I want to buy a DSLR for video shooting, but I am confused whether to choose 70D or 6D.

The 6D is an entry-level camera, and the 70D is a mid-range half-frame camera with different positioning. Of course, the image quality is better in the 6D, and the focus system in the 70D is better. It can be said that these two cameras each have their own advantages. Let’s talk about the advantages of Canon 70D. The first is a better focusing system, a shutter speed of up to 1/8000 and a more advanced video shooting system, while Canon 6D’s The advantage is that its full-frame size sensor brings better image quality, so if you don’t particularly care about whether the camera is full-frame, you can consider the Canon 70D. Otherwise, I think the Canon 6D with a larger sensor size is better. Worth choosing.

The difference between full-frame and APS-C

First of all, the image sensor of full-frame is larger than that of APS-C. In terms of image quality, the resolution of 6D (fine imaging and detailed performance) Very good) is larger and more powerful than 70D;

Secondly, let’s talk about high sensitivity. When the light is insufficient, the exposure time will be extended, especially at night. Sometimes, in order to maximize the picture quality of low sensitivity, Because of the quality, you have to use a tripod, but what if you don’t have a tripod? Do I need to increase the sensitivity to reduce the exposure time? The digital image processors of the 6D and the 70D are the same, but the image sensor of the 6D is larger. Under the same high-sensitivity conditions, the 6D has a stronger ability to suppress noise than the 70D.

Thirdly, let’s talk about focus. The 6D’s focus at low brightness is even better than that of the 1DX and 5D3, and it can perform autofocus at -3EV. Fourth, let’s talk about the number of autofocus points. The 70D is a model that focuses on high-speed continuous shooting and tracking and capturing moving subjects (19 autofocus points), while the 6D is a model that focuses on using full-frame resolution for photography. It cannot just To determine the performance level of a camera based on the number of autofocus points, you also need to consider what kind of subjects you are shooting.

In addition, if you want to practice photography, after using SLR for a long time, it is basically a single point focus, and the focus is mainly on the center point. Turning all the focus points is not very helpful for learning photography. The large number is suitable for photographing moving objects. And I personally think that 7D is more professional and cost-effective than 70D (if you need high-speed continuous shooting). The only aspect that the 70D is better than the 6D may be video shooting. After all, the 70D came out later and has newer technology.

Finally, let’s talk about the price. Since the original poster already has a 24-105, you can just buy a 6D stand-alone camera. Equipped with this lens for an APS-C camera, the full value of the lens cannot be reflected. The current stand-alone price of a 6D camera is around 9,900. , is already very low, and 6D maintains its value better than 70D, so the price will not fluctuate greatly within three years. In addition to taking portraits, the 50 setting can also be used to shoot humanistic documentaries and other aspects. The 85 setting and 135 setting are specially used for photographing people. The focal length of 50mm is different from that of 24-105. The large aperture of fixed focus helps to blur the background of portraits. Regarding the 6D shutter, the fastest is only 1/4000 second. Except for extreme environments where a faster shutter is needed, this speed is sufficient for daily situations. And if the poster does not buy 50 1.2 and 85 1.2, this speed is completely enough. If you buy 1.2 large aperture For fixed focus, it is better to replace the camera body with 5D3, but the price will be a little more expensive.
