Canon eos 6d vs canon eos 5d mark iii?

The Canon EOS 6D and the Canon EOS 5D Mark III are close cousins. Both are full-frame DSLRs announced in 2012, both use the Canon EF mount, and neither has stabilisation in the body. The main difference is resolution: 22.3 megapixels on the 5D Mark III against 20.2 on the 6D.

My take is that the 6D is one of the cheapest ways into full frame on the used market. If you want a little more resolution and don't mind paying for it, the 5D Mark III is the stronger workhorse.

Either body takes the same lenses. Good everyday picks include:

• Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II USM for walking-around shooting
• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM for portraits and sport
• Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as a cheap, light prime
