Canon’s all-new EOS 6D Posted on 4 October 2012 True to form, Canon has launched its counter punch against the Nikon D600 – the revolutionary EOS 6D. This full-frame sensor housed in a sleek and sexy lightweight body is due to arrive on South African shores in late November 2012 at an incredible price of under R20 oo0 – great value for what it promises to offer. Here’s a sneak preview to some of the specs of the EOS 6D: Features: Full-frame 20.2-megapixel sensor Tough, lightweight construction Max ISO 25,600 (expandable to ISO 102,400) 11-point AF sensitive down to -3EV GPS records your location Wi-Fi file transfer and remote control Full-HD video 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor At the heart of the EOS 6D is a 20-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and a powerful DIGIC 5+ image processor. Together these deliver images that are packed with detail and clarity. Colours are reproduced accurately whilst tonal gradation is subtle and natural. The full-frame advantage Enjoy access to wide-angle EF lenses and discover new approaches to landscape, interiors and street photography. The extra control over depth of field provided by the full-frame sensor is perfect for adding impact to your portraits. Designed to travel Lightweight enough to go everywhere with you and strong enough to withstand the rigors of travel photography. Simple controls and intuitive ergonomics make the EOS 6D quick and easy to use. Powerful low-light performance When light levels get low, the EOS 6D keeps delivering superb photography. ISO sensitivity extends from ISO 100 up to ISO 25,600 (expandable to L:50, H1:51,200, H2:102,400) and an 11-point autofocus system is responsive down to -3EV. That’s sensitive enough to operate under moonlight. Compose pictures with ease Work intuitively with the EOS 6D’s bright full-frame viewfinder. A 1,040,000-dot 7.6 cm (3.0”) Clear View II LCD screen makes Live View shooting of stills and Full-HD video a pleasure. Creative features designed for you Preserve detail in both highlights and shadows with the EOS 6D’s high dynamic range (HDR) shooting mode, and create composite images with its multiple-exposure facility. ±5 stop exposure compensation and ±3-stop auto exposure bracketing allow flexibility and fine tuning of exposure. GPS tracks your every movement Built-in GPS determines your exact location and geotags each image file with the information. In GPS Logger mode a record of your route is recorded as you move around, even when the camera is switched off. Wi-Fi for unparalleled connectivity Shoot remotely from alternative viewpoints: connect and control your EOS 6D using your PC, Mac or smartphone. Images can be transferred wirelessly and shared with family and friends. Full-HD Video Shoot Full-HD video at 1080p resolution, taking advantage of fast-aperture lenses and full manual control to achieve cinematic effects.
