Canon 6D2 and 6D Comparison

The old Canon 6D is an entry-level full-frame SLR camera. It can be said that it has a certain position in the entire market. It is especially memorable for entry-level novices. So, Canon 6D has a lot of fans and users. You know, many "young people's first full-frame cameras" are it! After four years, Canon 5D ushered in its "upgrade". Canon 6D2 is now available. Today we will briefly evaluate the difference between the old and the new. Which one is more worthwhile? Let me tell you the answer right away.

Both cameras are popular full-frame SLR cameras from Canon. Compared with Canon 6D, Canon 6D2 has full-pixel dual-core CMOS AF, as well as gorgeous flip screen and touch screen. And it will be lighter and smaller in appearance and weight. The upgraded 6D2 has indeed been upgraded in all aspects. Especially in terms of hardware and performance. The 11-point focusing system used on the Canon 6D. This system has always been disgusted by everyone. This system did not appear on Canon 6D2. Canon 6D2 uses a new 45-point focusing system. The whole focus is more accurate. The continuous shooting performance is also very pleasant. Canon 6D2 has a brand-new shutter assembly that supports a continuous shooting speed of up to 6.5 frames per second. The Canon 6D only has a continuous shooting speed of 4.5 frames per second. In addition, the pixel size, number of focus points, continuous shooting performance, and stronger sensitivity performance have all been well improved.

In particular, we must explain the advantages of the flip screen. It can achieve 180° flip. And it can touch operation. In other words, our viewfinder, photo playback, menu, settings and other functions become simple and convenient! It is very comfortable to operate. It feels like the current touch screen mobile phone. 6D2 has added a flip screen design. The overall weight has not increased, but slightly reduced. There are also changes in material. Canon 6D is a magnesium alloy body. The Canon 6D2 has become an all-plastic body. But there is no lack of texture.

The full-pixel dual-core CMOS AF is worth mentioning. You must know that this technology has been in use since Canon 70D. This technology is currently the most powerful SLR focus function in live view. The smooth and rapid focusing feeling during still image shooting and video shooting is generally incomparable with cameras. And this feature is not available in Canon 6D.

So, if economic conditions permit and want to pursue the ultimate professional imaging quality, it is highly recommended choosing Canon 6D2. If you are just entry-level beginners, and you are only pursuing daily shooting. Your motivation to upgrade and purchase is not strong, and the funds are not so abundant, then Canon 6D is fully in line with the demand.
