5D Mark iii vs 6D Mark ii In-Depth Comparison 

at last a video where someone was NOT trying to sell me something....but rather just relaying info. thank you.

Excellent presentation style. Very clear and to the point. I’m in the market for a 6d, and Ralph hit all the important points I need to consider. I wish more vloggers used Ralph’s approach.

I love these two cameras. We wanted to get 5D mark III but we couldn’t afford once we hit the road, living on a budget doesn’t allow us to upgrade cameras yet, so we invest in lenses. Love this review.

I recently bought the 6d mk2 after watching several reviews on the Internet. Yours was the one that convinced me that it was the camera for me. Lots of reviewers pretentiously bashed this great device and it seemed to me that they were frustrated that it didn't have the same features as a 5dmk iv despite costing significantly less. The truth is that many of us just want to take great pictures just because we enjoy it without necessarily having to pay 4000 dollars body and lens. I wanted a camera that would be a good upgrade from my 2000d in terms of image quality, low light performance, burst rate, depth of field and usability and that's exactly what I got. Thanks for the reviews which are always comprehensive of our expectations. Couldn't be happier with my 6d mk2 which cost me just 1300$ used with its lens.

One small update: The 5D mark iii has dual card slots, but it can only record video into one card.

thank you for mentioned dual memory cards advantage. As a wedding photographer, its a must for me to use 2 memory cards: 1 for Raw, 1 for medium sized JPEG ( smaller file, should be safer & faster to burn into memory card)

Your room-background-lightning is very GOOD.

I've just stumbled on this video. I really enjoy your unbiased no nonsense work. A humble but very professional video maker. There are a lot of video makers could learn a lot from you.

Since I own a 5D Mk lll, I am glad to be reminded about all its professional advantages. As a photographer and not a videographer, this camera still serves my purpose even to this day in 2023. The only other thing I bring these days is my iPhone 15 ProMax and I am set. Thanks for your straightforward review.

Your face when testing silent mode is priceless. Lol Great review it helped a lot!

I was saving up for a Canon 5D Mark IV but checked out my local camera store here in Seattle. I was able to get the Mark III body used with 47k shutter count for $760. They also had others ones for $899. Only flaws on mines was the a small spot of black on the body was fading probably due to tripod use since it’s in a weird place.

Clear and concise point for point review. If you are looking at both these cameras then this should help immensely. Glad the price points are coming down on both these cameras.

Great comparison Ralph if ever i upgrade i will definitely chose one of these.👍👍😊👍

I really enjoyed this video. Very helpful and confirmed my decision to buy the 5Dmiii for stills. Thanks.

Great video, I'm not even considering buying either of these but I still watched the whole thing aha, really good production quality!

Simple and easy to understand. Ralph this is certainly one of the best comparison videos I have watched.

I almost almost almost bought a 6D Mark II. Wasn't ready for the full frame life yet. Solid video bro

Very helpful video! It was no-nonsense and not self-serving. I have a Canon T6 and I’m looking to upgrade to a full-frame. I’m not a pro, so I think the 6D Mark II is going to fit my needs. Thank you very much for this excellent review!

Only if I seen this video much earlier I would have bought a different camera. But on well. I am pretty happy with my 5D mkiii. Thanks for the good video btw.

This is the best cam intro video after watching many

I'm just bought canon EOS mark iii It's my first time Photography ❤

Ralph, another brilliant technical user comparison. Historically always a Canon advocate but my last full frame was the Nikon D850. Positively one of the best still photography camera I've ever used. However, as a vlogger it is somewhat lacking. I think in future I will revert back to the 5D line purely for the industry's best Dual Pixel AF. Thanks mate!

There is so many minor differences but the pullout screen is so useful for RU-vidrs. But as you say they are different.

Im not a canon guy, but a lot of peeps i know prefer shooting videos on 6d over 5d. Great review bro!

Dude. I've been searching for ages trying to figure out what I should buy. Your summary at the end made it so much easier for me. I can't see me using a DSLR for video all that much, if at all. I'd love the connectivity features of the 6D Mk-II, but even when you buy these secondhand there's a £300 price difference...

With ML, video quality on 5d mark iii blows even 5d mark iv away

Amazing review ☺️ We love Canon. It’s not big difference between them both.

Got the 6d mark 2 I use it as my pro camera. My clients are very happy with the work I delivered. I always check between shooting if the cards has saved the photo's.

If I had the money for any of these I would certainly choose the 5D mkiii.

Great review, and relevant even in 2022! Thank you

I just bought the 6D MKII from Canon itself.. I got it refurbished for $880 I was gonna buy an EOS R but if I do that.. I want RF glass too.. I still want the EOS R but the 6D MKII will serve me well for awhile..

Totally agree on the flash part

Direto ao ponto, sem enrolação. Muito bom!

This is useful information since we're looking to buy a decent old camera for our trips. The 6D image does seem cleaner in lower light, which is always a pain point.

Great vid! I laughed out loud when you compared the shutter sounds :))

Nice comparisons! Both cameras have their pros and cons.. I would probably splurge for the 6D if I were looking to buy..

So the 6d mark ii is great for filmmaking/video? And will buying a good lens with low F stop help with the quality. Want to upgrade from crop to full frame without breaking the bank at this moment.

Dude did you shoot that opening? Super pro! The 6D is incredible. I've worked on film sets that used those once. Great footage. Yea you can hear the shutter difference. Enjoyed your overall review and comparison.

Great video, clear and concise! Nice one! This has helped me make a decision on which camera to buy! Thank you

Well done Hyun, best review I have seen in quite sometime. :)

Trying to figure out which one to buy and this review and comparison really helped!

Thank you very much. I still use my 5D MK3.

I have the 5d markIV and 6d Mark i as my second. I’m just a hobby photographer though.

Lack of a thumbstick is no longer a disappointment. You can customize the d pad on the 6dII to move the autofocus point without pressing another button. 🙌

Thank You... Great Content.... I believe i will get the 6D mark ii

Today I took my mirrorles fujifilm to repair and I was checking other cameras for future purchases... Good comparison, I'm not convinced yet...prices could go a bit lower... Thanks for this review!

The Canon 5D Mk III is like a V8. Mirrorless cameras are like turbo-charged four bangers. They are highly efficient but don't expect any rumble. A V8 is a V8. For the same reason, after I bought and used the Sony A6000 for some three years now I still keep my Canon 5D Mark III. Since the Mk III is bigger and heavier my best recommended combination is the 40 mm 2.8 pancake lens.

thx for test! i have canon 800d and 6dm2 - both cameras are perfect at video and photography

이런 고가 카메라들은 언제쯤 사용해 볼 수 있을런지요 ㅋㅋ 카메라같은 경우는 짐벌을 꼭 사야하잖아요 그쵸? 그냥 여러장비 필요없어서 고프로 사용하는 것도 있지만 저조도 촬영때문에라도 나중엔 카메라로 넘어 가긴해야될듯한데.. 고민이네요 .. 흠

Good video and helpful I am currently looking for a camera so good information to know 😊👍🏼

I will stick with the 5d mk iii

Base on yoir review... I think if i ever decide to buy one to vlog.. 6D please.. I want a dual AF and 60fps plus flip up touch screen.. should come in handy plus its slightly smaller

The rare review that you can watch with pleasure and use for yourself. Thank you, Ralph! Keep up great work. Regards from Saint Petersburg. Now i am thinking of a body for action portraits, i.e. portraits made in scenes like in cinema, within some environment, so i d need good quick af, and no video at all is needed. So i guess its 5d mark iii, right? With godox ad 200 should be compatible enough in wireless way. Have you tried 1dx, is it much better than 5d mark iii in terms of af? I heard its got the same af processor as 5d miii. The weight and its wireless flash work/compatibility kind of make me rethink for 5d mark iii. Kinda wanted to make sure - it took me tgree months and this one video to 99% decide)

started from the nikon d3200-canon 70d-canon 6d now the canon 5d mark iii

Hi Hyun, quick question that might sound stupid, but i currently have a 200d, flippy screen dual pixel all of that, i don't use the flippy screen at all BUT, my main "work" is mostly on farm animals and stray cats, dogs etc, so i often shoot with live view with the camera super close to the ground to get the most dramatic look on the strays i see. My question is, is the live view mode on the 5DMKIII any good at autofocus or will it be the most frustrating thing ever? side note: i also don't really use face tracking or continuous autofocus in live view (might be dumb of my part haha) thanks

Hello. Hello. Exactly the video I wanted to watch. Concise.

Congratulations on 100k sub

Great comparison.

I still use my Nikon D700 for some of my more "professional" shoots but I am looking to switch body. I definitely don't need 5D Mark iii but 6D Mark ii is something along the lines of what I am looking for. Would Nikon D650 in the similar class as 6D Mark ii? I was looking into..D650... still a bit too expensive for my budget tho. I need something that does video and still well like 6D Mark ii but I am already pretty heavily invested in Nikon lenses. Great video! Production quality of your video is simply amazing.

Thanks. I guess you covered everything i need to know.

No Bullshit... just an honest opinion ..... nice...

But the 6d is not a serious video camera, because it doesn't have the headphone jack. I'd say if you are a videographer buy the 5d mk3 and you can always install magic lantern later if you're missing anything.

I am sold on the 6D MarkII...

Great job on that intro. Did you do the moving lighting effect with your editor or manually?

Very good comparison. Thanks a lot! 👍🏻

5d mark III color is amazing... Better than 6dII

I shoot landscape, street, portrait, macro and indoor events + occasional wildlife (my wife's church). Which one would you recommend? I basically need a swiss army knife body.

All im intetested in is pictute quality and being able to use the camera indoor for events like weddings without using a flash. What is the noise like?.

hey @Raph i found your channel couple days ago i subscribed at the same time because you remind me my primary teacher the way you're explaining things lol, i want some advise from you i'm self taught a video director i'm about to buy a 5d mark iii for my productions videos and photography (event, wedding...) before i want to work as a freelance so is a good camera for video that 5D mark iii ? i don't have enough cash

I just got a used 6D mark ii

Thank you so much and now I'm use canon 5d mark iii

I have the 5d iii should I upgrade to 6d Mark ii ?

Excellent comparison.

Good information. Good job ! I’m looking to upgrade and will be looking for the 5D iii. As I’m not that interested in video

Awesome Video

I’ve had my 5D3 for 6 years now and it’s a great camera. Anyone thinking of doing professional photography is better of with a 5D3 than a 6D2 for the reasons stated in this video. 6D2 is a great camera but it an amateur camera at its core. Although at this point in time, unless one is really looking for a DSLR, the way to go for canon cameras is the R.

It is worth to wait for 90d for sure??.. Or else can I go for 80d

nice video! thanks for sharing! i enjoyed the video~

Hey Ralph I’m looking to buy a second camera to use in conjunction with my EOS R....would you get the RP over either of these?

Loved this video it was very informative. However I have a doubt. I currently have a Canon 750 D. I basically create content around beauty, fashion and lifestyle. I want to upgrade but I’m confused between the Canon 6 mark 2, Canon 5D Mark 4

Still debating between the 5D Mark iii and the 6D Mark II... Just getting into full frame as a hobby/traveling - nothing professional.. lol.. and i'm more about taking photos than video and I don't really care about the dual-slot. Does it still make sense to buy a used 5D Mark iii over a 6D Mark ii despite it being older than the 6D? All the bad reviews on the 6D Mark ii around the web is making me rethink about buying

getting 5d for me would just be for faster shutter speed and more focus point.

Hey `hyun. Question please. Would the 5D mark II be suitable to photograph my baby in different occasions ? Or should I go to another kind of camera?

Great review, thank you

sir i have a 6D mark ii .but where is the silent mood of my camera ??

well i was use to taking pictures only on my phone i never use the camera before so my uncle gave me his old camera a canon 400d 10.1 megapixel and i was using that and i learn the camera and i took some great shots. but then i realize my pictures wasn't looking sharp like the girl pictures who lived next door to me. i was using the tamron 18-200 lens that came with the camera and i notice in low light situations the camera didn't take a good picture and i had the iso at the max which was 1600. the camera don't record video and i notice all of this by using another camera that excels in everything that's what i meant by that. what i meant to say was i wanted a camera with a better auto focus and better in low light and can record video when i want to do that. a couple of people told me to go full frame and look at the canon 5d mark 3 and the canon 6d mark 2 i just want to choose between the ywo and call it a day lol.

Which is the Best for video and photography

If you have a chance, can you please make review video for canon mark 1dx??

I hope you can help me. I have a canon 600d which only have 18 mp and the canon 50 mm 1.8. I am going from hobby to getting paid as a photographer. So I was thinking I need to go full frame and was thinking of canon mark 5 d IV, with a canon 24 70 2.8 lens. I photograph families, kids, newborn and maternity and noticed that many others who shoot that, is using that gear. Would this be the right choice for me? I photograph a lot outside, so I need it to work well in low light too. I need to upgrade, because I want sharper and more professional looking images.

what should i buy i have 70d know 6d markii 5dmarkiii or 90d

Can i use 5D Mark iii for sports fotography ?

Great review!! Cheers 😃

Great video thank you very much :)

very helpful. thanks

I shoot people portraits and sports. Do you think the 6Dmii is a good bet for me?

Very helpful

oh no I'm dying inside to buy all this stuff add more Canon babies collection huhu

I love my 5d mark3, I want to upgrade but the 6d market does not seem like that great of an upgrade

Thank you for the informations

Nice n detail comperision...
