I'm blown away by the quality, the speed of focus, the bokeh, the handling of the camera, etc, etc compared to my 60D
I've been using my 6D as one of my gig cameras for a few weeks now and I couldn't be happier with it. Its ability to focus in low light and lack of high ISO noise is outstanding. People might complain about the AF ability, but it has no problems tracking fast moving subjects on stage in light that's so poor the 7D just crapped itself in attempting it.
I have one on the way, and will do a comparison vs my 7D once it arrives.
I have dabbled with FF before, having owned a 5D II for a few days before returning it and then "upgrading" to the 7D. I honestly believe my 5D II had a focusing fault, but it did put me off of FF for a few years. I cannot wait to see how the 6D performs in comparison to my much-loved and excellent 7D.
Just updating. My 6d came yesterday. From HDew all seems fine not sure what you meant by serial number is ok or shutter count the numbers on the lcd seemed to start at 100-0000.
I ordered on the 8th @ 11pm arrived yesterday 12.30pm.
I bought the kit. Camera came with a uk lead with uk plug and uk manual/book plus there was a 77mm Kenko uv filter in the box.
Fngers crossed all went well.

I had been reading on here that some cameras bought via the grey import route had dodgy looking serial numbers and they didn't match the serial number in the exif. Also I plugged my camera into the MacBook and ran a utility that interrogates the camera to see how many shots it had taken.
You found one that worked with the 6d?
Yeah it was called gPhoto2

A bit of a faff and had to install some developer tools but it worked a treat
Another link.

Thanks for the info. I just checked the serial in exif against the body sticker and alls well. So I'm happy_don't want to faff with the other stuff. Alls working as it should do and looks fine, images seem fab on the random snaps of objects around the home.
Off to make bacon buttie's for breakfast now "day off" ;-)

Great stuff, I'll have one with brown sauce cheers?
Tomato for me
Still getting to grips with the new camera but here is a shot from yesterday evening. I was quite surprised how much more pronounced the distortion of my lenses seems on a FF sensor

Deserved a wow "Me thinks"
It's outa the box

haha nice one
Superb image and a good advert for canon especially if it was shot on the 6d
Is HDEW the best place at the moment to get a 6D?
Going to be getting one it looks like in the next few weeks.

When you say distortion do you mean the vignetting ? , if you do ,check the lens aberration correction in the cameras menu for the lenses that you are using , i am currently using the 24-70mm mk1 lens and the correction wasnt enabled for my lens and the vignetting was very noticeable without it .
Yeah it was a RAW file and I applied the Lens correction in Lightroom. But as you can see in the image the foremost left hand corner wall looks like it is leaning backwards. My 60d didn't exhibit this to the same extent. I could have resolved it by using the manual controls in the lens correction tab of lightroom but I ended up loosing too much of the image so left it at the auto settings. Bit of a ramble there hope it makes sense.
You have to remember that the 60d is a crop so the distortion will always be less than that of FF!
