6D video performance

[nwhc]

Hi All,

Just chasing information from any 6D shooters out there about the quality of the video the 6D produces, there is alot of mixed reviews on the net regarding video.

I will soon have to hand in my 5D mkii and am looking at the 6D as a replacement, while video is not the most important thing i have been really happy with the footage form the 5D on the rare occasions i have used it.

thanks

My 6D is in the mail .... I'll try and remember to post a comment once I've tried it.

Got my 6D now, but haven't yet taken any video. The stills look great and I'm very happy so far. I'll put a message up once I have some video footage.

I've been using it a bit, but not much for video I'm afraid. However, I'm very happy with the camera itself - no regrets and it takes very nice photos in pretty much any light. Not a lot different really from any other Canon DSLR in terms of handling - just a few things in different places. I don't particularly like having to press a knob in the dial which changes between the scene modes, A/V, TV etc. That apparently comes from the 60D, and some love it and others don't. It's nice having so much image that you can crop a lot without losing so much quality, and the built in HDR works well. All in all I'm a happy camper and have no regrets, so go for it!

By the way - it retails around the $2300 mark body only - I got mine from CameraParadise which was the best overall price I found. It now has it for something like $1506 (body) but you can add on around $100 for sneaky extras by the time you get to the till. Still, at $1600 it's a good saving - mine arrived quickly with no fuss.

Thanks Bob, it will probly take a bit of getting used to coming from the 5D but i think the smaller size will be more wife friendly.

Thanks for the link all the grey importers seem to be around the $1500-$1600 mark.
