The main LCD screen offers a fantastic VGA resolution with 1,040K dots, so you may find yourself using it more often than you thought. This makes the Canon EOS 6D quicker to use and also helps to extend the battery life. On cheaper DSLR cameras, the LCD on the rear usually has to do both jobs, but on this model all of the camera's main settings are visible from above on the smaller panel. There are two LCD displays on the EOS 6D the 3-inch colour LCD on the rear and the smaller status panel on the top. There's a smaller fifth button which activates the status LCD display light so that you can use it in the dark. The 6D also shows the settings on the main LCD screen as well as the status LCD.
You press a button and then turn either the top control dial or the rear control dial to change the corresponding setting. On the top-right of the Canon EOS 6D, positioned above the large monochrome status LCD display, are four buttons, each of which has a single function. The Quick Control screen is particularly well-suited to beginners and tripod work, letting you see and adjust the camera's key controls at a glance. Depending on which shooting mode you're using, this lets you quickly set various parameters via the LCD screen, using the four-way controller to move around the various options. Just above is the useful Quick button which opens the Quick Control screen. It's a little "spongy" in use, but perhaps a better fit for the 6D's target audience than the love-it or loathe-it joystick. Instead of the 5D Mark III's small joystick on the rear, the 6D employs a conventional four-way controller set within the rear control wheel. There's a dedicated Lock switch underneath which toggles this dial on and off. It's a bit of an acquired taste compared to more conventional control dials, but you quickly get used to it and it is easy to 'spin'. This rear 'quick control dial' is characteristic of all high-end Canon EOS cameras, used to apply rapid exposure adjustments. Like other semi-pro cameras, the Canon EOS 6D offers two control wheels a small one on the top of the handgrip, and a large, spinning dial on the back of the camera.
On the front of the 6D is an infrared port on the grip, rather too small and awkwardly placed depth-of-field preview button, self-timer lamp and a monaural microphone. There's a textured area on both the deep hand-grip and around the thumb-rest on the rear of the camera, and size-wise the 6D is perfect for everyone with small to normal-sized hands. The 6D still has a part-magnesium alloy body, which should make it more durable in the longer term than plastic-bodied cameras, and it also adds a welcome level of weather-proofing for protection against dust and moisture. The EOS 6D weighs 755g and measures 144.5 x 110.5 x 71.2mm, making it quite a lot lighter and smaller than the 5D Mark III and therefore better suited to life as a travel camera. The EOS 6D is also up against some strong competition from the better-specified Nikon D600, which takes a somewhat different approach to make full-frame more affordable. It also has a couple of features, most notably built-in wi-fi and GPS, that its bigger brother doesn't offer, although there are inevitably some big compromises too, including only 11 AF points, 97% viewfinder coverage and slower 4.5fps burst shooting (the 5D Mark II has 61 AF points, 100% viewfinder and 6fps burst shooting). The Canon EOS 6D brings the full-frame DSLR experience to the masses, with a lower price-tag, smaller and lighter body, and a more simplified control layout than the popular 5D Mark III. The Canon EOS 6D is available body-only for $2,099 / £1,799 or in a kit version with Canon’s EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens for $2,899.00 / £2,519.99.
