I use this camera for allsorts of photography, mainly indoor sport though, the full frame sensor along with L series lens really helps to make the most out of any good images I capture!!

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing the 6D. I was looking for full-frame picture quality in a good sized, responsive camera, as I was upgrading from a 350D. Prior to that I used film, and wanted the depth of field control that I used to enjoy with 35mm. The 6D is a great camera. I've used it in bright sunlight, on dull days, at night, in natural and artificial light. The pictures are of exceptional quality in terms of sharpness (I use a 24-105mm L), colour reproduction and detail. Taking hand-held pictures at night and getting great results is a revelation. I am very picky when it comes to quality and I'm thrilled by the results. I have used all the focusing points in low light without any problem. The autofocus is responsive and hasn't let me down in any light. So the reviews highlighting the inferior specs compared with the 5D Mk3 might be true, but I haven't felt that I've missed anything by choosing the 6D. The GPS and Wifi are very useful and fun. The Live View mode and video work well. I love this camera, and really can't think of anything negative to say about it.

The 6D produces great pictures, is a joy to use and light enough to carry around all day. To be honest, I can hardly put it down, and it has inspired me to take my camera out more often and use it as much as possible.

I love the ease of use of this camera and am a big fan of the quick controls via the lcd screen.

I should maybe have done my research more carefully before splashing the cash, as I was hoping for a lighter camera than my 5D Mk II (to be my main travel camera). Turns out it's only 100 grams or so lighter. There are more focus points than the Mk II, but not a huge number.

Nice to use though. Not great for action because of the slow shutter speed. I found too that using the GPS really drained the battery, so unless you have lots of spares or can charge every night, keep it turned off.

I used the HDR function and was pleased with the results. The images don't need a lot of post processing, just basic stuff, which is good as the HDR files are JPEG not RAW. This function also is a bit heavy on the battery.

I use the 6D a lot of the time on quite dim stages where the high ISO speeds are really great. Given careful treatment in Lightroom 4, fantastic results are easy to achieve when shooting on the max.
Wireless client monitoring on my i-pad is another great benefit as is the quiet shutter in comparison to my 1ds bodies.
I don't find the lack of focus points a problem, I mostly shoot with just the centre point active.
As a professional my gear sometimes takes a knock, I'm not sure of the longevity of the 'plastic' top plate, although I understand the need for the Wi-Fi signals to escape.

My first full format DLSR took a long time over deciding whether to go with the Canon 5 or 6d. Very happy with my choice. 6d is relatively light and packed with useful functions. love the wifi and GPS. I mainly use manual settings but some of the auto features like HDR and night scene are useful if you haven't got time or space for tripods and all the works.
