Canon EOS 6D is a more versatile, customisable option than the Canon EOS 60D for sports photographers.
There's an interesting option in the Playback menu that enables you to create a photobook direct from the camera. This is a pretty exciting option that ties in with Canon's Project 1709 cloud storage plans, since this will enable photographers to order prints and books to be made via the internet.
Wi-Fi connectivity is a key new feature for the Canon EOS 6D. We weren't able to test this with the pre-production sample that we got to use, but it was good to see that you can create a nickname for the camera to make it easy to recognise when you're trying to connect.
Unlike the Canon EOS 650D, the Canon EOS 6D doesn't have touchscreen technology, and the 3-inch 1,040,000-dot Clear View II LCD screen is a fixed rather than an articulating unit.
One disappointment is that, unlike the Canon EOS 5D Mark III, the Canon EOS 6D doesn't have a rating button, so images can only be assigned a score out of five via the menu. It's an easy enough process, but it's not the same as simply hitting a button to rate an image and make it easy to identify when you download it to a computer.
Being a DSLR, the Canon EOS 6D also has an optical viewfinder, and this provides a nice bright view without any obvious dimming or corner shading.

As soon as you pick up the 20.2MP Canon EOS 6D you notice that it's quite a bit different from the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It's smaller for a start, being similar in proportions to the Canon EOS 60D
