Shot with the 40mm 2.8 stm pancake lens.

Canon Pancake??

Yup Ive found the answer hmmm might invest in one for walkabout lens

Yeahp it's dirt cheap, pretty nifty lens.

I am planning to get the 6D, was initially thinking of 5D Mark III, but I will be happy with the size, weight and price of 6D. I wanted to ask you guys, if I have 17-40 F4, 24-105 F4 and 70-200 F4 as my lens selection with this camera, is that going to be fine or not? Primarily I shoot landscape, family potraits and night photography. Currently I have a 60D. Thanks

If you want to get it, it still has a $50 rebate making it only $150. Great little lens for the price!

I think that would be a fine selection that covers 17mm - 200mm. It wouldn't hinder you at all. Anything beyond that would be primes and specialty lenses.

I've shot with the 17-40L even though I don't have one, and it's nice and sharp. You already have the 24-105L so you know about it. I've had mine for about a week since I got my 6D and am very impressed with it!

Both of these can cover landscapes and night photography, and the 24-105L and your 70-200 can cover portraits, and the 70-200 will cover the rest, the occasional shot where you need some zoom.

3 More from todays walk around. Straight Out of Camera no editing.

The high ISO performance of this camera continues to impress me

I thought the photo from 550D is in fact sharper? Look at the wall paper(?), I can see the lines clearly whereas the one taken by the 6D is blur. Different focal length used on the 2 photos?

You can see the EXIF data on the original images on Flickr. Totally different lenses and focal lengths.

6D: EF 100mm Macro @ 100mm
550D: EF-S 55-250mm @ 60mm

He was mainly addressing the question about underexposure though, so this works fine.

MF-G,

Those high-ISO shots are pretty amazing. Are those SOOC JPEG? Or SOOC RAW->JPEG? And I assume you didn't apply any NR in PP?

I opened the CR2 RAW files in Canon DPP, set luminance noise reduction to 0 (I don't like the way it smooths detail) and set the chrominance noise reduction to 4 (gets rid of any bright blue specks). I then exported to 16bit TIFF, opened in Lightroom and published from there at 1250px wide.

Wonderful pictures, and truly a wonderful camera.

beautiful images,,,,,,,,, definitely a very nice camera, any 6D users tried the 85L f1.2 yet on the camera? if so, please elaborate on the combo, much appreciated!

So tempted to pick this up tomorrow morning... ughh

I wish I had more time to go do more testing. Damn work

IIRC, I think someone might have posted one or two shots in the People section in the Natural Light Photography thread. I don't have time to look right now though.
