Canon EOS 6D vs Nikon D700

I think that it's very, very good for both sands, that focusing issue with stills. I wouldn't use autofocus when it comes to shooting video, because i...

I have the D3S but do not think the price difference is worth it. It is a better camera but i do not see any difference between the quality of my pictures on D3S versus D700. having said, i do not regret having paid $3,000 more for my D3S!!! it feels better as a camera in particular with zoom lenses.

Its autofocus system also performs decently well when tracking moving subjects, though it's not as impressive as higher-end models.

(?!) 51 point AF with tracking across all the points? Check (?!) Same price as a new F5 in 2000? Check (?!) I can almost hear Phil Collins...because I've been waiting for this camera, for all my life

I have a decent compact now and for most shots I'm happy with it.It's not about the camera, it never was, the thing that gets the aahs and oohs is what's in the picture and how you arranged it, and that's the much more difficult part.

Original review: I won't get into the specs, but give my take on how this camera holds up being a generation older than the current competition. At current used prices it matches up very closely to the new Nikon full frame kid on the block-- D600, although the ergonomics and features of the D700 are closer to the the D800. The D700's lineage is from the mighty D3 so you're getting essentially the same camera in a smaller body. Slap on the optional hand grip and you can fire away at 8 FPS

5L Macro USM($1,699.00 at Amazon) and the compact EF 28mm f/1.8 USM($1,699.00 at Amazon)

2. Nice understandable manual, which is not always true with Japanese cameras. 3. I experimented with using a DX lens, specifically my Nikon 10-24mm zoom, even though theoretically this should vignette badly on this FX camera

I sold my 70D and bought a 6Dii and 24-105 f/4 just like you have. This was a long decision and looked at several options. I settled with the 6D due to cost mainly. Mirrorless range was generally too expensive for me

I know the MB-D10 is more expensive but this is a prime example of "you get what you pay for..."

) The only significant advantages it has over the RP are In-body stabilization and (much, much) longer battery life.

The only nit I have is this camera uses more juice that most DSLRs, so be sure to keep a spare battery or two charged and ready to go. The power problem is mitigated somewhat because the charge meter appears to be fairly accurate.

Weight is similarly svelte, below every 5D and the 7D, and about even with the 60D. The larger cameras will balance a bit better with heavy lenses; this 6D will be the preferable travel body by a small margin. New relative to the 5D II are improved weather sealing and a much-appreciated mode dial lock. It's not clear how comprehensive the sealing is; I still wouldn't take it in the rain, and very few non-L Canon lenses are weatherproof

I will say it is all-around camera. The image quality is fantastic. However, I will not recommend it for travel because it is an heavy camera, and I don't recommend it to use in extreme environment condition because the built quality and seal is not as good as Nikon D3 or Canon 1D series. For outdoor field sports such as football or soccer, you might miss crop sensor DSLR camera because it has extra reach
