I have owned or used the full series of Canon 5D DSLRs (Mark I through Mark III). I have also owned or used all of the Canon 1D DSLRs (Mark I through Mark IV).<\/p>\n

A little less than a year ago, I got rid of my 5D Mark III and bought the 6D (with the 24-105mm f\/4.0L IS lens which I had owned in the past). The first thing I shot with it were these two series: Saturday at Lake George, New York (June 2013)<\/a> and 2013 Elvis Festival, Lake George, NY<\/a>).<\/p>\n

I was pretty knocked out by the results. The 24-105mm f\/4.0L IS in conjunction with the 6D gives really sharp results<\/strong>. I did notice a slight delay in its autofocus performance, but the focus was still able to lock in–even on moving targets–in most cases.<\/p>\n

The silent shutter setting has really come in handy for both street photography and paid event photography where I need to be very quiet (e.g., at poetry readings).<\/p>\n

The image quality, even at high ISOs, is as good as the more expensive 5D Mark III.<\/p>\n

In short, I would recommend the 6D to anyone looking for a full frame Canon DSLR if you’re not shooting anything as fast-moving as most sporting events or car racing. It’s excellent for photographing outdoors or relatively slow-moving (or non-moving) subjects indoors–e.g., a couple moving down a relatively dark church aisle.<\/p>\n

I think I paid $2400 for the 6D DSLR + 24-105mm f\/4.0L IS lens kit<\/a>, but you can get it at B&H right now for a mere $2000<\/a>; that’s a good deal.<\/p>\n

The Body Only 6D is $1900<\/a>, but I think buying the kit and selling the lens if you don’t need or want it is a significantly better deal.<\/p>\n
