The Canon EOS 6D is a 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS digital single-lens reflex camera made by Canon.

The EOS 6D was publicly announced on 17 September 2012, one day before the start of the Photokina 2012 trade show. It was released in late November 2012 and offered at that time as a body only for a suggested retail price of US$2,099^[4]^[5]^[6] or in a package with an EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens for a suggested retail price of US$2,899.^[4]

It was superseded by the EOS 6D Mark II in 2017.

Features

The EOS 6D is the first Canon DSLR to feature GPS functions and built in Wi-Fi capabilities, which geotag images and allow files to be uploaded directly to Facebook, YouTube, or Canon Image Gateway; transferred to external devices; or sent to be printed on a Wi-Fi-enabled Canon printer. The Wi-Fi capabilities also allow remote control and viewing via many smartphones.^[7]

Weighing 770 grams (27 oz), the 6D is also Canon's smallest and lightest full-frame DSLR, comparable to the APS-C sensor 60D. The camera supports ISO settings from 50 to 102,400 which can be selected automatically or adjusted manually, an 11-point autofocus system, and an anti-glare 3.0 inches (76 mm) LED screen.^[8] The center autofocus point has a sensitivity of −3 EV.

The BG-E13 battery grip, which was made to be used with the 6D, allows the use of six AA cells, or one or two LP-E6 batteries.^[9] The 6D has a maximum burst frame rate of 4.5 frames per second.^[8] Like all Canon DSLR full-frame cameras, the 6D does not have a built in flash due to the design of the viewfinder.^[10]
