Thanks Andres, Been loving it as all around FF camera, i chose this over the 5D3 for multiple reasons...mainly i didn't need 61 AF points since i only use center, and also needed something that could focus in super low light (6D center point is sensitive to -3EV), not to mention it makes ISO 12,800 look like my 60D's ISO 800 :lol:

Quick off topic examples...

This is shot at F/2 1/125 @ ISO 10,000...No post NR...it handles it in camera :)

Thanks George :) I'm beyond impressed with it's low light capabilities.

Thanks Lester :) I typically don't use it for macro, but the location i was shooting this cat was pretty low light and i knew the 60D would never be able to attain focus (I cheat and use AI servo for everything because i know i'm not steady enough to use manual :lol: )

The only drawback i really see about using this camera for macro is it's limited to a 1/180 FSS, not a big deal for slow moving cats, but a little too slow for neurotic bees :D

Nice set, excellent detail. I might just suggest making the colour temperature a little cooler. It shows up as a little too warm on my monitor.

very impressive performance at hi ISO, I was reading about the Bluetooth capability of the 6D, you can sink with your phone and use as a live view... very nice toy!

Thanks Paul, my cheap uncalibrated monitor plays tricks on me :lol:

Thanks Andres, it actually uses WiFi, at first i thought this would be a pointless feature, but the more i use it the more awesome i find it :D
