Pros: excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Lightweight/Portable, easy to use
Cons: Missing features/settings, Complicated controls/menu
Quality, workable product. Functions well. Excellent focusing in low light (on subject NOT moving); very good ergonomics and handling; great digital processor. However, still no tethered shooting with Aperture or Lightroom. That's a head scratcher.

Pros: quiet, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, full-frame
Much has been written editorially and by end-users about the Canon 6D, so I will highlight only items which are most relevant to my experience thus far.
Canon 6D lay-out - As a creature of habit, initially I was a bit dismayed with the feature lay-out of the Canon 6D. This is in comparison to my Canon 50D which I have owned for several years. After a couple of sessions, I have come to really enjoy the well thought out lay-out of this camera. First, the "Off/On" switch is located top left below the Mode Dial. Second, the Mode Dial has a lock button to prevent inadvertent changes. Third, I really like how the Quick Control & Multi-controller dials have evolved into a single dial. Fourth, the Back Focus button (AF-ON) is located in a very accessible spot - on the 50D, I constantly fumble to locate it without looking. Finally, I also like the location of the Live View access button - much more intuitive than the 50D.
After several months of field use, I have completely bought into the intuitive lay-out of the 6D. Besides to usual AF/Drive/ISO/Metering buttons on the top right of the camera, the consolidation of the Quick Control dial, the Multi-controller & Set button is well thought out, easy-to-access and intuitive. I like this set-up much better than the separate joy-stick/multi-controller found on my 50D. To access the shooting functions, all I have to do is push the "Q" button and navigate with the Quick Control/Multi-controller/Set button. Easy peazy.
Full Frame - My other DSLR is a Canon 50D. This camera uses what is commonly referred to as a "crop sensor". When I first got the 50D, I was thrown off by the change in perspective compared to my Canon SLR film camera. That said, I am so happy to be shooting Full Frame again! I won't get into all of the technical reasons why Full Frame over APS-C/Crop Sensor except to say, I am thrilled with the light gathering capability of the 6D. I can shoot at lower iso's thus reducing any image noise potential. 6D - 20.2mp/50D - 15.1mp. Fyi, my primary lens are: 24-70mm f/2.8L USM & 70-200mm f/4.0L IS USM.
Shutter - Even in standard mode, the shutter on the Canon 6D is noticeably quiet.
Editorials and end-users have commented on continuous shooting speed. I'll just say 4.5fps will not set the world on fire by today's standards. It is plenty fast so long as I am not shooting action sports/scenes. My 50D shoots @ 6.3fps which will be well suited for action shots.
Continuous shooting mode - I have started to shoot in continuous mode especially when bracketing my shots. Note: I also shoot in RAW. I haven't really noticed any significant buffer lag while shooting in continuous mode. Generally, I will shoot in bursts of three shots, pause, and shoot in another burst. 4.5 fps seems to meet my needs well.
AF Points - I generally use center auto focus point. Having a gazillion auto focus points is not a priority nor a requirement for my needs.
Ai Servo - When I am not using manual focus, I am using Ai Servo. Works very well as expected especially with continuous shooting mode.
Image noise - Although, I haven't really pushed the camera to high ISO range, shots in standard ISO range from 100 to 800 have exhibited no noise to speak of.
Picture Styles - I really like this Canon feature. In a nutshell, you can select a Picture Style like Standard, Neutral, Faithful, Landscape, Portrait & Monochrome. The camera processor will render the image based on the style selected. In addition, when you use Canon's Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, you can additional styles to DPP's library.
Remote - On tripod shots, I use a Canon RS-80N3 wired shutter remote. You may ask why I wouldn't use the wireless remote feature... well, the wireless remote sensor is located on the front of the camera on the camera grip. This means the wireless remote needs to be in line of sight with sensor to operate reliably. This is fine if you are taking a picture of yourself or yourself in a group.
Media card - The 6D uses an SD card. And there is only one slot. Some cameras now have multiple slots and can use both Compact Flash & SD. This is not a priority nor a requirement for my shooting needs.
Battery - Since I am not using the GPS & WiFi technology features, I find battery discharge rates to be acceptable. I shoot in "Live Mode", use continuous shooting mode, review images when shot, review histograms - all the features which can drain a battery. I haven't run into any issues even on longer shoots. I am purchasing at least one additional battery for back-up(s).
New technology | WiFi & GPS - Presently, I do not use the WiFi feature. Since I usually shoot on the fly and like to pack light, I do not carry a laptop/iPad. At some point, I will explore integrating WiFi into my routine. GPS is a real cool feature for geo-tagging. Call me old fashion/old school... I have no compelling reason to geo-tag at this time. Like WiFi, I will explore later and perhaps use. That said, these two features are battery power guzzlers. So the upside for me is my battery(s) will last longer in the field.
Build - I am liking the build and feel of the 6D. It fits my hand very well. Solid feel. The body is textured in all the right places.
Flash - No built in flash. No biggie here as I prefer using external light sources.
Conclusion - Overall, I am thrilled to have this camera in my bag. It has performed (thus far) to expectations. When my skills grow and expand, I will consider a 5D. In the meantime, I look fwd to viewing my new photos after a shoot and determine if any are worthy of those slick photo gifts (canvas prints, glass prints, metal sublimation prints) for family & friends! Ps: still using the 50D for action stuff and where a little more shutter speed & a little more reach is needed. Happy shooting!

Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Simple controls/menu
Cons: Missing features/settings, where's eos remote for windows phone? ;)
Finally a camera that can fully replace my 12 years old EOS 30 film camera. Image quality is beyond anything I've expected, and it still surprises me whenever I take the 6D for a walk. AF system is very efficient, and even if only the center point is cross type, it gets the job done without any problem. Image quality at high ISO settings lets me take photos in light conditions which I wouldn't consider worth taking my camera out from the bag. Only cons I can find are lack of built in flash with wireless flash control capability and perhaps the fact that there is no EOS Remote for Windows Phone (let's hope yet).

I've shot 5 events since Dec. and I'm very impressed with the 6D's image quality (I upgraded from the 7D). Low light performance is outstanding. I have no problem shooting 12,800. Wifi works great, but it can take a minute for my tablet to connect. It makes uploading to social sharing sites very fast. Once connected, viewing/downloading is quick. The center AF point is fantastic, but the outer points are not as reliable in low light. It can make composition more challenging in extreme low light, but it's superior to the 5D II. AI servo works fine for me in single shot for side to side action, like BMX (back button focusing is nice). I'm sure the 5D III is far superior (I don't shoot sports). Bottom line is if you are upgrading from an APS-C or shoot slow moving or static events, you'll love the images. Car shows are perfect!

Pros: good battery life, quiet, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Solid Operation
I shoot mostly concerts. When looking to upgrade my old camera I wanted three features:
1) Excellent image quality in low lighting
2) Reliable focusing ability in this same lighting conditions
3) Full Frame.
2) Reliable focusing ability in this same lighting conditions
3) Full Frame.
The 6D nailed it. I'm in aw of this camera. Whether I'm using my the 24-105mm IS, 70-200mm IS II or my 500mm F4 this camera delivers. I can easily take 1,000 to 1,500 shot per concert. One very nice feature is the quite mod too. A real plus.
My only complaint is the file names, when coping from the camera to my computer, some time drops but mostly changes changes the first charter.

I struggled a long time before upgrading from the T3i to the 6D. Was it really worth the money? Concise answer : YES!
Couldn't be happier. I feel like I stepped onto a new level of amateur photography. An affordable, full frame, well made Canon is great!

Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, iphone app, 3 5 & 7 image bracketing for hdr
Cons: no built-in flash
This camera is outstanding in all of the features that really count. I am an advanced amateur enthusiast primarily using the 6D for landscape, travel and portrait photography. For those purposes you can't ask for anything more. Image quality is fantastic. This was an upgrade for me from a 50D. I was waiting for the rumored 7D Mark II when the 6D came along. I'm sure glad it did. Having used the 6D for several months I much prefer the full frame over the APS-C sensor. The low noise at low light with higher ISO's that a full frame gives is well worth the price. Another really nice feature of the 6D is the ability to bracket 3, 5 or 7 shots for HDR. Coming from a 50D (and a 20D before that) the menu system was a breeze - no real learning curve at all.
It is true that this camera is somewhat "lacking" in features compared to the 7D or 5D Mark III. But the question I asked myself is would I really avail myself of those features, and the answer was "no." The auto focus is more than adequate and, with the possible exception of a built-in flash, this camera does everything needed for the type of photography I do. As a practical matter, the only time I ever used the built in flash on my 50D was for a little bit of fill light in outdoor portraits. It's really not that big an issue not to have it.
The Wi-Fi / iPhone app is exceptionally easy to use. It's great for long exposures - since it uses live view you don't have to worry about mirror shake or stray light coming in the view finder. I can get about 40-50 feet away from the camera and still have a connection as long as I'm not inside a building. There are some features I'd like to see in the iPhone app, principally a built in timer for long bulb exposures. But all in all, it functions really well, as does the GPS.
I have not had an issue with battery life. I keep the GPS on but the GPS tracker off, and only turn on the WiFi when in use. I've gone 7+ hours shooting 250+ images and still have battery life left.
Make no mistake, this is NOT the right camera if you're primarily into action or sports photography. If that's your forte you need the 7D with its extra auto focus points, higher fps and the "enhanced" telephoto range the APS-C crop factor gives you. But for landscape, travel and portrait, you can't go wrong.

New to the game of this range/quality of cameras but have been a canon person for 30+ years. This is simply the nicest camera I have owned. All the functions and requirements that I have as an amateur. Having had Canons, all the functions were as old, so learning time was minimal. The 25,000+ ASA is icing on cake!

I got the camera when it first came out. I'm coming from the 60d to now the 6d full frame camera and I have to say I love it. I have shot 2 weddings and also shot some music videos with it. I have to say shooting in low light is a dream with the camera. I still use my 60d as a back up but i dont use it much..

Been a photographer since 1970. Got away from it for a while. In 2004 while visiting the Grand Canyon the bug bit me hard. Since '04 I've had 5 Canon DSLRs, plus a G10 and a G12.
The full frame 6D is buy far the best yet. Great low light capability. Every time I use it I'm a little more amazed than the last time. I have five canon lenses and three flashes. All work perfectly together. After 40 years I finally found the one I've been waiting for . Full frame or nothing !!!

I photograph horse and hound sports, air shows, concerts with stage lighting, award presentations, picnics, and family events - several thousand images per year. The modest FPS rate is not an issue, as I learned with film to shoot well-timed single frames. I'm coming from a 7D, which I liked a lot, but after two months of use, this is my favorite. The 7D is backup for emergencies. I'm mostly shooting in Manual mode, letting the camera control the ISO level, and it's doing a great job. The center-point focus/servo is great.

I purchased my Canon 6D just 3 weeks ago to replace my main camera, the Canon 5D. This camera is not just an incremental upgrade but a generational improvement!
I love everything about this camera. Its menus are easy to use, the quality is unbelievably high and the features are outstanding. OK, so its not fast enough for sports photogs. Buy a different camera.
What has really blown me away is the image quality AND the Wifi connectivity options. I do plenty of astro-photography and this is the cats meow.
Buy it now while you have a chance.

I have been shooting for 40 years from film to the 6D. I also have a 7D and have always been impressed with the speed and ISO performance of the 7D. Its true the 6D lacks some of the controls you might expect on a full frame but it way more than makes up for it with its low light performance. It only has 11 focus point but one of them is very good and can focus in very dim conditions. Shooting in my house at night is like having a full lighting crew with me. you have to see it to believe. Some reviewers comment on no flash on this camera but it just is not required. For airplanes flying by use the 7D but for everything else give me this big beautiful fast sensor.

This camera replaced my 60d. The full-frame is a fantastic upgrade for me. I enjoy the wireless feature. Was able to tether to my computer using the wireless feature of the camera (using EOS Utility + WFTPairing application that comes with the camera CD) with a bit of tumbling to find out how to set it up!!!
In my opinion, the image quality is as good as 5d mark III. However, there are some stuff the 5d can do that the 6d can't do. And, a few that 6d can do, and 5d would need accessories to do!!! :)
All and all, I loved my purchase and I'm very happy with it. This camera is for my everyday use. It's light and it's full-frame, and it does the job perfectly.

Pros: good battery life, quiet, Nice features/settings, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Simple controls/menu, easy to use, just amazing in low light. flash really not needed
I'm upgrading from our Canon XSi 450D camera which i still love that we bought in 2007. However, after using this Canon 6D I don't see a need to keep using the old one. Canon 6D has 11 focus points. My old Canon XSi only had 9 so I get two more. This canon 6D locks in even at very low light. While my Canon XSi 450D had a pop up flash, I hardly used it as it made people look worse. Natural light for me was better. The Canon 6D i first tested it at night with only a tiny light in the livingroom, and only a small 40watt bulb in the kitchen. I really could not see much of anything in the liviing room. I set my ISO to automatic and made the max to only go to 3200, using the f4 24-100 kit lens, i just took the picture. Image came really bright and even captured the brown color of my lazyboy chair that i could hardly see in the view finder. picture was easy to fix in software. But the image in the camera was almost normal lighting. I don't think for me we need to spend money on an external flash ever. I'm Amazed. The camera weighs several ounces more then our Canon XSi 450D My wife said she just wanted to now use the old Canon 450D XSi, but I instead bought a second Canon 6D with her own 24-105 kit lens too. I also went ahead and bought the Canon 70-200 4fL IS. It is only about 2 inches longer then my Canon 100 f2.8L Macro lens I bought 4 months ago, and maybe a few ounces more. No big deal. Been saving for retirement, but I wanted something we both will enjoy using together for years to come. Thank you so much Canon! Good job! I'm looking forward to buying one more lens the 16-35 2.8 L sure would be nice if it was a new IS version. But maybe that wide angle does not need it. I love my IS lenses. I'm getting older and some days i have a slight left hand shaking. Not sure if that's a prelude to getting older or what? But all my IS lenses have given me better keepers. So I'm reluctant to buying anything that is not an IS lens.

My company bought this camera as a replacement for a worn out Rebel XT. It took me a while to get used to it, but so far so good. It produces outstanding images and has tons of useful features and settings.

Pros: quiet, Nice features/settings, excellent image quality, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Short battery life
Got this to upgrade from my 20D, wow has Canon come a long way in 8 years! I love this camera!
Build quality is excellent. Very quiet shutter & accurate AF. The top section is plastic, assuming because of the wifi & gps signals need to get through. Awesome to be able to have location metadata built in.
Takes amazing images, the low light performance is astounding, VERY LITTLE noise at ISO 12,800 and under. Battery life isn't as long as my 20D, although it's doing a heck of a lot more for me though. Worth it to have such an awesome display in the back!

Pros: good battery life, quiet, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Superior build quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable, Simple controls/menu, easy to use
Cons: Missing features/settings
Great image quality, many interesting features, quiet shutter.
In my opinion it should be able to save hdr in raw also, doesn't make sense to have it only for jpeg.
Moreover please make possible to set the hdr setting using C1 or C2.

Pros: good battery life, Quick Start-up time, excellent image quality, Bright LCD, Solid Operation, Lightweight/Portable
Cons: Poor build quality, Complicated controls/menu
PICTURE QUALITY – The full frame sensor is not hype – all your EF lenses are getting wider and TS-E lenses are working perfectly, the night/high ISO is beyond expectations! This portion is AWESOME! The image quality is great overall. As this is the selling point over crop sensor – is it something that will make you spend hundreds of dollars more?
SHOOTING – 4.5 fps feels tirelessly s…l..o…w… FOCUSING – mostly using the central point only, however nice to have the choice of different focusing points for horizontal and both vertical shooting
BUILD QUALITY – Well a little better than 60D, but lower quality than 40D/50D, but better than Rebel. Sorry compared to 40D it feels cheaper.
NAVIGATION/USAGE – Unfortunately Canon decided to move buttons around yet again, so if you plan to use both 6D and 60D side-by side, it’s a MAJOR user confusion (DELETE is now in place of REVIEW, that has replaced INFO and since a new ZOOM dedicated button was introduced, it has replaced MENU). The new image review - not a big fan of it, not sure why they decided to follow the 5D III image review buttons and have not kept the 5D II/40D/50D/60D layout – perhaps less thumb movement? The Multi-Controller should have been made bigger.
DISPLAY – Great, very bright even on sunlight…
WIFI – Great potential, just stunning to use tablet for remote shooting or download photos over WiFi to your computer. Hope Canon will continue in enhancing the “EOS Remote” software (e.g. adding a timer function) and user friendliness of the overall experience setting-up and re-connecting – both in camera and on computer/tablet. Sometimes very confusing - need to read manual...
RAW – Canon has made a change in 6D RAW format, so you need to get the latest DPP in order to develop your images.
SOFTWARE – DPP is crashing more than it was in the past. But nothing new here...
MISC – Turning on the ALO automatically turns off HPT and vice versa, great – one less step!
MENUS– clattered, full of staff that can be in a second level menu – like how many time are you setting Beep, Release shutter without card, Image review time, or setting Dust Delete Data? And the list goes on… I’d rather have TWO custom menus…
