Questions & Answers

KAREN K : Does this camera have a mirror lock for night shots?DAVID G : Yes it does and does an amazing job on night shots.ARI W : Yes.JOHN A : page 165 of the manual: Although using the self-timer or Remote Switch can prevent camera shake, using mirror lockup to prevent camera vibrations (mirror shock) can also help when you use a super telephoto lens or shoot close ups (macro photography). 1 Set [Mirror lockup] to [Enable]. Under the [z2] tab, select [Mirror lockup], then press . Select [Enable], then press . 2 Focus the subject, then press the shutter button completely. The mirror will swing up. 3 Press the shutter button completely again. The picture is taken and the mirror goes back down. 2 Mirror Lockup N In very bright light such as at the beach or a ski slope on a sunny day, take the picture promptly after mirror lockup. Do not point the camera toward the sun. The sun’s heat can scorch and damage the shutter curtains. If you use the self-timer and bulb exposure in combination with a mirror lockup, keep pressing the shutter button completely (self-timer delay time + bulb exposure time). If you let go of the shutter button during the self-timer countdown, there will be a shutter-release sound, but no picture will be taken. During mirror lockup, shooting function settings and menu operations, etc. are disabled. Even if the drive mode is set to continuous shooting, only one shot can be taken. You can also use the self-timer with mirror lockup. If 30 seconds elapse after the mirror has locked up, it will go back down automatically. Pressing the shutter button completely again locks up the mirror again. For mirror lockup, using a tripod and Remote Switch RS-80N3 (sold separately) or Timer Remote Controller TC-80N3 (sold separately) is recommended (p.167). You can also use a remote controller (sold separately, p.167). Setting the remote controller to a 2-sec. delay is recommended. I have been using the 6D for 5 years - I would recommend going a few bucks more and get the mark II with the Adorama Pro kit
Mario R : Hello, I'd like to know if I can make a reservation of this camera from another country and purchase it back from NYC?ANDREW R : Responses on this Q&A system are from other customers, NOT Adorama employees (unless indicated by email or otherwise as "staff"). For best response regarding specific purchase inquiries please call 800-223-2500.
Shopper : How's the focusing on the camera? Is it quick or does if take a few seconds. I seen where some say it is slow.MORTON S : Auto focusing with the Canon 6D is not slow. This is a full frame SLR that is affordable and high quality.ARI W : The focusing isn't solely dependent on the camera, but also the lenses you use. The camera itself has pretty quick focusing, but that changes a great deal if you're using an STM lens, or a USM.DAVID G : I have owned the 6D for 3 years and found it to focus quicker than my 40D did. The only time the camera has issues is in extremely low light that most cameras would never focus in at all.THOMAS L : "A few seconds" is a very long time. The 6D focusing speed is OK to me. Takes less than a second -- split second. More expensive camera model may focus faster though.MICHAEL M : Not sports quick but haven't had any problems with birds, pets (when they cooperated), folks around the house.HEIDI W : The camera focuses quickly, but I would honestly say the speed and sharpness of the focus is going to have to do more with what lens you're using than anything. The lens it comes with (24-105) does focus well and fast!

Satisfied...

The body came in pristine condition. Low shutter count. I am loving my first full-frame body. It came intact. The battery charger isn't original but for that price, I can't complain. The battery is great. I am happy with my order. I recommend.

My missing link

I found this gem used in a pawn shop with a ridiculously low shutter count for the age of this camera (745. It has a few little cosmetic issues but nothing too serious. I really don’t know what I’d been missing until I picked this camera up. I’d been shooting crop for years and thought I was producing good work and I will keep that camera that’s still in excellent shape (t6i, 750d). This 6D is my new workhorse till it quits!!

Canon 6D - A Job Well Done - thank you Canon!

I have been shooting with this camera for a year, and it's low-light capabilities are just amazing. I have been a photographer since I could carry a camera. Eventually I will go for a 5D, or 1D*** but I simply love this camera. I will not part with it. I've shot both digital and traditional analog, on formats from 35mm up to large format 4X5. I shoot in RAW, and do my monochrome conversions in either DPP or Lightroom. All in all I'm quite pleased with the 6D. The shutter could have been faster, and as others have said there could have been more focusing points.

So happy I decided to upgrade! The SL1 was a great little camera, but the 6D was just the upgrade I needed.

Like New

I have a 6D and needed a backup body. The 6D serves me well in both personal and commercial work. I am confident this is a reliable addition.

Great Full Frame Body

I upgraded to the 6D from a crop mirrorless and am blown away by the increase in image quality. This camera performs well in low-light situations, and produces little noise up to ISO 1600. I have not yet pushed it outside of that range. Learning a Canon body took me a bit of time as I am used to shooting on a Panasonic. There was a definite learning curve in accessing all of the different camera controls. I wish there was a quicker way to adjust aperture while shooting, but I’m sure my fingers will become quicker in time. I love being able to quickly toggle focus. Overall, this is a great camera body.

excellent camera

I have the same camera for almost 4 years, I want to have another one for doing studio photos, and 6D is my choice because of its size, and color rendering. I also have a Rebel which is also great. But I definitely see the color range difference and the quality of photos between 6D and Rebel. I highly recommend 6D to any photographers!

Great deal on great camera

I'm excited to use this more. I have several lenses I used with a cropped sensor and now that I have a full frame, I can't wait to see the results. Loved the little extras included like a memory card, cleaning kit, and bag.

Best DSLR for the money!

The Canon 6d is a great camera I like it so much when I wore my old one out I bought it again! the combination of a full frame sensor and Wi-Fi capability built in makes my mobile business second to none.

An amazing camera at a great price.

If you are looking to move to a full frame camera and are worried about the investment, look no further. This is a great camera for the price, period!

Bang for the buck with some limitations ....

Only 11 AF points in 2013, so stingy of Canon, when even crop sensored 70D had 19 AF points. But if you know how to use'm, they do work fine. Still takes great images but maybe it's worth spending extra $200 to get MKII, now in Dec. 2018. Either way, a win-win for Canon users looking for FF bargain.

Great upgrade

I've had my eye on the 6D for awhile now. Finally upgraded from a rebel T6i, and I'm so glad I did! The difference in low lighting is amazing, and I'm happy to have a full frame now.

Under Rated!

I upgraded from the original 5D to the 6D for shooting landscapes. While there are many great options out there, the legendary low light ability of the original 6D won out for the ability to shoot astro work with such low noise. The only way I could be happier is if I had the same sensor in a mirrorless body!

Best budget full frame DSLR

Best budget full frame DSLR. Love the ease of use. The dynamic range is on the lower end compared to the Sony counterparts but the details are easy to pull when shot with RAW. Since I previously owned a 60D, this was a natural transition as the interface is pretty much same as 60D.

The 6D camera body is awesome!

I love my Canon 6d and it was definitely worth the price. I bought the Canon 50mm to go along with it and the two together take awesome photos! I get compliments on the pictures I take and it does really well in low light photography as well, which is one of the main reasons I purchased this particular body. I highly recommend the 6D!

great bang for the buck like me!

I bought this camera as a last minute purchase for a trip to Florida as my other camera body was in need of repair. I received the camera within 3 days as promised and the postage was free! I also got a great deal on this camera with savings of over $. I was very happy with the photos I took and this camera met all of my expectations. I would recommend this camera to any enthusiast who loves shooting landscapes, people, and wants a great bang for the buck like me!

Quality Full Frame Images, Affordable Price

Got this to backup my 5Dmkiii, lighter weight with a slightly smaller form factor, but with a quality (magnesium body) feel. I got this for astrophotography/Milky Way photos, but it might find its way into my landscape shots too, saving me from changing lens in dusty environments. Overall, very happy with the the purchase.

All I need

I couldn't be happier with my first full frame camera. I was so impressed with my Canon 6D, I quickly bought another one. I'm a wedding photographer so what better than two awesome cameras as opposed to one. I've been shooting professionally for ten plus years, all with canon crop sensor cameras. There's nothing wrong with aps-c cameras, but the full frame Canon 6D gives me more leeway when shooting in low light with high ISO, also there is a significantly higher dynamic range, which makes the most of each frame I shoot. I couldn't be happier...but if I had to change one thing, it would be more AF points, but I've been shooting long enough for that to be the least of my worries. I highly recommend anyone on the fence to pick one up while they last!

I AM OBSESSED!

It is literally so PERFECT! I was so iffy spending so much money online at a site I’ve never ordered before, but I was in tears when I opened the box because all of my hard work has paid off that I could treat myself to a new camera! I am so in love with it. Thank you so much!

Very Impressed with Refurbished Condition

I was skeptical of the condition of the camera body being refurbished. I am very particular about my equipment being in as best of condition as possible. With such a price cut, I was afraid I would receive a camera with some wear on it. I couldn't get past the price and really wanted to upgrade to a full frame camera in my personal equipment. I sucked it up and gave it a shot. Let me be clear in this. The camera body I received looked like it has never been used. I don't know the shutter count yet, but I will guess that it is very low because the camera body shows no signs of use. If you want a fantastic deal to bump up to the world of full frame cameras, this is the way to go!
