Canon EOS 6D

الوصف

The EOS 6D is built around a new Canon CMOS sensor, which offers a pixel count of *0.2MP (compared to the Nikon D**0 and Sony SLT-A*9's *4MP, and the 5D Mark III's *2MP). In concert with the DIGIC 5+ processor it offers a standard ISO range of ********0, expandable down to *0 and up to **2,**0. The AF system has *1 points, but only the central one is cross-type (sensitive to both vertical and horizontal detail). However, the 6D's trump card is the ability to focus in extremely low light levels; right down to a claimed *3 EV a full stop dimmer than the 5D Mark III. This figure might not mean much to you, but for reference, *3 EV is roughly equivalent to the light cast by a full moon.

Notable additions include integrated GPS and Wi-Fi - with the latter offering the ability to control the camera remotely via your smartphone. The 6D also benefits from some features we saw in the EOS 5D Mark III, like Canon's silent shutter mode, which offers quieter, more discreet shooting. It also inherits in-camera HDR and Multiple Exposure modes, but disappointingly implements these as JPEG only options, unlike on the 5D Mark III which also records Raw files.

The 6D omits some of the more interesting goodies Canon introduced on the EOS **0D, too. There's no on-chip phase-detection to aid autofocus in live view or movie mode, nor does Canon's superb touchscreen interface make an appearance. As usual for a full frame DSLR - the Sony SLT-A*9 being the sole exception - the rear screen itself is fixed, rather than articulated as it is on the EOS *0D. Canon says this is for maximum durability and to keep the camera's size down.
