Any thoughts on the Canon 24-70 f/4 IS? Or a particular reason why the sigma would be a better option? I know it has been a while since this has been posted :)
Under very sad circumstances I have become the proud owner of a 6D and a wealth of lenses and other equipment. I have an uncle that has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and he wanted to give me his camera equipment before he passes. Up until now I have really only dabbled in photography, always meaning to knuckle down and do the home and field work to get the most from the hobby. I want to do my uncle's incredible generosity and kindness justice by using the camera and equipment properly and your excellent video has given me the start I needed - Thank you
I know it’s been 4 years but bro. Shoot. Send me your IG and ill react every time you post. I got this camera today for a bargain and I’m gonna shoot the hell out of it. Do it too man. Shoot for your uncle.
I know, this is an older camera. We asked people what cameras they wanted tutorials for, and they wanted to see the 6D and D750. They're still current, very popular, and they pre-date this video format. So, at the request of hundreds of people, we made these tutorials.
Thank you Tony & Chelsea, I just bought mine (Canon 6D) a week ago purely because of the price point and entering into full frame. I'm really loving it!!
Mahler8 I guess it depends on what you are using it for, in terms of full frame value nothing in the market that I know off right now. I just love how great this works with ISO and low light. winner for me.
Yes! There's always more to learn, and we never know where or when it will be revealed. Even though I have been shooting 41 years I learn things watching this channel. Everyone's knowledge [and skill] has gaps. Tony and Chelsea helped me find several of mine.
I’m here in 2024 diving back into photography. This is a great refresh! I recently purchased a used 6D. it’s what I used before and I know it relatively well, I agree with you. This video was great.
I just bought a Canon 6D secondhand, and I can't tell you how grateful I am for this video. Excellent presentation, extremely well-thought-out, and very informative. Thank you very much!
Been eying on this camera for almost 9 years. Saw this back in highschool. Now, employed. Finaly got the spare cash to buy one. Got a second hand for just 375 dollars. What a steal.
I have been taking pictures since I was a kid with an old brownie, then to 35 mm manual then to film now to a Canon 6D. I am 69 years old and I still love learning new things and you taught me some very good things in this video. You’re an excellent teacher,you’re very natural, and you know your stuff. Thank you very much.
Tony, I hope you read this. But I find your videos very informative. Photography was always a hobby of mine, I don't have a school to learn this stuff from since I study economics. Your videos are a tremendous help for me to become a better photographer. I love taking pictures, more than anything in this world. I learned all the basic and more "advanced" stuff from your channel; Like histograms, lenses, bodies, how to frame, etc... This message is simply a small thank you for that. I love how informative your videos are, very well done and put together. Please keep doing this, I'll watch every upcoming video of yours. If it's 10 hours or 20 seconds, I will probably watch all of it. Thank you!
I am not a pro, just a hobbyist but I have been using Canon DSLRs for years. I like to watch Tony's tutorials before a vacation or a family get together so I can follow along with my cameras and get back up to speed and get some good pictures. I find these videos extremely helpful and useful.
I love when my camera beeps Tony. That focus confirmation makes me happy and totally let's everyone else know that they better give me some super fake smiles man.
I just bought a used 6d, and know nothing about taking pictures with it, but I did quite a bit of research on this model before I bought it. I want to do multiple exposures, and this camera will do them, and actually was recommended as the best for this purpose if you are going digital. The books for "Dummies" are expensive for this camera, so I took a chance and went on RUclips, and presto, there your video was as if it was made just for me. Thank you so much for making this learning curve a little easier for me.
You're an unbelievable tutor and for FREE! SO SO SO SO grateful for you and this video. Super informative. Why even go to school when I can just learn from your videos.
I already knew everything I saw in this video. I have no intention of getting a full frame Canon. I shoot Nikon. Yet still I love watching this. Seeing how Tony explains all these concepts is watching a master at work. Compelling viewing!
I have been looking at buying this camera for concert photography for the past 5 months Am now convinced it will cover the job as I have a lot of festival work coming up
Thank you for uploading 6D menu tour. I bought this camera couple of months before. And I am really happy with this. This is an awesome camera. And never face problems with 11 focus points. I just click the photo and results are outstanding.
I've been taking photos for about 10 years on a 650D then 90D and finally took the plunge into full frame when I found a bargain 6D for $100. I am totally loving it and am watching this now to make sure there's nothing I am missing in my knowledge. Tony: "you probably don't have more than one 6D, right?" Me, a 6D ape with two now and planning to buy more "...uhhh"
I just ordered a 6D, since my student wallet doesn't support more :D I also have about 18 years of canon experience, so I'm just watching this because I'm so hyped for my new camera! This camera is still a pretty good choice for beginners, or poor people like me :)
It's a fantastic camera. Glad you guys did a video, there isn't much content related to it in particular. I know it inside and out at this point but for anyone looking for an affordable full frame you can't beat the image quality.
I cannot express my gratitude for this video fully enough- huge thanks! You've distilled the info in the rather baroque Canon manual into clear, concise, logical, easily-assimilable blocks. This is definitely one of the best how-to videos- of any type- I've seen on RUclips. Really grateful for your effort here, if only because I will never again use anything but back button focus. Chapeau, as we say in the old country!
I've just bought myself a used 6D. Yeah, I know it's old but at the end of the day it's an awesome piece of kit. I think photography is more about the image, rather than on what bit of kit the image was recorded with.
hey! im a 15 year old boy and i got my 6d as my first dslr camera. To be honest i dont know much about photography but this video helped me out so much! I wanted to thank you for this video
Ive been using a t3i for 7-8 years ( a year or two 8 years ago to film skateboarding with a rokinon fisheye and just recently to get photos while riding motorcycles). I just picked up a 6d and this video is beyond perfect to learn from. Will definitely go through more and more of your videos. THANK YOU
Thanks Tony for these resources. I bought my first full frame 6D against the newer 6D Mark2 model. I have watched your Canon 6D Overview tutorial and can honestly say you’re very knowledgeable and this is the manual Canon should have included in the box. I have now purchased the PDF version of your “Stunning Digital Photography” book and I’m blown away at how good the book is. Thank you firstly for helping me to learn to use my 6D properly and only in a day and secondly for the rewarding photography journey I will now embark on with all the help from your books and guidance.
What a superb lecture this is! It is more than rare to find such an interesting explanation on any subject on RUclips. It takes time to find the right documentation for any subject. This one is the best. I have no hesitation to give 10 out of 10 points for this great performance and knowledge. Well done.
Glad to see this! The 6D is by far the most bang for the buck you can get in photography. Its sensor is phenomenal. And that center focus point is DOPE.
I bought this Camera 2.5 years ago and never found a detailed video such as this. It was review for me but picked up a couple of tidbits. Wish this video was out then. Thanks Tony
Seriously considering purchasing the 6D as my first full frame camera, in part because of it's capability for astrophotography. Great to see this overview of the camera!
I bought one used last year as an upgrade to full frame. Was about 900 euros and the lenses are not too expensive (canon has a very good prime lineup). I think it's up to the subject. For still subjects (astro, portrait, landscape) it is very good. It's really amazing to see all this detail and the good controls layout on the camera if you come from mid-range consumer cameras.
The D7200 isn't a full frame camera though like the 6D? That disavows it automatically for me. The 6D excels at low light photography and with the full frame sensor, it's a great entry level full frame body for night sky photography and astrophotography. If anything a comparative Nikon would be the d750 but I've already invested in the Canon EF glass.
Thanks for the information, still objects will certainly be the primary subject for me. I was intending to purchase pre-owned and with the 6Dmk2 surely on the way soon I'm hoping for a further reduction on the 6D prices.
To put some perspective to this and what you get for the money, remember that Professionals used the EOS-D1 for their corporate work back in the days and shot fantastic images. The list-price was 6500 Eur and the resolution was a meagre 4 MegaPixel only. I have shot on many models over 30 years including pre-digital, and I will now get myself a new body again for photography (no video). Since I don't shoot fast action buying a 6D is a no brainer + I know it will last me years to come and quality of images will be top notch. Today... a second hand 6D is exceptional value for the money. UPDATE, I now had two 6D bodies that BOTH failed me. I got a tried and tested model instead, 5Dii has been used and abused by many professionals over the years so got this instead. I have not looked back, and I'm hard pressed to do any major difference in the noise etc as long as I don't pixel peep 100% or above. No regrets going 5dii instead.
Thank you so much for making this video. I recently upgraded from APS-C to Full sensor, and what a huge difference in low light situation. I had the opportunity to purchase the 6D mark II, but there wasn't any ISO performance improvement over the Mark I, so I am very happy with my 6D. I really hope Canon can up their game related to all the quality issues with their newer Full frame cameras.
I have a canon 6D and your video had answered some of the questions I have been trying to figure out. I still have a lot I need to learn. I will keep checking out your videos.
After being let down with an online purchase for a 6D Mark ii, I purchased a used 6D and had enough change to get a new 16-35L f4 IS and a curry! Thanks Tony :-)
Thank you so much, this is a very useful video for me. I bought 6D for two months and this video came as savior. I got your book SDP and helps me a lot.
Tony and chelsea! You are both very knoledgeable about all these things, i am very impressed with it all. I started with film cameras, but do have one or two digital cameras. I even did a course with new york institute of photography base in brighton in uk, during 1980s. Even sold some images to an agency all on film. But digital i am not so hot on apart from basic things, thats why i use film mostly i know how it works. Thank you for doing these videos they are very helpfull.
Thanks Tony, that was fantastic. I've had my 6D for a year now and love it, even with its few shortcomings. Your tutorial was great because it showed me real life features, like how to get quickly into the different autofocus modes and how useful the "Q" button is. Gonna go out and try out my newly learned tricks.
This is the most efficient and well presented theme I have ever seen in my life I must absolutely congratulate you Not a single word wasted No so this so that or constant umming I have just subscribed Your a one off Brother I’m also going to purchase this camera , I’m a beginner and you have produced a complete guide to using this great camera I just want to thank you so much Tony Superb !!!!!!
This is great! I posted a link on the Canon 6D Facebook page. There's always someone posting getting a new 6D. I've had mine for a year and this was so helpful. Thanks so much Tony.
Awesome vid! Had my 6D for a year or so, but still had some things I learned in here. Note for people looking for a better deal on the batteries, look for the "accessories kit" for canon to go on sale, often it's less than just the battery on its own, and then you can usually sell the rest of the kit for a bit to recoup even more. :)
Thank you so much for an honest and detailed review of camera and lens. Have just bought both the 6D and sigma lens based on your recommendations and review.
I always struggle with camera work but I have to learn cause i'm doing journalism... and I wear glasses... when you mentioned the diopter feature i literally screamed yhaaaas! Thank yo so much this tutorial is doing wonders for me.
Thanks for the excellent tutorial Tony. I just purchased a condition 9+ 6D for the express purpose of astrophotography. Your tutorial provided some great insight.
Thanks Tony and Chelsea, I purchased this camera as a Christmas present and found this video really useful and informative. Keep up the excellent work.
Absolutely super appreciate this video it's got so much information I just picked up a 6D mark 1 and you've answered so many questions I had I strongly recommend watching this video
Thanks so much for this tutorial Tony. I've had my 6d for 3 years and finally found a tutorial that i could understand. And this was mainly due to you speaking at a normal speed. Why do a lot of people speak so fast these days or have annoying noise that interferes with the speech?? Thanks heaps.
I had this camera since launch and learned a few awesome things here. My question is who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Awesome overview. Thanks Tony.
i've been bumbling through the settings of the 6D i bought, and this organized tutorial (which I can skip the parts I didn't need help with) is both informative and comforting. i'd love it to also cover custom settings... sometimes I'm in a situation where i'm shooting back and forth and could use a custom setting for the scenarios. (eg. shooting where a lot of sky is in the picture and I'm compensating for the change in light). I never knew that the pricey 24-70 2.8 doesn't have image stabilization. (I bought the f4, which does but i could use the faster lens). Thanks for the sygma recommendation, i often can use a lens with more reach. thanks so much for this video.
You guys are my favorite! Always learning sooo much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! An hour and a half long video like this couldn't be more interesting!!! Time flied so fast!
Thankyou dear lady. It did help. I was able to update the firmware. Only one miner suggestion. Do not copy the zipped fireware file in DCIM directory.; copy it in the root directory of your SD card.
Just my 2 cents on the 6D. Have had it for 2 years and have been using it for portraits mainly. Have taken on vacation and it's been fantastic for scenery and landscapes. I have never been able to get GPS to connect. Don't need it so no big deal for me. Outer focus points are not great. Sometimes it's me and sometimes it's the camera (shooting fast shutter - f7-9). I did have to send the camera back to have the autofocus replaced last fall - outer points were off by a mile. If you are considering a camera for portrait work, you may want to consider a used 5D3 for around the same price as the outer focal points extend out from the center further and out to the corners.
maybe i should get myself one, i've had my 550d for 7 years now and have been thinking about upgrading to full frame for at least 5 years. getting a used one now for
Thank you so much for this video! I just purchased a used EOS 6D. Fantastic camera and I'm learning to really use it. Your tutorial was extremely helpful.
I too have been a big fan of the Godox strobes. One thing i noticed (and just picked one up) is that Neewer is now selling the Godox strobe at Amazon for a considerable discount. (I think it was $469) As you say, i am sure the support isn't great but it is compatible with the rest of my Godox remotes/strobes/flashes and considerably cheaper.
Thank you so much for this review, i used this camera in a wedding photography and must say that now i know about 6D and in coming events will keep in my mind all of it's options . :)
I love you guy's, I bought the 6d and the Sigma based on your tutorial Tony, I'm very happy, it's my first full frame ever and it's awesome, Thank You!
Wow!!! One hell of a full frame to start with. Congrats! I started with a Canon 5D Mark 1... And though it was great boy did I ever want a 6D!! Godspeed!
This is a very underrated camera. It has had all these features since 2011. The same features that the new mirrorless companies claim are "technological breakthroughs". Lol
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I’ve never been good at reading how to do something technical, I need to see it while I do it, and I was utterly lost trying to figure out how to work my “new” (to me) camera. This has helped tremendously! I look forward to watching your other videos.
I own a Canon 80D but now i want a full frame body and i honestly don't know which one to choose. My budget is maximum 1400 euros. I hesitate between a Nikon D610 and a Canon 6D and Tony thank you so much for all your videos.
Nice video. It goes into basic fundamentals of photography rather than just being strictly a camera overview. I have had the 6D for over a year now and definitely it is a cut above the 70D. Especially for still subjects, street photography and landscapes. And I did learn something from the 25 minutes that I viewed; exactly how to use the diopter...thanks! Oh, also need to mention I checked out the first few wanderlust travel videos and they are very well done!
Nice job Tony, as always. I work with 6D like 3 years and I can easily take a ceremony with a sigma Art 35mm f1,4 in a very dark restaurant/room with almost no light on ISO 2500-3200 (downscaled to 1080 ofcourse) and the pics are clean sharp. My 7D has much better AF but who cares for landscapes or portraits? You are my favourite youtubers, and I really appreciate your patient and clean explanations. I alwasy wanted to ask what is Your background (education)? Do you have a teacher's degree? You are very lucky guy having such a pretty/smart wife/with such a sense of humour and nice fam. I wish You successfull new year and all the best from Budapest (Western Asia).
Spot metering is the best for taking Nice portrait also if i have a back light from the sun and the suject is dark...also for macro..i love it...is not old school..it is perfect..
I finally got to the end of RUclips... So, I decided to watch this. 6D??(i kid, i kid) I ALWAYS learn something watching these videos so absolutely love 'em. Thanks!

How is it going 4 years on?
I know it’s been 4 years but bro. Shoot. Send me your IG and ill react every time you post. I got this camera today for a bargain and I’m gonna shoot the hell out of it. Do it too man. Shoot for your uncle.
Hope you're still shooting those memories? Your uncle would love to see them.

WOW, I watched this and I don't even have a Canon 6D or want one, but loving your dedication to educating, Tony. Hats off
Thank you. I learned more in an hour of your tutorial than an afternoon of Canon's guides.
I love when my camera beeps Tony. That focus confirmation makes me happy and totally let's everyone else know that they better give me some super fake smiles man.
Love my 6D - the hobbyist's full frame.
Still using it in 2018. I think Hollywood is starting to get jealous.
Just got mine
@@Ecfotografy The Pros full frame. its still amazing

What a superb lecture this is! It is more than rare to find such an interesting explanation on any subject on RUclips. It takes time to find the right documentation for any subject.

Glad to see this! The 6D is by far the most bang for the buck you can get in photography. Its sensor is phenomenal. And that center focus point is DOPE.
It is.
But on focus, only the center focus point works in most conditions. Other focus points are iffy.
I have paired my 6d with prime 200 mm f2.8 & oh boy it gives really stunning results.... detail and bokeh are so amazing..
I bought this Camera 2.5 years ago and never found a detailed video such as this. It was review for me but picked up a couple of tidbits. Wish this video was out then. Thanks Tony

Great to see this overview of the camera!
HubbleFunk Thought about buying this camera earlier today. Great to find a. Ideo like this.
HubbleFunk you're better with like a nikon d7200 + sigma 18-35ART. the 6d isnt wise buy. use some camera comparison sites and check for yourself

I have shot on many models over 30 years including pre-digital, and I will now get myself a new body again for photography (no video). Since I don't shoot fast action buying a 6D is a no brainer + I know it will last me years to come and quality of images will be top notch.
Today... a second hand 6D is exceptional value for the money.
UPDATE, I now had two 6D bodies that BOTH failed me. I got a tried and tested model instead, 5Dii has been used and abused by many professionals over the years so got this instead. I have not looked back, and I'm hard pressed to do any major difference in the noise etc as long as I don't pixel peep 100% or above. No regrets going 5dii instead.
Upgraded from a Canon 5D that lost its mirror. Thanks for all this info. I am much more of a visual learner so your videos are a great help.
The best most comprehensive and practical information I have found
You are a legit Canon Jedi, thank you for your knowledge, watching the first 30 minutes have been invaluable and I have learned so much!!!!
Thank you so much for making this video. I recently upgraded from APS-C to Full sensor, and what a huge difference in low light situation. I had the opportunity to purchase the 6D mark II, but there wasn't any ISO performance improvement over the Mark I, so I am very happy with my 6D. I really hope Canon can up their game related to all the quality issues with their newer Full frame cameras.
I have a canon 6D and your video had answered some of the questions I have been trying to figure out. I still have a lot I need to learn. I will keep checking out your videos.
I bought a 6D recently and this vid is great, highly informative, great work Tony , you are a champ
After being let down with an online purchase for a 6D Mark ii, I purchased a used 6D and had enough change to get a new 16-35L f4 IS and a curry! Thanks Tony :-)
Yukk hate curry.. Great camera though must admit 🙏🙏😉😉
Thank you so much, this is a very useful video for me. I bought 6D for two months and this video came as savior. I got your book SDP and helps me a lot.
so helpful- thanks for putting this together! Just bought a used 6d and getting up to speed and this was great.
Hoping you'll did a similar video for the 6DII
Tony and chelsea!
You are both very knoledgeable about all these things, i am very impressed with it all.
I started with film cameras, but do have one or two digital cameras. I even did a course with new york institute of photography base in brighton in uk, during 1980s. Even sold some images to an agency all on film. But digital i am not so hot on apart from basic things, thats why i use film mostly i know how it works.
Thank you for doing these videos they are very helpfull.
Thanks Tony, that was fantastic. I've had my 6D for a year now and love it, even with its few shortcomings. Your tutorial was great because it showed me real life features, like how to get quickly into the different autofocus modes and how useful the "Q" button is. Gonna go out and try out my newly learned tricks.
This is the most efficient and well presented theme I have ever seen in my life
I must absolutely congratulate you
Not a single word wasted
No so this so that or constant umming
I have just subscribed
Your a one off Brother
I’m also going to purchase this camera , I’m a beginner and you have produced a complete guide to using this great camera
I just want to thank you so much Tony
Superb !!!!!!
This is great! I posted a link on the Canon 6D Facebook page. There's always someone posting getting a new 6D. I've had mine for a year and this was so helpful. Thanks so much Tony.
Thanks! Glad I could help.
Awesome vid! Had my 6D for a year or so, but still had some things I learned in here. Note for people looking for a better deal on the batteries, look for the "accessories kit" for canon to go on sale, often it's less than just the battery on its own, and then you can usually sell the rest of the kit for a bit to recoup even more. :)
Thank you so much for an honest and detailed review of camera and lens. Have just bought both the 6D and sigma lens based on your recommendations and review.
Yes! Finally one for my camera!! Great video!
I always struggle with camera work but I have to learn cause i'm doing journalism... and I wear glasses... when you mentioned the diopter feature i literally screamed yhaaaas! Thank yo so much this tutorial is doing wonders for me.
You're welcome, Shirley. Enjoy!
Thanks for taking the time to provide the community with a FREE video. Great work!
Thanks for the excellent tutorial Tony. I just purchased a condition 9+ 6D for the express purpose of astrophotography. Your tutorial provided some great insight.
Thanks for this! I just got my 6D and I love it, but learning a new camera just by feeling things out can be a bit rough. This is great!
I just bought myself a Canon 6D , so this video was very helpful! Your tutorials are so good & easy to follow along. thank you!
Thanks Tony . I have been shooting my 6d for a few years now but I still picked up a few useful pointers from this . Good work .
Thanks Tony and Chelsea, I purchased this camera as a Christmas present and found this video really useful and informative. Keep up the excellent work.
Absolutely super appreciate this video it's got so much information I just picked up a 6D mark 1 and you've answered so many questions I had I strongly recommend watching this video
I am getting a 6D for backup for weddings with my main as a 5d miii. Noticed the similarities between the two cameras which is nice.
Thanks so much for this tutorial Tony. I've had my 6d for 3 years and finally found a tutorial that i could understand. And this was mainly due to you speaking at a normal speed. Why do a lot of people speak so fast these days or have annoying noise that interferes with the speech?? Thanks heaps.
I got my 6D a couple of weeks ago and found the tutorial very helpful in getting me started. Thanks Tony.
Awesome video Tony thank you. I just bought the 6D it's my first full frame. I had a Rebel T5 before this, your video helped immensely.
Thanks for this. I've had my 6D for more than three years, and still learned things.
Just here to appreciate the technology that’s available to me 5 Years later
I had this camera since launch and learned a few awesome things here. My question is who the hell gave this a thumbs down? Awesome overview. Thanks Tony.
Glad to help!
Great video, I have had the 6D for years, I know all the setting but your description still provides clarity and insight.
i've been bumbling through the settings of the 6D i bought, and this organized tutorial (which I can skip the parts I didn't need help with) is both informative and comforting. i'd love it to also cover custom settings... sometimes I'm in a situation where i'm shooting back and forth and could use a custom setting for the scenarios. (eg. shooting where a lot of sky is in the picture and I'm compensating for the change in light). I never knew that the pricey 24-70 2.8 doesn't have image stabilization. (I bought the f4, which does but i could use the faster lens). Thanks for the sygma recommendation, i often can use a lens with more reach. thanks so much for this video.
You guys are my favorite! Always learning sooo much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! An hour and a half long video like this couldn't be more interesting!!! Time flied so fast!
Thankyou dear lady. It did help. I was able to update the firmware.
Only one miner suggestion. Do not copy the zipped fireware file in DCIM directory.; copy it in the root directory of your SD card.
Thank you so much for sharing, you are very intelligent and nice guy and I will recommend your video to more people.
My 6D is arriving tomorrow. I'm really stoked. This vid was a great overview. Thanks!
+Brent Horne glad to help!
Just my 2 cents on the 6D. Have had it for 2 years and have been using it for portraits mainly. Have taken on vacation and it's been fantastic for scenery and landscapes.
I have never been able to get GPS to connect. Don't need it so no big deal for me.
Outer focus points are not great. Sometimes it's me and sometimes it's the camera (shooting fast shutter - f7-9).
I did have to send the camera back to have the autofocus replaced last fall - outer points were off by a mile.
If you are considering a camera for portrait work, you may want to consider a used 5D3 for around the same price as the outer focal points extend out from the center further and out to the corners.
Awesome, I just moved from aps-c to full frame with a 6d purchase. Thanks for sharing this.
maybe i should get myself one, i've had my 550d for 7 years now and have been thinking about upgrading to full frame for at least 5 years. getting a used one now for
Dear Tony, the video was so so so informative and useful, thank you so much😍. I just love my 6d much more now😄🥰
Glad it was helpful!
I have the 6D and absolutely love it. Thank you.
Very very useful. I have 6D and I am more than happy with it. Can't wati to see more videos of yours.
2022,just picked up a 6d with 1830 shutter actuation. First FF camera ever :) thanks for this relevant video! 📸😁👍
Thank you so much for this video! I just purchased a used EOS 6D. Fantastic camera and I'm learning to really use it. Your tutorial was extremely helpful.
This video is insanely helpful! Thank you so much!! You made the learning experience so easy and effective.
I too have been a big fan of the Godox strobes. One thing i noticed (and just picked one up) is that Neewer is now selling the Godox strobe at Amazon for a considerable discount. (I think it was $469) As you say, i am sure the support isn't great but it is compatible with the rest of my Godox remotes/strobes/flashes and considerably cheaper.
Thank you so much for this review, i used this camera in a wedding photography and must say that now i know about 6D and in coming events will keep in my mind all of it's options . :)
I'm a fashion photographer from Milan, Italy. I love my Canon 6d, ;)
I love you guy's, I bought the 6d and the Sigma based on your tutorial Tony, I'm very happy, it's my first full frame ever and it's awesome, Thank You!
Thanks and congrats!
Wow!!! One hell of a full frame to start with. Congrats! I started with a Canon 5D Mark 1... And though it was great boy did I ever want a 6D!! Godspeed!
This is a very underrated camera. It has had all these features since 2011. The same features that the new mirrorless companies claim are "technological breakthroughs". Lol
Thanks.
I know this camera is way dated, but i was buying it for a little just to use some full frame, since the latest one i have is super 35 (BMP).
Thank you Tony! I have a 6d and learned some new tips today. Your explanation is so easy to understand.
Very well presented. Given all the possibilities and situations I can really get into this. Thank you
Thank you so much for doing this tutorial. I’ve never been good at reading how to do something technical, I need to see it while I do it, and I was utterly lost trying to figure out how to work my “new” (to me) camera. This has helped tremendously! I look forward to watching your other videos.
I'm so glad I found this video and this channel. Thank you so much Tony.
I own a Canon 80D but now i want a full frame body and i honestly don't know which one to choose. My budget is maximum 1400 euros. I hesitate between a Nikon D610 and a Canon 6D and Tony thank you so much for all your videos.
Nice video. It goes into basic fundamentals of photography rather than just being strictly a camera overview. I have had the 6D for over a year now and definitely it is a cut above the 70D. Especially for still subjects, street photography and landscapes. And I did learn something from the 25 minutes that I viewed; exactly how to use the diopter...thanks! Oh, also need to mention I checked out the first few wanderlust travel videos and they are very well done!
Nice job Tony, as always. I work with 6D like 3 years and I can easily take a ceremony with a sigma Art 35mm f1,4 in a very dark restaurant/room with almost no light on ISO 2500-3200 (downscaled to 1080 ofcourse) and the pics are clean sharp. My 7D has much better AF but who cares for landscapes or portraits? You are my favourite youtubers, and I really appreciate your patient and clean explanations. I alwasy wanted to ask what is Your background (education)? Do you have a teacher's degree?
You are very lucky guy having such a pretty/smart wife/with such a sense of humour and nice fam. I wish You successfull new year and all the best from Budapest (Western Asia).
GREAT VIDEO, very easily the best video I've watched and engaged from start to finish, thanks !
Outstanding tutorial. Greetings from Spain
Spot metering is the best for taking Nice portrait also if i have a back light from the sun and the suject is dark...also for macro..i love it...is not old school..it is perfect..
I finally got to the end of RUclips... So, I decided to watch this. 6D??(i kid, i kid) I ALWAYS learn something watching these videos so absolutely love 'em. Thanks!
