The reasoning went 6D toward
Major advantages of the 6D 5D III.
- Price advantage, almost 50% cheaper
- Significantly lower weight and size
- Yet compact size something like the 60D
- The 5D III acts in direct comparison like a big heavy Klotz
Limitations 6D compared to the 5D III
- Reduced continuous shooting mode 4.5 to 6.0 B / s
- Less AF points 11 to 41, it offers the 6D a highly sensitive center AF
- Shortest Shutter Speed 1 / 4000s instead of 1 / 8000s
But in my view the advantages and disadvantages of the Canon EOS 6D:
++ Large bright clear viewfinder
++ Pleasant and ergonomic operation
++ Extremely fast, snappy and accurate AF, even in almost darkness
++ Upper tidy display and the buttons logically arranged fields
++ Precision timer (reduces camera shake immensely)
++ Top exposure results with Halbautomatikprog. (Noticeable difference from the 550D)
++ Camera is just compact and not too hard, smallest VF Canon DSLR
++ Huge usable ISO reserves
++ Accidentally an entire Session with ISO 12800 and above photographed. Noise visible but photos still more than good useful
++ Slower shutter speeds, even without IS, are finally out of the hands possible, with the 550 constantly minimalverwackelt
++ Very good resolution in the images, compared to Crop in the action and in the enlargement complete and sovereign
++ Min shutter speed can be preselected, class Function
+ The 6D was not overloaded with unnecessary features
- Small writing on the upper display
- Indicators in the viewfinder i Comp.. eg. 550 thin and weak green font, with large outdoor brightness barely legible.
Conclusion: For me, right. After all, full frame, relatively compact and lightweight, with excellent image results in very low noise. A pity that the viewfinder display in bright ambient light (very) is difficult to read.

Additional info:
With great horror, I discovered that the USB port does not work anymore. What happened? I had had the previous day enabled the WLAN function and connect to the smartphone produced. Ending the call, the wireless function remains active. This in turn means that no video recording is possible and all USB ports are disabled. For this is the 6D a short info when you activate the WLAN function. This I have unfortunately overlooked. Since I assume that some will fall into this trap, I want to prevent with this info, when suddenly the USB port does not work anymore.
