This is a awesome entry level full frame camera. The size, weight, and image quality is fantastic. The low light capabilities of this camera have been impressive, to the point that I have not needed my flash as often. I have not picked my 7D once since I received this camera, although I will need my 7D for auto racing. This is not considered a sport camera but can be used for action in capable hands. I recommend this camera to anyone that wants the full frame experience without breaking the bank.

Great IQ, very nice color rendition, weight.

Cons:
|
Not much. A 100% viewfinder would be nice, maybe better weather sealing.

Great camera when you don't have a lot of action. IQ is great. Wish the viewfinder had 100%. I use this one mostly for macro, and for market / city shots where my 5DIII feels to heavy, also as backup body. The build is great, but could have a little more weather sealing - when it gets really rough I use the 5D.

Really impressed by this camera. Sturdy and light. IQ excellent at high ISOs - I rarely top 3200 but it will if necessary. AF down to -3EV is extraordinary. EOS Remote wifi implementation is superb and very useful for low level tripod photography. Perfect landscape body. Much preferred to 5D MkII.

While I have used it successfully for bif this is very hit and miss and luck plays too big a part. This camera not really suited for such action shots as AF grid too restricted and insufficiently sensitive. Hence I have 5D Mk III for this use. One tip - some have noted need to regularly re-set wifi connections and this seems to be connected with the auto-sleep facility; I have this disabled and have had no such issues with the wifi which has been solid as a rock.

Pros:
|
Small size and light weight, great LCD, superb low and high ISO image quality in RAW, all the AF points work accurately even in low light, takes SD cards, GPS & Wifi there if you want them, microadjust at both ends of zoom. Better shadow detail if pushed. Fantastic silent shutter.
|
|
Cons:
|
Not 100% viewfinder, oddly placed stop-down button, only one way level, loss of the multi-controller, the smaller in-ring one is fiddly with gloves on. A couple of extra FPS would have been nice, not really a sport camera. AF system out of the ark, although centre point very accurate we need more points these days

Just an excellent camera that really shows some development from the 5D2.
An excellent compromise if you can't stretch to a 5D3 or if you are coming up from a crop camera - although you'll probably need to invest in a small flash for fill-in (90EX comes to mind).
GREAT high ISO image quality - virtually noise free at 6400 with good exposure, RAW and lightroom, astonishing.
Shame it's only a one-way level and the viewfinder doesn't show 100% but the silent shutter is fantastic and the focusing system is simple yet works pefectly.
The AF system is still basically the one from the 5D, which really isn't good enough, but it works ok.
I expect the 6D2 will remove most of my issues
