![]() When I say talk I do mean write of course – it is just that I type as I would talk, as things come into/ out of my head. And I am asking the question about the relevance of an older camera in 2023. But I am talking about gear that I already have, and have learned to use inside out. Everything else is irrelevant to the most important person to me in my photography business – my client. And in my case also the photos that I give to my clients.Īll most people care about is the photo itself. What Is The Number 1 Most Important Thing In Photography? I am however helping photographers save money and spend more time taking photos which is what photography should be all about. And I am not working for other photographers! The only people who care about these things are other photographers. No one cares about the camera settings, if a photo was taken in RAW or JPEG? I have never been asked that question by a client. No-one cares which camera you or I have used to capture an image. ![]() Composition and creativity.Īll this technical stuff is not as important as we might think. Ok – before I justify my statement about the Canon 6D being still worth buying in 2023 I need to say something else. This is an image that I took with my Canon 5D which is still one of my favourite architectural photos.Ĭhideock Manor Library – architectural photography in Dorset This camera was first released in 2005 would you believe! My first full frame camera was a Canon 5D Mk 1. So if you read no further this one point could save you lots of money, by not buying the latest shiny loveliness when you do not necessarily need to. And just because other cameras have advanced significantly since 2012, this does not automatically make the Canon 6D over the hill, past it’s sell by date, irrelevant or obsolete.Īnd in my humble opinion this applies to many cameras released in the last, well I don’t know, 15 years? Canon RP Canon 6D Mk 2 What about progress and technological advances?ĭespite all the technological advances that can be found in shiny new cameras the Canon 6D is still a great camera. But you can still get the two obvious replacements for the Canon 6D. And if you buy that product I get a small commission, and you get my thanks! Actually if you buy anything I get a commission….īut not for the Canon 6D itself – you can’t buy that new now. There are lots of affiliate links in this post – if you click on one of these you will be taken to that product on the Amazon website. I have been updating this post for a number of years, never expecting when I first wrote this post to still be using this wonderful camera all these years on, but here I am in 2023 still using my good old Canon 6D Mk 1. So I know about this stuff OK? This is becoming an annual post! I am also the creator and all things at the splendid Photography Explained Podcast. Well you would hope so….Īnd I have been doing both for more years than I would care to admit to.Īnd I also take photos of nice places, and buildings in nice places. And I specialise in architectural, construction and real estate photography. I am also professionally qualified in construction (MCIOB). Who am I to tell you about this stuff? I am Rick McEvoy, a professionally qualified photographer (ABIPP). And I know that at some point I will need to upgrade my camera, just not yet…….Īnd I will I also point you in the direction of some other stuff that I have written that I think will be of interest to you. Now I know my 6D won’t live forever – at the end of this post I tell you what I will replace the Canon 6D with when it finally falls over for good. Here is a photo of a Canon 6D, courtesy of Canon. I had a quick look and found a nice pristine one for less than £400 here in the UK. Unfortunately, you cannot buy a new one in 2023, but refurbished/ second-hand ones can be bought for much less than the latest fangle dangled things. Right, that is you told! In this post I am going to tell you why the Canon 6D is still well worth buying, giving you a great, economical route into full frame photography and great image capture capabilities. ![]() You do not need the shiniest, latest bells and whistles camera to take great photos. The Canon 6D was Canon’s entry level full frame camera when it was released, and whilst it has been superseded by newer models it is a great way to get into full frame photography. The Canon 6D was a great camera when it was released in late 2012, and can still take great photos in 2023. The Canon 6D is still worth buying in 2023. Who’d have thought it eh? And if you are thinking, the Canon 6D? Isn’t that an ancient camera? Read on…… ![]() Here is my now annual post where I ask a fundamental question about the Canon 6D, still my go to camera in 2023.
