#5D MARK III VS 6D LOW LIGHT HOW TO#
First figuring out how to set up the WiFi can be a bit of a pain, but there are plenty of YouTube Videos and once done and practice with it, it is fun to work with. It can be nice if you have a computer hooked up and want to display images at the reception while shooting. The 6D also has a cool feature of built in WiFi, you can use your computer, android phone or pad or iPhone or iPad to control it, though it only sends jpegs over WiFi. With some good high speed sync capable speedlights, using bounce and remote flash, the camera can capture beautiful images. You will just have to make sure you have gone through the menus and gotten it set up for the gig. Once you really get used to the camera though it performs well. Picture quality and full frame it was a step up. My 7D had more focal points and more easily access control on the camera, so in some ways as professional features moving from the 7D to the 6D felt like a let down. Many features of the 6D are only accessed from the menu such as white balance. The 5D MK III has it beat in many features, many more focal points, easily accessible controls.
The 6D is lacking in some features a professional would like on a camera.
This possibly due to slightly larger pixel sensor size that can gather more photons. For low light the 6D is said to have a slight edge over the 5D MK III for noise, very slight. In my opinion the 6D is a step up from the from the 5D MK II and wedding photographers used the 5D MK II for years. Though a 5D MK III is a more professional tool.
I have shot weddings with the 6D, it can get the job done.
