The photo quality you get from the EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or higher-end models it's a less obvious choice. Read more
*Total price for the Canon EOS 6D (Body Only) are estimated and may vary slightly based on exact tax, shipping, manufacturer rebate or any sale/promotion on the merchant site.
The good: The Canon EOS 6D delivers the photo and video quality you expect from a full-frame sensor, in a well-designed and relatively lightweight body.
The bad: While the camera has nice extra features, like Wi-Fi and GPS support, it's missing some basics for the price like on-camera flash, multiple card slots, and a 100 percent-coverage viewfinder.
The bottom line: The photo quality you get from the EOS 6D makes it well worth the upgrade over a consumer APS-C model, but between this and comparable or higher-end models it's a less obvious choice.
Pros: * Clean sensor * Low noise * Well-built solid feel * Lots of useful features Wifi, GPS, leveling, HDR * The AF is extremely fast and accurate even in very low light * Full frame sensor is a great plus for this body's price point * Light body weight
Cons: * Lacking number of autofocus points compared to other bodies in it's capability range * Limited shutter speed of 1/4000 * No flash pop up * 1 card slot - Originally this bothered me. Then I decided to carry a tiny SD card in my pocket as a backup.
Summary: I have to say that this 6D is truly amazing!
My three favourite features are low noise with high ISO settings, full-frame sensor and large and bright viewfinder.

The 6D has IQ exactly the same as the 5D Mark III for about $1000 less.
This is definitely a body I would recommend to any photographer looking for high quality DSLR and strong video.
