I see really no fault with this camera anymore, it delivers great images when used on the proper settings.
It is billed as an entry level full frame and is priced as such. However, for a serious hobbyist, this is such an outstanding camera. I'm quite happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it for anyone looking at a fantastic camera and not ready to drop $3K or more.
**Initial review**
I have never written a review for any product, but I liked this camera enough to take the time to write one.
A little background and disclosures, I have had this camera since december 6th 2013, so nearly 2 month in use and nearly a 3000 pictures taken. I come from two prior canon bodies, the XS for 4 years and the T4i for one year.
It took me a long time to decide between the Nikon D610, the sony A7 and this one. I finally when with this camera mostly because of my prior lenses and flash I had for my other canons, and I don't claim to compare this one to the two others. I read plenty of reviews comparing all three and for those who are looking for a comparison here you might as well google more professional reviews than mine.
The bottom line for me after reading all the reviews was that these were great cameras producing great images, therefore, since I had already accessories, I went with Canon.
Concerning my needs and why the need to upgrade from the T4i to this one was low light shooting indoors of my one year old. I was very unsatisfied with the low light capabilities of the T4i and the iso at 1600 looked too noisy for me. Otherwise, it was a great camera that served me well.
Now, to the camera.
Since I said low light was an issue for me, I took the camera and immediately snapped picture of my living room with no flash. It was dark enough and the auto iso went to 12800. I thought, Ok, it will probably be terrible but let's try. When I looked on my 27" screen at the result I was surprised. The picture was noisy sure but it was comparable to the results I got from my T4i at 1600 iso.
So from there I started expecting great things from this camera and therefore I was disappointed rather quickly.
I started using the kit lens which is an L lens and theoretically should be very good, but I found my 50 mm 1.4 produced way nicer images indoors. Outdoors, the 24-105 mm produced great images and proves obviously more versatile, I guess it's unfair to compare both these lenses since the 50 mm 1.4 is such a great lens anyways. But, in my mind, I thought an L lens should be way better than a cheap 50 mm that I got on amazon for $290.
Now, the wifi and GPS.
I have tried using the GPS, and I'm sure it can be helpful, but after I saw it draining my battery in one day while on standby, I just turned it off and decided to turn it on only when needed (like when traveling). The problem with this is that I went to DC took nearly a thousand pictures and forgot that it was off. Therefore, no geotagging for the whole trip (Granted, I can add that info later since I know where the pics were taken, but you get catch my drift). So I don't like how the GPS stays on when your turn off the camera, this really limits battery life. When turned off, my battery lasts for days.
The Wifi is arguable more useful, and the iPhone app is quite easy to use. However, I have had problems connecting to it using the camera as a router. It proved a little bit finicky where I would find it in the wireless networks but then it would disappear just when I connected to it. Weird, I'm probably doing something wrong here. Otherwise, when I connect the camera to my home network, My iPhone finds it and takes pictures and everything, no problems.
I have not used it much though and I still need to find a smoother way to use it to automatically import my pictures into iPhoto. Currently, when it imports them it puts each picture in a new event, creating mayhem in my library. I have tried the eyefi card before on my T4i and it imported automatically with very little effort on my part and it kept my library well organized. Again, this is software issue but after tinkering with it for a while I couldn't solve that problem so for now I just pop my SD into my IMac, it's faster anyways.
Handling
The camera is quite large compared to my two previous bodies, so for me I felt this is the heaviest camera I have ever used. So I know how this is advertised as the smallest full frame DSLR in the world, but to me, and many people like me, we won't get to feel this way because we are coming from the opposite direction, from cropped sensors and point and shoot. However, despite it being large (again all is relative in this world) it didn't bother me much even when I have my Speedlite 430 EX II, as long as I don't carry it around my neck for a while. It's heavy enough that I actually carry it on my hand and in my bag most of the time as opposed to the XS or T4i where I could keep them for an hour or two with no problems around my neck. So for people looking at buying a small therefore light to travel camera, you need to realize that it is still a heavy camera, especially with the 24-105 mm attached to it! When I put the 50 mm on, it actually is way lighter and more friendly to my neck, but then you lose on versatility.
The buttons, dials, wheel are easy to use and self explanatory. Since I am not a pro photographer, I can't really comment on what's missing and how it affects workflow, for me, it works quite well and is ergonomic enough.
Picture quality
That's why you get a large sensor right? I was disappointed initially because I didn't get the mind blowing images right off the bat. This is when I realized that this camera needs more knowledge to make a good picture than before. I admit I used the auto modes on my other cameras, and on this one I decided to use it mostly manual and aperture priority. So getting all the settings, exposure, aperture, shutter speed, iso etc, right is very important. When I get them right, I get outstanding pictures. However, I feel that there is a learning curve and obviously this camera can deliver great quality, I just need to work harder to get them from it.
Now, the best part about this camera is the low light performance. I now routinely push the ISO to 1600, and I know my images will still be sharp and well exposed. The images are very good up till 10 000 iso, and some say usable at 12800. I have not tried 25600, but I bet they won't be that great. So I am very happy with that part, especially that most of the time I am taking pictures of my kid running around the house where lighting is not that great. Paired with my speedlite 430, I produce great images. (remember to bounce the flash of a wall to avoid the harsh shadows)
Autofocus.
Lot's of talk about the lack of points. But I came from the T4i, so it was still an upgrade for me. Since I use the camera in aperture priority most of the time, I also use the center point for focus 99% of the time. This works very well for still subjects. However, a one year old is rarely still and this is where my 24-105 mm with a max aperture of 4 fails sometimes miserably. When I pair it with my 50 mm, I get more consistent results of my running kid, but it still takes some effort to do so. I was expecting a little bit more forgiveness from the camera. Apparently I need to work more on getting a faster shutter rate, which means pushing my ISO higher which I don't really like to do even if the results are still outstanding.
I have not tried the 5D mark III but now I'm curious.
I will probably update this review at a later time when I figured out more of how to get more consistent results from this camera.
Since I still feel that I didn't get everything that I wanted (maybe because of my own ignorance of how to use it) I gave it a 4 star review. This might change in the future.
The bottom line is this is a great camera than can produce great images, but it needs some serious effort on the photographer's part (which I guess is normal)
My opinion is that when you buy a camera and start to add on lenses, flashes and accessories, you are starting a system and the longterm plan needs to include knowing that the company that made the product, is going to stand behind it. I am now of the opinion that Canon has a completely different way of handling such issues. Looking at the canon website, it includes actual service advisories and clear disclosure of known issues. No such luck with nikon. One check of the website and no mention of any problems. Along with the poor QC and customer service, nikon has now started to use impact damage as another excuse to cash in.
Now if you are on the fence about which camera D600/D610 vs 6D, I can honestly tell you that the 6D is the system to invest in unless you have an absolute need of the dynamic range of the d610.
The 6D is well made, the design and fit to me is better, the AF system has been great in my testing so far, the wifi system is a time/lifesaver in studio shoots, no lubricant/debris splatter, sharp sharp images out of the camera and just an overall great package. The D600/D610 offers dual slot cards and better dynamic range. I am
In total disagreement about the D600 af system. between my two D600's, I had shot over 20,000 photos (weddings) and I can tell you that the canon has less cross type points on paper but the hit rate on the canon is far more. I would also get random backfocus on the d600 under tungsten lighting which I have not seen with the 6D. The 6D center af sensor point is good to -3 EV and I can confirm that It works in almost complete darkness. It is just amazing. No random hunting on the 6D focus system compared to the D600.
At the end of the day, I feel that canon is one step behind nikon on dynamic range but miles ahead on quality control and customer service. I feel if you are starting from the ground up, you would be very happy with canons offerings. I switched to canon and sold all my nikon gear at a huge loss because I could no longer deal with nikons careless way of dealing with issues.
You have to ask yourself what matters to you more? Dynamic range/dual card slots or a system that actually works (the way it should) and much better customer service/QC?
I will be also getting a 5D mark III which will make the 6D a great companion for wedding work. Sorry nikon but no more of my money!
Update: 06/2018 after years of owning this camera, I can still say with absolute confidance that I am very happy with my purchase. I ended up also buying a 5d mark iii as a second body but sold it when I needed the money. I now went and bought a second 6d as a backup. The 6d version 2 came out a while back but I still stuck to the original 6d cause it actually has better image performace reviews. I dont really shoot sports and never had the real crazy need for the 5d mark iii advanced focus tracking. I have shot my kids soccer/basketball games once in a while with this camera and never had focus issues. I dont think having a crazy focusing system is as critical in my line of work which is primarily weddings. I would still HIGHLY recommend this camera to anyone and think it is the best full frame value on the market. Get it while they still male it brand new!

UPDATE: Yup no warranty or probably paid work either, from Canon, if something should go wrong. The camera is great and makes great photos. No regrets. Had photos done up to 24x36 inches and the results are excellent. Something to be said about full frame camera. Don't think I could go back to smaller sensors.
