There are some feature difference between the 2. The differences are not significant and requires pixel peeping to see.
#Snapsort 5d mark iii vs 6d iso
6D is better at high ISO (> 6400) people argue about this, and I prefer the noise in 6D over D600. D600 has more DR this is pretty much the consensus. My personal hands-on testing with 6D and D600 (not D610). I see that response there talks about DR and ISO. To OP: go with 6D, because this is Canon forum In short, you can't go wrong with either camera, but they have very different strengths and weaknesses that will make one more desirable than the other.
I haven't done much other kind of action shooting, though have gotten good shots of surfers and skateboarders with both cameras. I shoot a little bit of everything and find the lens generally makes more difference than the camera-I've gotten good bif with both cameras.
I started out as a Nikon shooter as a carryover from film days, but I haven't regretted switching to Canon and doubt I will change back, though I have to say that I continue to be reluctant to sell the D600 and continue to use it from time to time. I can imagine someone who is bigger might find the 6d a little small, but it is a fabulous camera in every way you want a camera to be fabulous. Right now is an especially good time to buy them as they are being heavily discounted. But what really makes the camera a gem is the availability of high quality Canon lenses. I have rarely missed a shot since I started using the camera. Canon has a quick screen button that makes it easy to make quick adjustments on the fly. i'm small, have small hands and the buttons and adjustments are all where I can modify them easily. In general, the good Nikon lenses are way more expensive than the good Canon lenses, so most of the lenses I used were not that great on the Nikon (the 24-120-a great lens but one that requires a lot of post-prossessing and the 70-300 kit lens, not too bad, but not as sharp as the Canon lenses I have).įor me, the 6D is almost the perfect camera. When you are buying a camera these days, you are buying into a system. That being said, it was sometimes a pain in the neck to get the settings right and I sometimes had a hard time focusing certain lenses in low light. The D600 provides amazing detail-without the junk on the sensor, the sensor has to be one of the best, so I would guess that you would find the d610 to be an amazing camera. Both are outstanding cameras either one is more than I will ever need. Needing a reliable camera right away, I acquired the 6D. I had the D600 but got frustrated cloning out spots (after about 2500-3000 shots and a couple of cleanings, it seems fine now). But if other aspects matter, such as high ISO shooting, you might check out the Canon. So, if dynamic range and resolution are your top criteria, Nikon wins. Nikon always wins on Snapsort these days because of their better image quality. Nikon has a great wide angle zoom and a newer design 50mm prime, while Canon has some fantastic specialty lenses. As I said above, both brands have great lenses, but there are a few standouts in each camp. Also, I'd highly recommend trying out both cameras before purchasing. Rather than looking at the total score, check out which features that matter to you are best in which camera. Here is a list of the advantages each camera has. However, as more and more cameras are released with better sensors than Canons, a lot of us are starting to feel a bit left behind. Lenses are razor close between the brands, depending on what you shoot, but I'd give Canon the edge for their tilt shifts, f/2.8 zooms, and the 85L. The sad thing is that Canon seems better in just about everything else, in my opinion, particularly quality control. If I was buying into a system now, it would be Nikon due to their relationship with Sony for sensor technology. I'll note that Canon's sensor image quality is a generation behind the rest of the pack, and there is no indication of Canon catching up in the foreseeable future.
Both are sufficient for virtually anyone's needs except a sport or war photojournalist.
