Here is my first friend who give Canon EOS 6d reviews:
what's so special large sensor camera? Questions like these are often ejected from a number of friends who are generally new hobby of photography when choosing a camera. And that's why this Canon EOS 6d reviews is really helpful for you.
Important for us to know, the intensity of the light falling on the sensor cameras have a big impact on image quality. With the large size of the sensor, a camera can capture light with greater intensity than the small sensor camera. Impact, the sensor can also provide material for more digital data to be processed by the camera processor. This gives the advantage of the camera when used in low light conditions to be able to capture more light.
Unfortunately, camera manufacturers can not put up any big sensor on the camera. Until recently, the camera sensor is a component that is still expensive. This makes not all photography enthusiasts can reach the price of a large sensor camera. In addition, the sensor size also affects the size of the camera. Generally, the larger the sensor, the size of the camera was so much bigger and heavier.
Through the EOS 6D, Canon was trying to provide a full-frame DSLR camera with a more affordable price. Full-frame is the term for a camera that uses a large sensor, equivalent to the size of 35mm film. Which makes it interesting, smaller than full-frame DSLR else. With dimensions of just 144.5 x 110.5 x 71.2 mm and weighs 755 grams, its size is smaller than the EOS 5D Mark III. Even if lighter than the EOS 7D use APS-C sensors.
By that measure, the EOS 6D feels more comfortable when taken on the road. Some co-editor of the long-held and familiar with a variety of DSLR cameras also feel excited about the size that is not too heavy. Even the EOS 6D feels comfortable when held since had great grip handle.
Compromise price and features
With a price tag under 20 million dollars, can not be denied EOS 6D very interesting. With the magnitude of the sensor, this camera promises great potential to produce high quality images. However, to suppress the price and no win amateur DSLR market, Canon also made a number of compromises on some important features.
EOS 6D is not equipped with a built-in flash. This characterizes the professional DSLR cameras. However, the design and operation mechanism more similar to the EOS 60D that went into semi-professional category. Instead of using a joystick to adjust the focus point and the camera menu as in the EOS 5D Mark III, a key regulator of the camera adopts the existing system on the EOS 60D.
One of the most obvious compromise, the camera is equipped with a built-in wi-fi and GPS is only using 11 autofocus sensors. EOS 5D Mark III, professional series whose price is far above it, using the 61 AF sensors. Number of AF sensor is even smaller than the EOS 7D (19 AF sensors) that still use an APS-C sensor which has been launched for longer.
Fortunately, with limited autofocus sensor, Autofocus performance is quite good. When editorial CFVD test with Tamron SP 70-200 mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD for photographing seabirds on Wedi Ombo Beach, Yogyakarta, starting autofokusnya able to catch up with fast moving objects. Pretty impressive for the size of the camera that only has 11 autofocus sensor for photographing birds actively moving as the photo below is quite difficult. Moreover, shooting using third party lenses.
Canon EOS 6D * f / 4 * 1/3200 sec * ISO1600 * 200mm
When the camera is used at night, even in very low light conditions though, autofokusnya still works pretty fast. Overall, almost no weaknesses in autufokusnya.
Another feature is suppressed Canon viewfinder with 97% coverage to make the body become more concise. However, the viewfinder is enough to give comfort because it still feels big and bright when we used to take a snapshot.
For straight shooting, speed is only 4.5 frames per second. Once shooting, with JPEG + RAW formats, the EOS 6D only record up to 7 frames picture. The problem, recording time to save the image to the memory card is quite slow. To 7 RAW + JPEG frames pictures at the highest resolution required storage time above 10 seconds. With keceptan like this, the EOS 6D less suitable for sports photography enthusiasts. Unlike other professional cameras are generally given two memory card slots, the EOS 6D has only one type of memory card slot for SD / SDHC / SDXC.
The most interesting feature is its wi-fi. Indeed, Canon is not who pioneered the application of this technology in the camera. But, it is still not a lot of cameras that implement them. With the presence of these features we can do a photo shoot using the smartphone as a remote control.
We live download EOS Remote app from Google Play Store which can be downloaded for free. Installation can be done easily. When trying to apply the HTC One X, the function of remote control via Wi-Fi connection is still working fine from a distance of 10 m.
With the EOS Remote app, the scene can be viewed in liveview shooting on a smartphone screen. Interestingly, the speed of autofocus EOS 6D in when we run shooting with EOS Remote is faster than when using the live view feature on its LCD screen. When shooting is done with high-angle using a monopod, the existence of this feature helps the user to obtain angle-shooting unusual angles with accurate composition.
Impressive results Shooting
To complement the large sensor, combining it with any Canon Digic 5 + processor generation to produce a 20.2 Megapixel resolution images. The latest generation of processors owned by Canon. The blend can boost the camera's sensitivity up to ISO 102,400. With this high sensitivity, users can do a lot in low-light situations without the need to use an external flash.
Then, what about the images it produces? To get the answer, editorial CFVD was doing field testing of the EOS 6D both in daylight and night. When used to record the atmosphere of the night market in North Square, Sultan Palace, which is regularly held every year to commemorate Sekaten coincided with the celebration of the Prophet's Birthday, the results are very satisfying.
Until at ISO 3200, the images we produce will still be free of noise. Less noise began to appear in ISO 6400. Up in ISO 12800, arising noise is still fairly reasonable. Pictures taken with ISO 12800 is still feasible to use.
Performance at high ISO also gives a great advantage when we do not have a fast lens at night. To get a high shutter speed, users can increase the ISO value without worrying about the outcome. For example, to get the shutter speed up to 1/100 sec at photo trampoline like children who play on the right lens is the Canon 17-40 mm f / 4, the sensitivity of the camera to be raised up to ISO 3200. As a result, noise appears not taste.
There is one thing to note from the EOS 6D. The camera produces images with the sharpness of character a little soft. To obtain images with a more prominent advised to increase the parameter "sharpness" in his choice of picture style. With a little boost parameter "sharpness" only one strip from its default position, we've been able to get a picture with the sharpness as the reliefs that decorate the photo above this Sewu.
Not only are good sharpness, the camera is equipped with the Auto Lighting Optimizer with three levels of selection has also showed a wide dynamic range. An example is the picture below. Death areas exposed to direct sunlight which is still not well enough documented. In fact, the photo was taken at about 10 noon where the contrast is pretty harsh. The quality of the camera is offset by the ability to reproduce color images with natural brightness level that is no less captivating.
The last thing is try to recognize the editorial CFVD video features of the EOS 6D. Can not be denied, this time Canon is known as one of the manufacturers of video cameras with excellent features. Apparently, that excites both in photos too carried away in the video feature. The video is still able to produce images with impressive quality.
Interestingly, while features 1080p resolution video with her walking, users are still able to take still photos. Autofocus is still running in video mode. However, this method should be considered carefully because the shutter sound when recording video images can be entered into. The sound is very annoying when the tape is played back. In addition, the autofocus in video mode that works with the contrast AF system is fairly slow. It is recommended you keep using manual focus settings while recording video.
and here is second opinion of the experts of camera in the case of Canon EOS 6d reviews:
What makes the EOS 6D camera specials, one of which is light weight, only 680 grams, for a full frame camera category. But the charm does not stop in terms of weight alone.
In a presentation made Canon officials some time ago at his headquarters, Canon 3 keys deliver a high-quality photos, the lens, image sensor and image processing.
Well, for the 6D series, combining sensor Canon 20.2 MP full frame CMOS with Digic 5 + processors - similar to that of the 5D Mark III - which is claimed to produce high-fidelity images even when shooting low light use though.
In the same occasion also reveal the advantages of the Canon full frame sensor include high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and S / N ratio is high.
EOS 6D has an ISO range of 100-25600 but can be maximized up to 102,400. For burst shooting, this series can produce images with a speed of 4.5 fps. As for the system auto focus (AF), the EOS 6D engineer behind him with 11 points.
Video affairs, also a major concern in the manufacture of these devices. This series can produce full HD-quality video with a resolution of 1920x1080p at 24fps speed.
"Although the Canon EOS 6D is a full frame DSLR camera, but in terms of
weights, dimensions and existing technology in it to be differentiated from other cameras
in its class. The presence of these cameras is expected to be a solution for the
broader photographers to produce work better, ".
Featured mode
EOS 6D has interesting modes in it. One is Handheld Night Scene.
For those who often take off the tripod at home, or who do not have a tripod, this mode can be optimized. Handheld Night Scene helps users who are often photographed in low light tanpabantuan tripod.
This mode works by combining the resulting four photos into one photo with optimal light.
Multiple Exposure Shot existence as well as interesting. The camera work was taking photos of 2 to 9 times, then combine them into one creative photo.
Built-in WiFi and GPS
Connectivity can not be denied a part in the amount spent by the camera manufacturer. Canon already has WiFi in the previous series. And here was built in connectivity built-in. What are the benefits?
With WiFi, the user will be able to transfer them to a smartphone or other device with speeds up to 150Mbps wireless via WiFi 802.11 b / g / n as well as bring the ease of photo printing via PictBridge feature (DPS over IP) to the printer wirelessly.
And certainly with the built-in WiFi, users can also control the camera remotely via the EOS Remote App.
"EOS Remote app is a first for the Canon EOS 6D really gave
a fun new experience for users, "said Sintra Wong - Division Manager of Canon Image Communication Products Division Datascrip in a written statement.
"For example, we can sort the images or upload them to social media directly from the phone or tablet device while the camera remains in the bag, and many more new things that can be done with this technology," he added.
The application can be downloaded for free on Google Play or Apple Store. This control includes the conversion of shooting modes, see the live view screen on your phone or tablet screen to specify the desired area through a mobile iOS or Android.
EOS 6D also has GPS for geo-tagging of data administration in the photo.
In CP + in Yokohama exhibition a few days ago, the series is also on display at the Canon booth. Managing Director & Chief Executive of Image Communication Products Canon Inc.., Masaya Maeda said the product has become one of their flagship products in 2013.
As alluded to earlier, EOS 6D has a light weight, even 180g lighter than the Canon 5D Mark II so dare to be claimed as a camera with a full frame CMOS sensor lightest in the world.
Thus, the two opinion of camera experts in the case of Canon EOS 6d reviews make us believe in the camera is real gun for professional photographers.
