clarity and increased pixels for printing my photos in a book. The photos are going to be things to do on vacation - meaning pics of museums, water activities, inside of shops, street scenes, landscapes, etc. And cost is very much a consideration. So, would I be satisfied with the less expensive 70D? I'm concerned about the full frame when shooting a skyline pic for instance. Also, I've found an import 6D. Much less expensive. Should I consider this? Any comment would help! Thanks!
Thanks, this is an excellent comparison. Currently (as of May 2015) there's a ~$400 price difference between the 6D and 70D. I don't think I'd miss the higher shutter speed of the 70D, but the articulating touch screen and better focusing system would be a loss. But my biggest concern is low light, and the 6D is very good (even compared with 5D MKII).
I'm glad that I waited for the 6D mark ii because I like the dual pixel auto-focus.
I realize my comment is late, but I also just bought a 6Dii with three EF lenses that I can still share with my 70D. I love 'em both!!
The 6D MKii is about to come out, I'm pretty sure they'll have caught up on the touch screen.
Hi Toby,
Very informative review. Thanks !
I have a question for you.
My 70D has the central focus point issue.
I am looking for a nes lens. I want it as sharp as possible even though I got this issue and it is really a bugger for me. I am leaning toward the 40mm f/2.8 IS STV or 50mm f/1.4.
Having this issue, which one will give me the best sharpness all open?
The 1/180 sync limit is because it's full frame or so I was told by a Canon rep... Don't know what's up with the shutter speed limit of 1/4000 though. But as a Fashion/glam shooter the 6D quality is what I need since I'm not shooting sports and such.
I've owned both for several years. Use the 70d way more. Much more versatile. Love it. Thinking of selling my 6d.
Great review! I just got my 6D today and i'm very excited to start using it. As you said i'm not really into fast shooting, sports etc. Im more into landscapes, portraits and image quality is very important to me, getting into the full frame field is something i was dreaming of long time ago. Thanks!
I really appreciate the review. I've been kicking myself for jumping on the 70D for my first DSLR instead of going full frame but this comparison makes me feel like I'm in better shape than I thought I was. The articulating LCD is pretty nice.
Did you end up eventually going to full frame? I kept my 70D because I have a great selection of lenses, but recently bought a 6Dii and three EF lenses that I can still share with my 70D.
I had 8-16mm on my canon 7D but moving to Sony A7. What lens should i get if i want that wide? Is 14mm enough on fullframe ?
Hello!
Great job!
can you help me? My first camera is 5dmarkIII and I need a second camera.
I shoot videos in low light (wedding videographer) and I want my second camera to match with my first camera. What is your recomandation betwen 6d and 70d?
My second camera I will use it on tripode, slider, glide or minicrane.
Sorry about my bad english :)
Hello Sir,
My name is Basim. I have watching and following all the videos you have been posting on youtube. I want you please help me and give me your expert advice on which camera should I buy. This will be my first camera ever and I want to get the best bang for the buck because I am poor guy and certainly cannot experiment with things. it will be like my first and last purchase.
The main purpose for my camera is portraiture. I want to get the exteme creamy bokeh and shallow depth of field. My choice would have been very easy if I wouldnt have seen tony northups video that you have to multiply aperture with crop factor.
My heart is going for Sony a6300 with 50mm f1.8 lens. Which is a crop sensor and I am afraid of not getting that creamy bokeh. I have fallen in love with this camera It is light small compact. Have almost everything (except touchscreen and FF sensor) and the main drawback is expensive and minimun choice of lens.
Or
Canon 6d body and buy 85mm f1.4 sigma ex dg lens. I know it will produce the image quality i want. But it doesnt have 4k and very old camera too few autofocus points. Main advantage is lens are cheap and easy to get which one should I buy. Thankyou
I am having huge af issues with my 70D and my sigma 70-200 Apo 1: 2.8 HG usm. The color grain is horrid in comparrison at exact settings than my 60D and same lens. I keep thinking Ill figure out the magic formula and compensation to no avail. HELP!
Which one should i buy? Canon 80D, 6D or Sony a6300? I want it mostly for video production. Is 4k really worth it? Can someone point out why would a Canon (80D or 6D) be better than a Sony a6300?. Thanks a lot :)
Great videos on the Canon 70D. Thank you. I'm subscribed.
The center focus point of the 6D is só good.
Awesome video as always.
I owned a 6D, and I got my new 70D about a month.
70D really embarrassed 6D.
Better image quality really don’t mean better picture.
70D‘s AF and FPS are key to have better moment.
6D only beats 70D when it comes to landscape.
Shooting with 70D is MORE COMFORTABLE when shooting anything that moves.
6D VS 70D is same as D600 VS D7100.
I Recommend getting a 70D or D7100，and use the money on lens.
And Full Frame lens does have better quality wide open on 70D then 6D.
Hi Toby just watched your comparison between crop and full frame camera, now i have question regarding upgrade. I have a Canon 70d and i love this camera but somehow I realize I wanna upgrade my camera on a full frame sensor and i have a friend as me to trade his 5d mark2 into my canon 70d. Do you think is a wise idea to trade in? hope you could help me thanks a lot!!
Great Video! I switched from a T4i to a 6D a few months ago. Every point Toby made is spot on IMO. I do mostly Landscape Photos along with Portraits. The 6D is outstanding in low light. My t4i was way faster in FPS and had the Cross Type Focus Points, but that hasn't hindered my Shots. I missed the Vari-Angle Screen of the T4i, and was hoping the Wi-Fi would be a bit more user friendly. As Toby mentioned, DSLR Controller is much better than EOS App. DSLR Controller is worth the $8.00 I paid for it. I bought a Cable because of connectivity issues of Wi-Fi. (Just a bit of a pain.)The Images with my Tamron SP 90mm Macro, and 24-105mm L, and "Nifty 50mm" are what I was hoping for in an upgrade to a Full Frame Sensor. I got my Camera for just under $1600.00 on Amazon (Body Only). It was not Gray Market.
Thanks Jim!
IMHO, if you go with a crop sensor, you should definitely consider MFT cameras. They are way lighter. And the technology is moving in that direction as well.
Where is Christina? I miss when you two disagree about almost everything :) just kidding, I am married so I can relate. I love your videos.
Hey Toby, been watching all your videos for a while now and was wondering if I could ask for some help because i'm just a beginner. I'm going on vacation here shortly to cabo and purchased a Nikon D3300 for it. Here is a link to the place that I am going to and basically I want to take photos similar to this.
Capella Pedregal- Deluxe Ocean view king- European plan Oct 25 2013.
Would you PLEASE recommend a Nikon lense for me to buy under $400 that will give me the best shots and clarity. I would appreciate it sooo much!
Hey Toby, I'm looking to invest in one of these cameras. I'm a headshot photographer (both inside and outside of the studio), shoot concerts, editorial work, but I also shoot video occasionally. I have the t3i currently and I frequently use the articulating lens, though I'm drawn to the 6D for the image quality. Which do you think I should invest in? P.S. With either camera I'm looking to get either the 50mm 1.4 or the 40mm 2.8
HI...nice comparison...want to update my body..and want to buy lenses 100-400 II or Sigma 150-600 ..which body and lenses should i buy ...want to do birding, wild life and general photos
Then why do most wildlife shooters for Nat. Geo shoot a cropped sensor Nikon D500 or Canon 7D? Professional shooters would differ with your conclusion. Why is "FF" such a joke next to medium format film? If you want super high-quality landscape images, medium format film still kills it.
I have the 70d and have been wanting to do more landscape so was considering a 24 or 28mm lens (as asked in another of your videos). But now I'm thinking of getting the 6d for the full frame. My main long lenses (70-200 L and 70-300 L) and my primes can be used on 6d but would need a 24-105 kit lens too.
Would that be a better option than investing in more lenses for my 70d?
Hello,
My name is Jett, i'm looking to buy a new camera. When i was younger i got into photography, i kinda just jumped into it without any research. I bought a Nikon D3000 without knowing anything.
A few years later after being stuck with that camera, I'm looking to buy a new one. The class I'm taking prefers canons, and from what i can tell I would like to buy a canon too.
I'm planning to take photography seriously. I'm going into college and plan to do something with photography. I plan to do a lot of traveling, and Ive been doing research and there are so so many choices I'm kinda overwhelmed. I want a camera thats good for traveling, and taking pictures of mountains and landscapes, i also want the camera to be good at capturing like not necessarily "sports" but you know, like maybe pictures of my travel companion running through a field or splashing around in the ocean, a geyser exploding, the campfire on a beach, or my dog chasing after a stick.
I like the thought of having GPS and wifi connect ability but its not necessarily a requirement.
Ive read that full frame sensor cameras are great for things like landscape photography but idk where it would lack? Or like if you can get just a outstanding landscape pictures with a crop sensor?
I also would like the camera to have the video recording option. Though I will mainly use the camera for photography.
Ive been looking at the Canon 6d and 70d and also the EOS 5D Mark iii.
The 5d is very expensive and idk if id need that or if i could accomplish what i want to accomplish on the 70d or 6d.
I have just upgraded my lens for the T3i with a Sigma 17-55mm but I would like to know if I would get more quality on low light upgrading to 6D? not sure if I still upgrading my lenses or the body camera Thanks!
I put it by priority: 70D- video/photo, 6D- photo/video. Good to have both (identical function layout inside out). Only problem remaining - both have this pesky moire problem. But if you can live with that - you're King of the top castle.
I use 5D Mark-3 from the times it was just issued .. i love my camera BUT i would love to have something that has more accurate FOCUS when shooting a video! the 70D seems just perfect for that - tracking the objects easily. but what is bothering me a littile bit is Cropped sensor.. i hope i will not see a lot of a difference in video quality? can anyone share your experiense with 70D ? cause i'm about to buy one.
i had a canon 550d with a 18-55 and 50mm 1.8 lens. I had used it almost for 5 years. unfortunately my house got burgled and those guys took away my entire camera bag. Now i am researching to upgrade and am seriously considering a full frame canon. I have shortlisted canon 6D with 24-70 f4 lens. 5d mark 3 is out of my budget. I found a lot of constraints in the last 1 year or so with my 550D with respect to field of view maybe the lens could have been upgraded. do you think this will help me with landscape as well as portrait photography than investing in 70D plus a lens other thank kit lens. i also in the long term will invest in a prime L lens. For sure will insure all my camera equipment this time.
Hi there Toby! I got a question about 70D. Does it have all manual option in video mode? I am asking cause thats one of the thing I like with full frame ( I have a 6D). I can get my own balance between ISO, Shutterspeed adn aparteure. Now can I get that as well with 70D or is it all automatic? An important issue to mention when comparing video capability?
can u tell me what flash to buy for Canon 70D,im looking for nissin di600 its okay? or which ?
thank you
I am looking at the 70d for birding photography because of the crop factor compared to the full frame 6d. I plan on running the 400mm 5.6 and the 1.4x extender. In your opinion would this be a good setup? Thanks.
Well by reading the comments and your advice taken, I think I have made once again a mistake in my purchase. I own the 70d already and coming from a 1000d it feels like driving a really nice limousine, but alas the full frame is what I have always wanted to own. Though there is around 700US$ price difference in the price here in Denmark where I live and it is not almost the same price as the 70d. Well anyhow at least I have nice L lenses to go with it but still maybe should have saved up for a full frame.... :(
well...all i can say is i have over 7 different canon cameras from the XT to the 6D ...but the canon 70D kicked me in the nuts ..under 10 000 pics on it and the sensor has burn spots ..some pixels are burnt on the pics ..9 pixels ..it pisses me off ..i will be sending it in to get fixed because its only 18 months old ..but i am not a happy camper ..i will be using 6D ...i looked at the 6D mark 2 and cant for the life of me understand why they made this camera at all ..no dual slot ..i just dont get t...and lower pic quality in low light compared to the old 6D...whats your take on the new 6D mark 2?
Thank you for your great review. You are probably the most FAIR assessor of both cameras. Most everyone else is biased based on their favorites- and certainly, when you get the next latest and the greatest, reviewers tend to poop on the less favored and less current. Would you say these are 2 totally different animals altogether. It makes sense that a true professional camera won't have that dinky cheezo flash attached to the 70d that sucks anyway.
Thank for yr video But I still don't know which is good for me. I do have 6D but a bit disappointed about it has no touch screen and slower than 70D. Maybe I have to buy both of them thanks
I hope I didn't offend you Toby, I enjoy all of your videos, they are very informative.
Hi I'm deciding between the Canon 6D and the 70D. I want to do a lot of landscapes so I'm going more towards the 6D. But am I going to have a really hard time with fast moving object like race cars and say water skiing?
If you want to shoot speed yes.. I have both..i shoot weddings N potraits ( 70% w 6D and 30% w 70d) in image quality the 6d hands downs is the winner.. But.. Toys and speed of 70d makes it nice too.. Think ur purposes..
You sum it up nicely Mike - Thanks!
I only need 1 good focus point right in the middle like a film camera. I hate touch screen anything. A pivoting screen can be useful. If you need that fast of a shutter, why not shoot video? The C sensor will have smaller sharper pixels (assuming the same number as is with these 2 cameras) and the full sensor is much better at low light with the larger pixels. Pick your poison as they say. I love the low light ability of the 6D and it works with my high end film lenses.
Hi everyone what do you advise me to take?
( canon 70d with 24-105m ) or ( canon 70d with 18-135 and 50mm 1.4 ) ?
Nice review,,,,,which camera is good for a Wedding considering you would shoot 50% photos and 50% videos ?
70D provides that amazing video autofocus and 6D provides better low light quality. If you are ok shooting video manual focus 6D. If you really want the easy focus of the 70D- go with the. . 70D :)
CameraRec Toby
Thanks. I love to buy the 70D but with all this focus problems, i think i'll save up my money for the 6D...
I do want to go full frame I'd go for the 5D if it wasn't such a huge price jump from the 6D. What do you expect from the forthcoming 6DM2?
thank you for this comparison, it was very helpful. Also your sweater looks SO DAMN COZY.
how much of the low light from the 6d over the low light lens? And how does 70D vs D750? What's the name of external flash for $100?
I have both and I find the 6D is better for video. I just find the video looks better in raw then the 70D and is also better then my 5D but that’s my opinion but if you want the best in video from a canon you go for a 1DC they are about $15k new or about $7k second hand.
The canon 6D has a flip-out screen; that is, if you wirelessly mount your smartphone to the hotshoe.
Finally a proper comparison, and someone that sees a full frame has better image quality, the same way a medium format hasleblad portrait will be sharper with more depth over 5d, bigger sensor always means better sharpness, it's freaking physics
Another sound video Toby. I sense you wanted to give nod to the 70D. I understand the full frame set with the dollars invested are a bit loathe to fully appreciate the lessor sensor. Your balance on the subject is much appreciated.
Thanks Mike - -It is easy to appreciate the sensor of the 70D, it really performs well.
you are from the best photo man ,direct massage ,good information,good compere .
when I want to buy any thing almost i search abut it in your tube first than go to cam store :-) to buy it .
good job
what r d lenses available for 70 d ?? and which cannon camera is best for video and photo in crop sensor not in full frame??
5d classic with 17-40mm USM L or 750d with 200 dollar lens? which camera is the best for stills?
I know you said it was hard to get pics with the 6D sometimes without the articulating screen...but wouln't the wifi help by seeing the lcd screen on say your iPhone....?
Depends on how many hands you have. Also that would in any case be a hassle.
6d loving it
I think the 70D for being a crop sensor camera it is a monster all around very good review I was about to make the mistake in returning the 70D for the 6D I need that speed and all I rather sacrifice a bit better image quality and get that special moment nice and beside I think if you add a great L lens on the 70D it will give great imagines
Yes - I almost thought about adding a note on the end of the video that says - spend the savings on the 70D on a nice prime lens or L lens and you can have excellent quality and performance.
I don't understand why Canon hasn't made a full frame with an articulating screen. That is crucial for anything when you're using the camera.
Right?! That's one of the only reasons i went with the 70D over anything else in my budget. Yes its crop sensor, but every time I go out to shoot I find myself using the articulating screen
I have 70D I think its good enough for me and I'm not trading in to get a 6D, thanks for the review.You did a great job!
I have the 70D and I think you are right, it is great all around-- and I really like it for videos. One of my family members has the 6D and does a lot of macro photography and I think it is fantastic for this.
With 18-135 is STM is this a f/4? And what's the advantage it has over 24-105 is f4l
i can't decide which to get... i want to do mainly portraits and would like to get into concert photography so the 6d would be the best for those but i also want something that would be good for making videos and the occasional sports shots
Thank you for this! I just subscribe. Looking forward for more informational videos

Hi Toby, I have a question. Currently I owe the Canon t5i and have been taking plenty of portraits, mostly headshots and theatre shots. Because of the level of noise in the second category, I've been considering jumping into the Canon 6D, but I'm not 100% sure if it would be a good idea yet. Would you be able to give me any suggestions on this matter?
Hi Toby,
I have a Canon G11 a point and shoot Camera.
And Now I am thinking of upgrading and buying my first DSLR.
I am a Hobbyist Photographer. I use the camera mostly while travelling or at any events. I mostly use it for Clicking Images and not much for videos.
I have shortlisted the following DSLRs Canon 70D /Nikon D7100/ /Sony A7/Olympus OMD EM1
My budget is around $1500-$1800(with Lens).
Kindly suggest me which one to buy.
Thanks!!!
I have to say the OMD Em1 is very tempting - lots of great quality in that small package. Sony a7 is also very nifty but you have to deal with the shifting sands of sony and a much smaller ecosystem. D7100 and 70D are very good but bigger and heavier with bigger lenses.
Very nice! Price is the biggest difference here.
I like to take pictures of airshows. and a lot of nature shots so I like to know what's better than saying it the 70D or the 6D camera thank you
Hello! Thanks for this brilliant summary. Can I throw you a slight curve ball...I would like to buy a camera that has the video capability of the 70d but not compromise on the image quality offered by the 6d's full-frame sensor. Can you possibly advise? Many thanks
+Nick Franks Nope - nothing offers that larger sensor and easy touchscreen and dual pixel except the Canon c100. that's 2,999 though - not cheap. Full frame is not all that. Some of the newer crop sensors are excellent.
+PhotoRec Thank you! So, for a relative beginner it's more advisable than, say, a Sony A7S system? Thought learning, I'm wanting to produce films and stills and for the system I buy to be an investment into the next 10 years. Appreciate your time...I'll be sure to share your channel. N
You would think that camera manufacturers would make all the cameras with the Vari-angle touch screens for now on. I also love my 70D.
The counter argument is pro bodies really need to be built tough and an articulated screen could get knocked off - I do think we will see a full frame with articulated screen from Canon or Nikon soon but it will be more 6D like and less of the high end pro.
guys please tell me ifcanon 6D shoots also full frame video or only photo? I heard that canon 5D II shoots photo ful frame, but video cropped. Is that true? and is that relevant with 6D, or 6D shoots both photo and video full frame? Thank you realy much, I realy need to know
Awesome review as always! One question. I'm currently using a Canon t5i, but recently I start shooting weddings and portraits so i'm thinking about upgrading it to a full frame camera like 6d. Would you recommend upgrading the camera or buy a nice lens such as 24-70,etc? I have a 50mm f1.4, and a 18-135 kit lens. Thank you!
Eric C I do like the idea of moving up to the 6D for you. In the lower light situations that you often encounter at weddings, receptions especially they full frame low light performance of the 6D will be very welcome. Continue to use your 50mm f/1.4 and pick up the Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 (fantastic lens for the money)
"Do-hicker" - word of the day. :-)
This camera is definitely worth it!! I'm a producer who never shot a video until I brought the Canon 70d. I used a Canon 50mm 1.2 and 18-135mm stock lens for the video shoot. My first shoot, my first time using a DSLR Camera, and my first time editing. All natural lighting. Check it out and let me know what y'all think! th-cam.com/video/CmkrYfObw5A/w-d-xo.html
Interesting video. The lighting range looked huge and extremely challenging. Think you need to apply compensation: make indoor shots much lighter as they were mostly dark and underexposed, conversely some outdoor shots were too bright and over-exposed. What the best ways to do that is I am not sure. But good luck with your video work. Sure you will get there in the end, Keep on going!
Toby - Just a comment: I'm leaning towards a 6D but heard that my Canon AF 70-200 mm lens will now not be as long as it used to with my cropped-sensor camera, it will be a true 70-200 mm. This feels like a loss to me as I do a lot of photography in stadiums or football fields where the zoom is essential. So still wondering whether to go with a 70D or a 6D. Question: How does the 7D (not 70D) compare to the 6D? Thanks in advance.
+danjama 87 Thank you for your response!
Hi, many thanks for your reviews, I am form pune India, I am a photography lover, I am justs clicks for family trips and functions. only..i have canon 700D and canon-50 mm. also a zoom range Tamron 70-300 SP-VC...But so many time i feel limitations when i am going for Wide angle.. can u please suggest mi a wide angle lens for my indor and outdoor clicks...
+Kamaal Abraham The newest Tokina Ef-s 11-16/2,8 worked well with my previous 600D and 70D. Very wide without too much distortion and pin sharp photos!
Better Detail ? ... should the Smaller APS - C Sensor Produce more detail because there - is more Pixel packed in the Smaller Sensor (Pixel Density) .... which is kinda equivalent to a 40 Megapixel Fullframe ?
No it doesn't work that way. In some cases you get closer via the crop factor but when shooting equivalent focal lengths and you pixel peep, the full frame offers better detail.
