I haven't found it a limiting factor for me at all, and as already pointed out, all points are useable. If you dropping down from a 5D iv, you may notice it. Coming from a 70D, I have noticed a nice improvement in 6D ii, and never thought about them being too squashed. The 6D ii has a number of features that are a noticeable improvement on 6D, which for everyday use will undoubtedly make it a nicer camera to use.Īs for the AF spots - yes the spread is not as good as it could be, but compared to the centre AF spot being effectively the ONLY usable AF spot on the 6D, it is probably a significant improvement. Now we could argue forever that the newer model should be better, but isn't - that is another conversation.

There is essentially no difference between the DR of 6D and 6D ii for everyday purposes and I think (again from memory) that the 6D ii is slightly better at high ISOs. A bit like saying that car X is faster/better than car Y because it has a 0-60mph time that is 0.1 second faster. "People" get too hung up on the numbers game. If you check out the test numbers on a few sites because they do vary a bit, I think you will find that at ISO100 the difference is (from memory because I have no inclination to go and look for them again) something 0.7%, and I would defy any of these "people" to pick a tiny difference like that in a "blind" comparison. I think that most of these "people" are talking out of their hats. People said 6D is better than 6DII in dynamic range. 80D focus points are more spread out than 6DII, do you feel the focus point is too cramp and too limit because is all in the center area? I prefer to shoot with viewfinder than LCD. The 6D MkII also has the anti-flicker function for getting consistent shots in Artificial/flickering light (Introduced in the 7D MkII) And then I just moved the very bright Gloss white Coreflute and target I had printed on Gloss photo paper into a shaded location to the side and continued. The only time I did come close to encountering that was shooting a 50mm F1.2 Lens in daylight on a white target (doing AF MA with Reikan Autofocal). And if I did want a very shallow DOF under very bright light I'd throw on a ND filter to tame the light a touch to deal with it.

And having shot BIF, and a variety of sports, I've yet to find 1/4000 as a limitation. Face detect in Live View works very well, and the scene modes are another advantage.įrom memory, the only advantage the 5D MkIII would have is 1/8000 fastest shutter speed Vs 1/4000. DPAF is another new feature that works well.

Not only more MP (26 Vs 22) which will deliver more detail, More Native ISO range (40,000 Vs 25,600), and in a studio situation, Live View will allow you to touch the screen for the focus point.

Right now I am using 80D with Canon 85mm 1.4 L prime and Sigma Art 35mm and 50mm.Įasy just get the 6dmkii and with those primes you'll be more than happy.ĦD MkII, no doubt at all. I can't afford the 5D Mark IV, considering a used 5D Mark III or a brand new 6D Mark II, which one is good choice as I am mainly shoot portrait.
