FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda If you’re thinking about stepping up to a serious DSLR camera and had your eye on Canon’s EOS 5D Mark III, wait just a second. Canon has unveiled a new model, the EOS 6D, which has many of the Mark III’s features in a more compact package — plus a couple of extra tricks, including built-in Wi-Fi.
Like the 5D Mark III (and its predecessor, the popular Mark II), the EOS 6 is a full-frame camera (meaning the CMOS image sensor is as large as a frame of 35mm film). The megapixel count is slightly less (20.2 MP instead of 22.3), though it’ll be tough to tell the difference. The 6D also packs the relatively recent DIGIC 5+ image processor, which gives it a speedy continuous shooting rate, at 4.5 frames per second.
The 6D has the distinction of being the very first Canon EOS camera with built-in Wi-Fi and GPS. The Wi-Fi (802.11n) enables instant sharing of photos to other devices, cloud storage or social networks, but the real magic comes when you download the Remote app for Android and iOS. Once it’s running on your phone, you can now control your 6D from afar, instantly making obsolete any and all tethered shutter-release accessories.
The 1.7-pound 6D will feel a bit lighter in hand than the 1.9-pound 5D, and that’s partly due to 6D only being able to save to SD card (no CompactFlash here). The viewfinder measures 3 inches diagonal, but there’s no fold-out arm. There’s also no built-in flash.

Of course, the 6D also records video at up to 1080p resolution at 30 frames per second. That’s not 4K like Canon’s EOS-1D X camera can do, but who needs that anyway? The 6D also does 720p at up to 60 fps. This still isn’t a dedicated video camera, though, and can only capture about a half hour of footage from continuous shooting.
For still pics, the 6D has an HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode, which captures three different exposures of the same shot and combines them for better detail and color. There’s also a Multiple Exposure mode that lets you merge up to nine different pics into the same image, no Photoshop required.
Canon plans to start selling the EOS 6D in December for $2,099. That’s just for the body, but it’ll also come packaged as a kit with Canon’s EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM zoom lens for $2,899.
