The Canon EOS 6D is a 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon.

It was publicly announced on 17 September 2012, one day before the start of the photokina trade show. It was released in late November 2012 with a suggested retail price of US$2,099.00 (body only).^[4]^[5]^[6]

The 6D is offered as a body only or in a package with an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens; at introduction, the suggested retail price was US$2,899.00.^[4]

Features

The EOS 6D is the first Canon DSLR to feature GPS functions and built in Wi-Fi capabilities, which geotag images and allow files to be uploaded directly to Facebook, YouTube, or Canon Image Gateway; transferred to external devices; or sent to be printed on a Wi-Fi-enabled Canon printer. The Wi-Fi capabilities also allow remote control and viewing via many smartphones.^[7]

Weighing 770 grams (27 oz), the 6D is also Canon's smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR; comparable to the APS-C sensor 60D. The camera also features an ISO setting range from 50 to 102,400 which can be selected automatically or adjusted manually, an 11-point autofocus system, and an anti-glare 3.0 inches (76 mm) LED screen.^[8] The center autofocus point has a sensitivity of -3 EV.

The new BG-E13 battery grip that was made to be used with the 6D allows the use of six AA cells or one to two LP-E6 batteries.^[9] The 6D has a maximum burst frame rate of 4.5 frames per second.^[8] Like all Canon DSLR full-frame cameras, the 6D does not feature a built in flash due to the design of the viewfinder.^[10]

Image features

20.2 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor.
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor.
Fluorine-coated low-pass filter.

Autofocus and metering

11-point autofocus sensors with 1 cross type sensor in center (x-type is sensitive down to -3EV).
TTL-CT-SIR AF with CMOS sensor.
63-zone Dual Layer-silicon cell.
AF Micro Adjust (+/- 20 steps).

ISO

100 – 25,600 (expansion down to: 50 / up to: 51,200 & 102,400).

Shutter

30 s – 1/4,000 s (and bulb) is the shutter speed range.
4.5 fps burst rate.

Ergonomics and functions

Optical Pentaprism viewfinder with approximately 97% coverage (0,71× enlargement)
Clear View TFT LCD screen (3 "/77 mm) with 720 × 480 pixels, 288 ppi (approximately 1,040,000 dots), resolution with dual anti-glare coating.
Wi-Fi functionality.
Metal alloy housing (Top is made out of high-grade plastic).
Built-in GPS. However, this remains on when the camera is switched off, and quickly drains the battery if not deactivated via setting.
