I bought a used 6D in like 2016 as a second camera to my 5Diii and ended up liking the 6D so much that I sold my 5Diii and bought two more 6D’s (filming haircuts I needed multiple angles). Years later after “upgrading” through canon’s early RF offerings and feeling let down in many ways (less intuitive ergonomics and button layouts, cumbersome auto focus navigation, and seeing the world through an EVF meant I could only perceive what the sensor could) I decided to find another 6D— and it is glorious. I didn’t even notice that canon had lost their legendary colors until after I went back to the 6D— my R6 shifts toward magenta in areas where the 6D shifts toward teal, and the “defects” in terms of dynamic range and noise actually have a really nice aesthetic. Now I grab my R6 when I have to get a photo but I grab my 6D when I want to get a photo.

My 6D is an absolute joy to use. I have had mine for 6 years and it's like my 3rd eye when I'm out using it. Use it for landscapes, portraits, and have also shot a couple of weddings with it. It has never put a foot wrong. Absolute workhorse!!

In my opinion, the Canon 6D classic is the greatest camera ever made. Its actually the reason i started photography, by loving the images it produced. Its weird but i could even tell which was shot by the 6D vs 6Dm2. 6D just looked better to my eye.

Just purchased a 6d, what a brilliant little camera. Owning 2 x 5D's and a 550D, the 6D is now my top camera. Images are superb.

I agree 100%! The Canon 6D v1 and one of the BEST cameras Canon has ever made. I have used it for many years professionally, put over 158k on the shutter and its still blazing. EXCELLENT image quality. Its not full of features but images are what its all about. The low light ISO performance is crazy. I have used it plenty of times for sports, especially night sports for the ISO performance.

"I don't wanna be moving the focus points like I'm playing Pacman" BRILLIANT! I agree 100% and LOVE this camera, even with the weak points that I can easily work around. It continues to be my workhorse for reference gathering photoshoots (especially for those around a campfire during blue light hour), and painting captures... man, that sensor! Well done, you've earned a new subscriber Martin, thanks for the clarity in a "It's new, so I gotta have it, even if the new features don't matter to me" world.

[andrewazbell]

Used a pair of 6D's for years for weddings, events and portraits. Gorgeous camera with gorgeous images.

I absolutely love my 6d mark 1, it's my workhorse.. i shoot weddings primarily Using it from 2014.. the shutter gave up on me after 220k actuations.. I got a new shutter mechanism put into it. Very happy with my 6d.

I have shot the 6D and 6D II and they are both great cameras. I appreciate you taking the time and having the experience to be the reviewer.

[martinlawrence]

Love your real world, aesthetic focused reviews Martin. Have my 6D sitting in a draw, but you have convinced me to dig it out and get it working again!

[fredkeogh]

Totally agree the 6D mk1 and only the mk1 will be the classic camera to chase in the future ‘ and prices will definitely go up for this Japanese built Beautiful camera’ Thanks for the review.

[seanmuller]

The 6D was my first Full frame Camera. I use it for Nightscape Landscape Astrophotography. It's never failed me. I like it so much I bought 2nd and had it Astro Modified.
It truly is a Photagraphy camera.

[DLeRoux]

Martin, you are a camera treasure trove for us that cannot afford the R5's, Z9's, A9's etc.
This is where the majority of us sit in affordability and no one does reviews like yourself on these.
Thank you for your work!

Better late than never to comment. I still use my 6D and remains, to this day, my favourite camera to take for travel and event photography. The key hallmarks of the 6D is how simply and close-to-the-metal it is. The focusing system in no BS and simple. I don't need to dig into the menus to make the dang thing work. My focus is on composition and the exposure triangle. no on fancy AF modes to deal with. I'm seeing 6D's everywhere on marketplace and gumtree; if it breaks or stops working, I can easily get it replaced. I've not been not kind on my Canon 6D and it still refuses to die. I also own a 5D mark IV, and I still find myself grabbing this camera over my 5D-IV. Hell it takes better pictures with a 40mm pancake than the way over priced X110V from Fuji (Yeah I own that too).

[melkelrossette]

Love this camera! It’s my main camera for everything! It’s fairly quiet, great image quality, lightweight, and great lowlight performance. For weddings I use my 5D MKIV, and the 6D pairs well as my second camera.

You have this rare ability to carry some kind of depth in your art and that's why I'm huge fan of yours. This depth surfaces in the way you talk too, I find myself mesmerized by your perception and attention to beautiful details. I decided to go back to photography and you helped me decide which camera I want for myself. I've got 6D! Looking brand new, only 10k on the shutter, all for only $495, can you believe it?! I'm so excited to begin my journey with it! :D I'll keep watching your videos to become better photographer, so please keep doing what you're doing, because it's amazing and inspiring! ❤

[Morgan_In_Motion]

I love your videos man. Your gear reviews are so honest and I really like how you try and encourage people to see the value in older gear or stuff we already have. G.A.S is a real problem lol
Anyway I used to have a 6d. While I haven't tried out a lot of cameras I miss the image sensor on that 6d so much. It took such nice photos and I felt like I could shoot anywhere anytime and recover the most under exposed images. I gotta find another one day.

[GrandHuevotes]

I pre ordered and received the 6D on launch day. Shot with it all over the world. One of the best cameras I ever owned. Sold it in 2016 and recently bought another second hand. It feels good to be back.

[Picstyle]

I truly love my 6D camera. Then I upgraded to the 6d Mark2 because of "better af, split touching screen etc" BUT nothing happend with it, no emotional connection. It's just like a colleague at work. On the opposite, when I take back my beloved 6D in hands, I feel like meeting a true friend again. I just love its sensor and the old way to shoot with a trusty Dslr .

[jonj]

I agree with the focus points, I usually need one in the middle and recompose, that's far better than some erratic eye focus on newer cameras and it makes me feel in control instead of being a victim of technology.
