The EOS 6D is priced at around 1600 euros, and is the cheapest candidate in this test, as well as the only one that offers both a WLAN module for wireless communication as well as a GPS receiver for geotagging and recording the Reiseroute.
Housing
The case of the EOS 6D is made of magnesium alloy at the front and back, like the D810 and A7S, but at the top of plastic. With 750 g without a lens, the EOS is located between the lighter mirrorless A7S and the heavier D810. However, Canon waived the flash-out flash. The LP-E6 lithium-ion battery is supposed to have 13WH or 1800mAh for 1090 photos, which is almost the same as the long battery life of the D810.
Performance and Autofocus
On the back, Canon has a large 3.2-inch TFT monitor, which is particularly convincing in good conditions. The roof edge prism viewfinder displays the subject with an effective 0.7x magnification, but covers only 97% of the image field. In addition, the LCD element is missing in the beam path to show grid lines, but instead the EOS 6D allows you to change the matte.
Video recording
The electronically controlled slot shutter allows exposure times up to 1/4000 s, leaving less room than the A7S and D810. It can only record at 4.4 B / s, but it does not stop the JPEG series until the memory card is full. Compared to the A7S, the short switch-on delay of 0.3 instead of 2.5 s is particularly positive. And the tripping delay is also OK (0.35 / 0.42 s at 1000/30 lux). In doing so, however, it employs a phase autofocus system, which is leanly equipped with 11 fields including a cross sensor. In addition, in Live View mode, it sets a negative record with its slow contrast AF (2.2 sec. Fade-out delay).
Operating concept
During the film, the EOS 6D is the only one of the three test candidates to pull the sharpness not continuously, but only on tact pressure and then little accurate and disturbing. The quality of the full-HD videos can not be synonymous with that of Nikons D810 to keep up: Although the films show little picture noise, but they lack both fine drawing and dynamic. In addition, disturbing moiré effects and color errors often occur.
Like the Nikon D810, the EOS 6D has an additional display on its upper side, which always informs about camera data and important recording settings. Canon also positions four function buttons, which can be used to change parameters such as the autofocus and the operating mode in combination with the thumbwheel. The setting monitor (viewfinder operation) and the Quick View (Live-View), which is displayed over the preview, allow a series of direct interactions without a detour via submenus
In terms of picture quality, the EOS 6D can not quite keep up with the two newer opponents. Although it offers the best dynamics, which reaches its maximum with ISO 800 with 10.7 apertures and even with ISO 12800 is still 9.0 apertures. However, she buys the high dead-leave values with artificially inflated contrasts, resulting in point deduction. The noise increases from a moderate 0.5 VN at ISO 100 to only 1.4 VN at ISO 12 800. But this also has its shadow side: high kurtosis values up to 4.0 are indicative of considerable texture losses and comparatively weak fine-tuning at the highest ISO figures - but this is criticism at a very high level.
The Canon EOS 6D is one of the most affordable full-size cameras currently available on the market, with WLAN and GPS. The Canon EOS 6D is worth the price even though it is very hard to adjust the JPEG images at low ISO numbers, the DL values Thereby artificially upgraded and thus falls behind the scores behind the Nikon D810 and the Sony A7S.
