Poll: Which Full frame camera will you buy?

[ManWearPants]

I am a new comer to Canon I just order one unit Canon EOS6D a few days ago. This take me a few months to decide between Nikon D600 & Canon EOS6D I focus on my needs and finally manage to narrow it and bought it.

You'll enjoy the much better QC from Canon these days as compared to Nikon. No point agonizing over a camera. You can read about it from Thom Hogan's commentary dated 23-Jan-2013.

Interesting article from Nikon guru Tom Hogan. I didn't realize that the Nikon D800 was having such problems to that extent.

Interesting article from Nikon guru Tom Hogan. I didn't realize that the Nikon D800 was having such problems to that extent.

I think he just cited the Nikon D800 has a prime example, because much of the article was criticizing the decreasing QC standards of late.

It is interesting to note that the Nikon D4 don't seem to have as many problems, despite being (what I assume) to be more complicated.

Nonetheless, this is particularly worrisome, because anyone who have worked with a Japanese firm will know that they are fastidious about quality. Then again, no one is infallible. Despite the much touted procedures and quality control, Japanese manufacturers have made flawed products and even executes product recalls before. Let's hope that this is just a temporary oversight.

The D600 has dust blobs on the sensor straight out of factory...

Based on Reikan's statistics, 5D3 AF is amazingly accurate for a whole bunch of lenses (24 f/1.4 Mk2, 35 f/1.4, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.2, 85 f/1.8, 16-35 f/2.8 Mk2, 17-40 f/4, 24-70 f/2.8 Mk2, 24-105 f/4 IS, 70-200 f/2.8 IS Mk2 etc etc).

Strict factory QC and highly accurate AF are things I've always wanted to see from Canon. They finally deliver on these important fronts. I am so impressed... that I just got myself a new 6D + 24-105 kit today. :bsmilie:

You guys are way OT in the Canon forum.

It is not norm if never ot. .. lol...

bringing the topic back..

i just bought 6D to serve as a back up for my 5D3 2 weeks ago..

I love my 5D3, it is super reliable when shooting for clients. but after shooting with it for about 4 months, the lighter 6D is definitely a welcome addition for smaller assignments that doesn't require lightning fast focus and 2 camera body set up. the manageable weight is just a joy to use.

 

[Snoweagle]

If the 6D was available in March when I got the 5DIII, I most probably would have gone with the 6D. Alas, I'm now pretty much spoiled by the 5DIII...

Ever since I got my 5D Mk I in 2007, until now still inseparable! The 5D series are really solid stuffs, can't go wrong with them! :thumbsup:

 

[Castlesinthesky]

I'd still go with the 1Dx

 

[TheRyan]

its between 6d and 5D3 for me... the 5d3 is a good workhorse but sometimes i would prefer something lighter and i think the 11-pt af is pretty sufficient in most cases (tried at canon showroom). But I still think 5D3 has the slight edge though and thats why i bought it. I might consider 6D as my 2nd body though when i have the $$$ =)

My thought is for light setup, i go for M43, they are capable enough... for more serious stuff, 5DMKIII.... still think the 6D is lacking something like that... but of course its much cheaper....

And it has a nicer sensor...

Both my 5D classics work perfectly... No point in spending money on more "photo boxes" at the moment...Just updating my EF primes instead and getting a few more portable lights (another Quadra Ranger would be nice)... and also the EF 300 f4 IS as well...He He...For low light street shooting I just use my Oly Pens anyway..

I just hope my 5D classic can still last for some time, also haven't been sending it for a general servicing for almost 2 years.

If you want more servicing you bought the wrong camera. Buy a Nikon next time.

I usually send it for annual servicing just for maintenance. Kindly do not start a brand war here.

I don't know what you mean. It was obviously a joke.

All right maybe I didn't get your intentions in the first place.

Tried a buddy's 5D III against my 6D. Beside being alot better in AF (not just faster but almost all shots are accurate compared to my 6D), it is sharper in every picture. Maybe due to AF more accurate?

Night shots are quite comparable though. Must say 5D Mark III is alot better in many other areas and if anyone is getting just 1 FF DSLR (assuming no budget constraints), it should be a 5D.

I seldom use the wifi function of my 6D and GPS is off all the time. These are the only 2 function lacking on 5D, but if you dont need them like me, 5D is a better one to me.

I didnt try out my 5d3 before i buy it..lolZ..juz read reviews..& feedback from forums..but for me..i will wait for 7d2..6d kinda disappoint me abit..need a capable 2nd body but in no hurry..

Hmmm.... this is an interesting comparison. It would be useful if someone who owns both cameras could post comparison shots from both cameras.
