Oh crap it is the 7D II wrong thread, sorry.

Apologies for resurrecting an old post, but I felt I had something to add.

I too notice that colours from the 6D are slightly cooler than those from the 5D (i've had both), however, that's the only difference. All I need to do is add one notch towards the yellow side of the warmth slider in LR to correct this. That's it.

Having said that, since I bought my Tamron 24-70 2.8, I haven't needed to do this very often. It's almost like having a slightly warm CPL permanently fixed to the lens. Colour-wise, all I do now is knock the vibrance up a bit (+5).

I don't miss my old 5D at all, now. It was a great camera, but the 6D surpasses it in every way as far as IQ is concerned.

I've made my peace with the colors at this point. I have a couple of presets in LR that work pretty well to give me roughly the colors I'm looking for.

You're right, the 6D is a really brilliant camera and a great allrounder. Battery life and AF speed are staggeringly better than the 5D and the 6D feels like a much more responsive camera. Plus I am way more confident taking the 6D in a variety of lighting situations, one less thing to worry about.

After complaining about the camera, I feel like the least I can do is post a recent pic with it. I had two Christmas themed newborn sessions mid December this year. (Bear with me as I can’t get on Flickr at work)

Canon 6D with Canon EF 50 f/2.5 compact macro with life size adaptor. No tripods allowed in local botanical garden, so very shallow depth of field and not as sharp as they could be. Purple flowers are <0.25 in diameter.

Would they allow a monopod?

Great Tit.

Your shots are great. The images have very accurate colors. You obviously know what your doing, but I was wandering how much of the true color renditions can you contribute to the 6D sensor (I know lens choice also plays a role)? I've just switched from 2 7Ds to 2 6Ds but because of the time of year I've only used the 6D for indoor sports & can't wait until spring to get out into the woods & see my results.
