About this model
The Canon EOS 6D is a full-frame DSLR designed for photographers who want the image quality of a larger sensor without the bulk and cost of a professional body. Its 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor delivers clean low-light images, smooth background blur and wide dynamic range. The 11-point autofocus system includes a sensitive cross-type centre point for reliable focusing in dim conditions, and the camera can shoot at up to 4.5 frames per second. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you transfer images wirelessly, while GPS records where each shot was taken. The 6D is a popular choice for portraits, landscapes, travel and anyone stepping up to full frame.
