Canon "color" 6D

LifeORiley · Apr 12, 2020

hi,

I'm looking to buy an old 6D. I'm a Nikon FF shooter and want to see the canon "color" for myself (cheaply if possible). If convinced - I'll jump ship - tired of removing green/blue shift from photos in PP.

Does the old 6D have good Canon "color"?

This would be a "test" purchase so I don't need the latest and greatest for sports etc.

thanks

Hiya
I have used the canon 600d and the 60D both are crop sensor
these are from the 600d using a colon 100-400 f 4 f5.6 with a 1.5 or a 2* converter both lens and converters are l series glass

These are with the canon 70d with an non l series lens hope this helps. I did not go ff canon because I have mixed EF&EFS glass

Speaking of cheap Canon full-frame cameras, this week I saw a 5D advertised at MPB for only $245.

Depends on how bad you want full frame
Do a web search canon 5d vs canon 7d or the 7od

I doubt that buying 6D in 2020 is a good idea. Futhermore canon colors never were considered as perfectly balanced, always shifting towards yellow. If the colors are that important I would suggest looking towards Fujifilm mirrorless cameras. They have beautiful colors by default and also great film imitation presets.

The 6D was a decent performer.

I'd honestly take a 5D III over a 6D mk I.

To me, the cheapest way to test before switching would be to rent a body and lens(es) for a week and give it a great test.

You also avail yourself to Canon lenses. Glass is also an important factor in rendering color.

Just a reminder sorry if I am teaching gran to suck eggs
Canon EF lenses will fit on canon crop sensor bodies/EFS
But the EFS lenses will Not fit on canon full frame bodies.
There are two other types M and RF
What the compatibility is on the I do not know, there is a web site that may help
