Canon EOS 6D Review Video Transcription:
0:00
Hi I’m Ali Jennings imaging lab manager
for Future’s photography portfolio.

This is the EOS 6D, Canon’s first true enthusiast
level full frame digital SLR, which is positioned
0:12
just below the EOS 7D and above the 60D in
Canon’s line-up.
0:18
Inside is Canon’s Digic 5 processor and
a 20.2 million pixel full frame CMOS sensor
0:24
with a native sensitivity range of ISO 100-25600,
which is great for and a range of conditions,
0:33
and if needed this range can be extended from
ISO 50 to 102400.
0:41
Two new features for Canon’s SLR range are
inbuilt GPS and WiFi technology. These are
0:47
handy for recording your location and taking
wireless control of your camera.
0:53
Whilst the weight of the 6D and the 60D are
the same, the 6D’s body isn’t as deep
0:58
and this makes the grip a bit deeper so it
gives really good purchase.
1:02
The button layout has been thoughtfully arranged
and gives you instant access to the camera’s
1:07
main features. Many of these can also be accessed
using the Quick menu button here, and adjusted
1:13
using the rear navigation pad.
1:17
The menu system is huge with 15 tabs, so the
inclusion of the My Menu screen cuts down
1:22
time locating commonly used features by being
able to add them to this screen.
1:27
When it comes to AF there are 11 points grouped
around the centre of the frame and although
1:32
this gives a reasonable amount of choice,
only the centre one is cross type. We found
1:38
this is the best one to choose for moving
subjects, so you may have to crop to improve
1:42
the compose post-capture.
1:44
The 6D uses Canon’s 63-zone iFCL metering
system with a dual-layer metering sensor.
1:52
As we have found with other Canon models,
this works well, but in high contrast situations
1:58
a little compensation, either way, often needs
to be dialled in to get the exposure looking
2:03
right.
2:04
Colour rendition is excellent adding slight
but not overwhelming warmth, and the TFT screen
2:10
shows an accurate representation of the final
image.
2:14
On the whole the 6D shows excellent control
over noise, with none visible at the lower
2:18
end of the ISO range. Coloured speckling is
visible at ISO 25600 along with some loss
2:25
of detail in JPEG files, but the images are
still usable,
2:29
The 6D is the first SLR to feature WiFi technology
built-in. This works well taking just a couple
2:39
of minutes to pair both camera and iPhone.
Once paired and a shooting mode is selected
2:42
you can then adjust the settings and take
pictures using the controls on the screen
2:46
of your phone.
2:49
GPS can be switched on here and once done
automatically tags your images with your location,
2:54
this data can then be view in Canon’s software
or other applications that are able to read
2:58
GPS data.
2:59
There’s no doubt where the Canon EOS 6D
is aimed, with pro and beginner features stripped,
3:04
you’re left with a camera finely tuned to
the needs of the enthusiast. The full frame
3:09
sensor captures images that are rich in colour
and tone, with raw files offering plenty of
3:14
scope for adjustment. It’s a great option
for anyone looking to upgrade to a full-frame
3:18
camera from a camera such as the 60D.
