Enjoy, the 6D remains one of the very best DSLRs out there even four years on. Adequate dynamic range, great high-ISO performance and excellent color.
My favorite 6D feature is the interchangeable focusing screen. I use mostly Zeiss manual focus prime lenses on mine, and the "S" precision matte screen is a delight.

My new (refurbished) 6D just arrived! I wasn't expecting it until tomorrow, so was very happy when Fed Ex delivered it this morning around 9:30 AM. I've noticed the menu interface is a little different than on my 7D Mark II. Instead of having, for example, a Camera tab with several sub-tabs, like the 7D2, the 6D has multiple camera tabs, multiple playback tabs, etc. Similar but not exactly the same. I also noticed right off the bat that this camera feels just a tad smaller and is noticeably lighter than the 7D2.
I just popped on my 24-105 f4L and noticed right away how much wider the wide end is and how much you give up with a crop frame camera! I can't wait to get this thing out on a decent day and try some landscapes, street shots, etc. I may put on the 300 f4 and try some bird shots as well.
Since this was a refurb, I was interested to see what the shutter out was. I've seen some people talk of very low shutter count on refurb cameras. This one had a shutter count of 482 out of the box. I've heard of lower on reforms, but I'm ok with 482. Heck, I've shot more than that on a sing;e day with my 7D2.
