Comming Canon 6D Mark 11
Jun 2, 2019 12:58:43 #
I am anxious to get my hands on this. I have a 60d (for years) but thought full frame would give me more "sharpness" at print size 13x19. I print my own on a canon pro 9000 with Kodak metallic.
I think I will love the WiFi.
I know the Dynamic range is the same as my 60D, but I do HDL stacking, so that may not be a problem. Noise is a tough one to fight, even with Topaz Denoise.
Does anyone have this camera? What are your thoughts, good or bad?
What about lenses. I love landscapes, I want all the sharpness I can get for a decent budget.

I have had mine for nearly 1 year and love it. I only use L glass type lens with it and it way better than it's owner and can't get enough of it. So many new things to try and never enough time left to do it all.
It takes great images right out of the camera if that's all you really need. And the high resolution jpegs are really all I prefer mostly but it will do far more if that is what you're after.
Good luck sir.

The difference in pixel count is neglegible. If you are using good glass on the 60D I would expect it to be as sharp.
I'm using an 80D. The lens I used here is a Sigma 18-300 zoom, not noted as the sharpest, but adequate. I got the following photo where the watch on the musician's hand is pretty sharp. You can even see the hairs on his arm. I didn't focus on his arm.

Before you go and spend a lot of money with no tangible improvement, maybe you should post a few examples of your current work that does not have the "sharpness" you feel a 6DII will achieve. You might also list out your current lenses to assess which, if any, will be compatible with a 6DII. You might also consider an EOS R / RP where all your EF / EF-S lenses will operate on the new full-frame body via the Canon adapter.
The 60D was not a great noise performer, but how bad is the issue at or below ISO-1600? Are you exposing to the right (ETTR) to maximize the out-of-body images, in RAW, before you begin your processing?
There may be several options that are a better path to success than simply jumping to a new model.

Thanks for your input, as I said it is all ready on its way, I will do extensive testing to see the difference, will post my results for sure.

It might also help to show us an example of inadequate sharpness (store original->Add attachment) so we can see if technique improvement might help.

I bought the Canon 6DM2 about two years ago and am quite happy with it. Noise is a bit of a problem in HDR scenes but that can be solved with bracketing and some HDR processing in post. As for lenses, I do recommend spending the extra $ on L series glass. It does make a big difference. I have two lenses that I use pretty much exclusively for landscapes, the 24-105 F4 IS USM (version 1) and the 70-200 F4 IS USM series 1 both of which I purchased refurbished from Canon.

I have it and I think it is excellent. I use mine with L lenses. No problems at all with this camera.

Many thanks for the info, I am sure I will use this.

I think you will love your new camera. I would suggest, without knowing your current lens selection, the Canon 16-35mm f/4.0L IS, is a stunningly sharp performer and great for landscapes (and a whole lot cheaper than Canon's 'award-winning' 16-35mm f/2.8L III).
Not surprisingly, the older 17-40mm f/4.0L is also a very good landscape lens and can be had for a really reasonable price - currently on sale (new), or find it used, or a favorite way to shop of mine: Canon refurbished products directly from the CanonUSA.com website, click on "SHOP" at the top of the menu selections and then look for the Refurbished gear link. (Note: Canon refurbished gear comes with their same 1-year warranty as their new products.)

I just bought the 6DII recently with the 24-105 F4 L II lens. I was not sure if I was going to keep it as I have my 7DII. Decided to keep it and I have not taken very many photos with it but so far I like it. The 24-105 F4 L II is a great lens; very sharp. I got the camera for landscapes, portraits, etc and because of the higher dynamic range than the 7DII. The 7DII is a great camera that I will continue to use mostly for wildlife or when I want greater range with my telephoto lenses.

Framer is spot on; get the 16-35 f 4.0 L for your Mark II. The sharpest ultra wide zoom you will find at ANYWHERE near its price point. I just upgraded to a 6D and this is going to be my next purchase. I also have the 60D and they make a great combo with the diff. FOVs of FF and DX. Stay with L lenses or equivalent as you will be wasting money with inferior glass.
