Canon EOS 6D Full-frame DSLR Brings Joy to Photography Enthusiasts

Canon EOS 6D announced on Monday, September 17, 2012, is a full-frame DSLR whose most endearing feature is its affordability. So far full-frame cameras have been priced at points that only make sense to professional photographers.
The EOS 6D features a newly developed 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor, DIGIC 5+ Image Processor and, for the first time in a Canon DSLR, built-in wireless and GPS.
The camera also includes an 11-point AF array and 63-zone dual-layer iFCL metering sensor together with 1080p Full HD video capabilities.
The combination of the full-frame sensor and Digic processor allows it to shoot upto to 4.5 frames per second (fps) in burst mode.
It's impressive normal ISO range of 100-25600, can be expanded to 50-102400.
The EOS 6D camera's Auto Focus (AF) system includes a newly-developed 11-point AF sensor featuring a high-precision center cross-type point with an exceptional EV -3 sensitivity rating for accurate focusing even in extremely low-light conditions.
The EOS 6D has a large 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor with 1,040,000 dot VGA resolution and 170 degree viewing angle. When used for Live View shooting, the LCD screen provides 100 percent coverage, for easy focusing and framing.
The EOS 6D supports Full-Frame 1080p Full HD Video captures with full manual control over exposure and audio levels.
It's built-in wireless transmitter allows the camera to share images and video with the user's choice of wireless devices such as select PowerShot cameras, smartphones, or tablets, as well as cloud-based destinations including social networking sites through the Canon iMAGE GATEWAYii iii.
A free Canon EOS Remote app available for iOS and Android systems allows a smartphone or wireless device such as a tablet to remotely connect, control and operate the connected EOS 6Div.

For on-location shooters, landscape photographers or enthusiast photo travelers, the EOS 6D features
The built-in GPS can record longitude, latitude, elevation and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as EXIF data for seamless geo-tagging while shooting.
Besides the traditional HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode that allows you to capture three separate exposures and combine them in-camera, the EOS 6D features Multiple Exposure mode where users can combine up to nine individual images into a single composite image, with no need for later computer post-processing. Four different compositing methods are provided for maximum creative control, including Additive, Average, Bright and Dark.
Compositing results can be viewed in real time on the camera's LCD monitor, and there is a one-step Undo command that allows photographers to delete an image and try again if desired.
The camera is compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards including the new Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) cards.
