Well crap I did it.... bye bye 6D... hello 5D3!

I have this question for 6d owners.. If money wasn't an issue or they were both the same price which one would you choose??

No doubt...5D3. BTW, size is an issue every time you pick up the camera to take a pic...nothing else necessarily is.

Really there is a big jump in loss from the 5D3 12,800 to 25,600 where the 6D holds it's own. I don't always need that high ISO but it's nice to know the 6D holds detail/color/noise better

That and lower price the reason for all the haters.

Moltengold!! Don't belittle Bakewell's prized 6D... he'll cry. (*cute, eh?)

I can't
because i like the 6D too
the 6D makes all the photos very clear from all the lenses even from the cheapest lens 50mm f/1.8 II

Well the only solution is to keep the 6D, add the 5D3 and also add the 70D and most possibly include the 1Dx also.

This will shut all you up.

Rest what case? That you can't accept a situation where anyone in this World doesn't dearly love the 6D?

6D without a doubt. It is a Goldilocks camera for me. Not too big, not too small, just right. It is brilliantly simple and effective. Light and comfortable to hold. The AF works perfectly fine for my needs. Landscapes, action and the odd portrait. The controls are spot on for my hands. And when I shoot some photos in dim dark difficult lighting conditions, it absolutely floors me what I can achieve. I can easily afford the 5D3, even both, but deliberately chose the 6

I tend to think his inability to accept that many of us want more from a body than the 6D can provide leads us to be "haters". That is definitely not the case as each of us has their own criteria of what we either want or need in a body.

Where's the rest of the group?

Did you ever get around to taking and posting some photos with the outer focusing points of the 6d set to ai servo? I could have sworn I saw you at last night's hockey game taking pics with all the other sports photogs.

You definitely stood out among all the other shooters that had either the 1d or d3 bodies. Of course I think you like to stand out, don't you?

I have to say 6d, due to size and ease of use. I just sold my 5dii just to go lighter. I think the 5diii would be heavier and more complex.

If we all wanted/needed the same camera gear, Canon would only have to have one model. Lots of choices for lots of different needs. Too bad we cannot all respect each others' choices.

Happy Shooting!

You now understand why some people doesn't love the 6D? That's great.

By the way - a bit of googling would be able to tell you where that title comes from. But I bet you aren't interested in the true background/meaning of things.

Why would I post pics using the outer points? I would never attempt that, and neither should anyone else. IMO, use AI Servo Automatic only on the 6D for moving subjects...

Are you acknowledging that the outer points on 6D are unreliable for moving subjects and therefore shouldn't be used at all?

And if you really think ai servo automatic is more accurate/precise/easie​r then you can't be anymore wrong I'm afraid.....

On 6D you really only have one option - single center point for moving subjects.
