It helps me keep adding to this free website when you get your things through these links — but I receive nothing for my efforts if you buy elsewhere. Thanks for your support! Ken.

Canon 6D versus 5D Mark III.
Introduction top
|
|
The Canon EOS 6D is the world's smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR.
The Canon 6D is the world's second-best DSLR regardless of price, right behind the very similar Canon 5D Mark III.
If you're in the market for a full-frame DSLR for ultimate technical
quality and super-fast autofocus for action, but don't want to pay
extra for (or carry the weight of) the 5D Mark III, the 6D is about 95%
of the 5D Mark III for a lot less money. I own both, and see and feel
very little difference between them. (I also own the Nikon D600, which is inferior).
Even if the price was the same, the reduced weight
of the 6D often makes it a better choice for carrying all day.
Technical image quality is extraordinary and the same as the 5D Mark
III; megapixels mean nothing today,
and the 6D looks great even shot at ISO 25,600. With the 6D, you need
not spend extra for fast lenses, and with automatic lens aberration
correction, cheap lenses that didn't look very good on older cameras
like the old 5D Mark II now look stunning when used properly on the 6D.
At only 26.8 oz. (760g), the 6D weighs 7 oz. (200g) less than the 5D Mark III and 3.3 oz. (95g) less than the Nikon D600. The Nikon D600 is inferior, with worse handing, more weight, cheaper build and poorer color rendition, as I'll cover below.
Added from 5D Mark III
GPS.
Wi-Fi for almost everything except replacing a
card reader. You can view and email images directly from your smart
phone, and control the 6D remotely, all with a free app.
UHS-1 SD card compatible.
Interchangeable focus screens, especially the optional Eg-S super-precision manual-focus screen for use with fast lenses.
Improved from 5D Mark III
Slightly more sensitive central AF sensor in low light.
I prefer the simpler AF system of the 6D. Neither
camera has face recognition in its AF system, so the extra AF zones of
the 5D Mark III don't do much other than complicate the system beyond
all recognition.
Play, Zoom and Delete buttons moved to the right side for one-handed shooting.
Slightly better battery life: rated 1,090 versus 950 shots per charge.
Lost from 5D Mark III
11, not 61, AF zones.
Only one SD card slot.
Only C1 and C2 memories, no C3.
Finder grid requires using Live View, or an optional Eg-D finder screen.
No M-Fn button by the shutter button.
Slightly smaller LCD has plastic, not glass, cover and lacks auto brightness control.
No way to reset file number prefix; files always start with IMG. (I wish I could reset it to KEN or 6D.)
Only 1/4,000 top speed and 1/180 sync, versus 1/8,000 and 1/200 (no big deal).
$1,400 less expensive and 7 oz./200g lighter.
I wish that while playback was zoomed and
scrolled, that the SET button would bring you back to the center of the
image. (The 5D Mark III doesn't do this either.)
The Same
Everything else, especially metering, resolution,
high ISO performance and image quality, is essentially identical. The
slight differences in some specifications are used to try to help upsell
rich people into the more expensive 5D Mark III; they aren't
significant. The battery and charger are the same, too.
No, I'm not going to waste your time showing
side-by-side shots. I have real work to shoot, so no time to waste
presenting things that are the same. Each of the 5D Mark III and the 6D
look great even at ISO 25,600, and those of us who actually shoot
realize that ISO 25,600 is enough to shoot the sky at night hand-held with an f/4 lens,
so both have many stops more sensitivity than needed for real
photography. Camera makers are going to need to invent another
specification on which to compete.

Electronic Level top
Yes.
Autofocus top
No AF illuminator.
Movies
No continuous AF, as a camcorder can do.
Still Images
All this below is only for still photos:
11 AF points:
Center: cross-type at f/5.6; vertical line-sensitive at f/2.8.
Upper and lower AF points: vertical line-sensitive AF at f/5.6.
Other 8 AF points: Horizontal line-sensitive AF at f/5.6.
Center AF point rated to work from LV -3 ~ 18 at 73°F (23°C), others from LV 0.5.
No EOS iTR (Intelligent Tracking and Recognition), so it can't recognize subjects based on face and color as can the 1D X.
Light Meter top
Range: LV 1 or 1 to 20 at 73°F (23°C) with 50mm f/1.8 lens.
63-zone dual-layer meter. "Dual Layer" means it can't even see in full color; the 6D's an 5D Mark III's meters only see in warm and cool. Nikons have had 1,005 pixel full-color RGB meters since 1996.
The number of zones is irrelevant, what the firmware does with this data to determine exposure is far more important. My LEICA M9 only has one zone metering, and is more accurate than my Nikons or Canons, so what do you think about that, eh? Metering zones are irrelevant.
Flash top
No built-in flash.
Flash Sync is 1/180, which is within a half stop of 1/250.
