OFFICIAL: CANON EOS 6D - User Thread - Part 3

[trd2970]

BnS still quite nos of "used/grey/claim to be new" set of 6D body selling either higher or just little lower than a new local warranty set.
Guess there are some who don't do enough homework when buying/selling stuffs.

Yeah. Saw a china set asking 2099, grey sets asking 1950... but I guess don't need to worry for the sellers. If no takers, price will have to be adjusted unless there's really no motivation to move the item.

Haha dude not the plunge. More like took a rocket. Haha...the 6D is amazing....same exact sensor as the 5D Mark 3.

Welcome to the club bro!

 

[ageha]

same exact sensor as the 5D Mark 3.

It's not.

 

[Alexcheng]

It's not.

Besides the megapixel count bro...

Besides the megapixel count bro...

Curious to know how is the 5D3 sensor exactly the same as 6D? where is your source to make this claim?

 

[ageha]

Besides the megapixel count bro...

Besides? Bro, that's a metaphysic paradoxa. Same sensor but different megapixel count don't go together!

Besides the megapixel count bro...

actually I would say that the 6D sensor has better DR and iso performance vs the 5D3, so it could be a better sensor by virtue of it's lesser MP and bigger pixels.

Observations are based on my experience of owning the 6D for about 9 months and 5D3. The 6D images have better shadow performance and shadow recovery definitely better than that of the 5D3.

not exactly the same so cannot say the same la....as long as there is some difference.

We all know that since 2012 but it's still not the same.

 

[ricleo]

yeap which is why i also say not same hehe..and one up with actual observations on why not same.

We all know that since 2012 but it's still not the same.

 

[LordVader]

Same same but different?

 

[ageha]

Actually it's even the same camera, well 'besides' the specifications. But what does it matter, still the same camera lah.

 

[Gabriel]

Haizzz....its Canon. Thats all that matters. Nuff said

 

[Alexcheng]

Same same but different?

Haha ya same same but different. #russellpeters

How does the focussing between the 6D and 5D Mk3, only via the centre focussing point, compare? Any difference? Let's just use the 24-70L Mk2 as a reference lens. Thank you.

Joining the bandwagon. Recently switched from 60D to 6D.

The outer points AF are not as responsive / accurate as 60D's, but not that bad either. Just find a good contrast and they'll focus. (FYI I use outer points AF a lot). Of course, how long it takes to focus is a different story, and, depending on your usage, 6D may or may not be the right camera for you.

In fact, so far, the only annoyance for me is the placement of the delete button. Very far at the bottom. But oh well.. overall it's still a positive experience.

Can anyone also inform me reasonably good screen protectors (for both backside and top LCD)? Googled here and there but most of them are only for back LCD.
