Canon EOS 6D Review - Price and Specs - Canon EOS 6D camera is one of the most awaited by loyal fans of Canon's high-end series that are not sold at affordable prices. Unlike the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, a camera is smaller and has a shape similar to the proportion of the Canon EOS 60D. Even so, this camera looks quite strong among the ranks of other Canon DSLR.
Equipped with a mini-joystick multi-controller to select the AF point, not on the navigation pad which is usually located on the back of the camera.
The menu system looks a little different from other Canon cameras, with a long list of options at the top of the screen. All the features presented on this camera with one or two additional new features.
There autofocus customization menu that makes the Canon EOS 6D to be more flexible than the Canon EOS 60D to capture sporting events. Pengembilan speed continuous image was also only 4.5 fps. In addition, there is no button M.Fn are usually located next to the shutter release to adjust focus option.
There is one interesting feature in Playback menu that allows you to create a photo book directly from the camera. This feature is an attractive option and a great project to do with the building Canon Cloud storage servers. As cloud computing you can store, retrieve, and print images whenever and wherever you want via the Internet.
'Only' have 11 AF points, but spread out well in the frame shooting, autofokusini system is very responsive and in accordance with the expectations of most professional photographers. Although the shutter is released, the Canon EOS 6D smart features can still focus the object, even in dim lighting conditions though.
Despite its HDR mode such as the EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EOS 6D can only save in JPEG format only so it does not quite appeal to photographers who are already familiar with the EOS 5D Mark III.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Wireless Wi-Fi network that is the key new features in the Canon EOS 6D. Unfortunately we still have not been able to test it myself so can not advise on the advantages and disadvantages. However, the obvious feature can help you transfer photos directly without using a cable.
Unlike the Canon EOS 650D, Canon EOS 6D equipped with 3-inch screen, 1M color, clear view but not touch screen technology brings. Even so the screen displays the image is quite good even under direct sunlight.
