Last year when I first started working in the hospitals as a newborn photographer, I knew that I would be in the market for a new camera. I had a decent one and as we all know, it’s not the camera but the person behind it who makes the photo. But I needed something that had a little more capabilities than my Canon Rebel T2i. I looked at several different options but I finally settled on a Canon 6D.
There were a few reasons why I choose this camera over others. One reason was because it was a full frame sensor. Basically what that means is that when you put a 35mm lens on the camera, the sensor will see the full 35mm. On a crop sensor (like the Rebel T2i) it literally crops the image within the camera so you’re not always getting the whole picture. Of course there are times when a crop sensor is a great feature to have, but I was really looking for the full frame at the time for portraits.
The other reason why I choose the 6D was because of its ISO capabilities. Seriously this camera is a dream. Never had I imagined shooting at 2500 ISO or higher and barely have any noise within the photo. The last two photos from my Project 365 are examples of what I’m talking about. I would have never been able to accomplish the same result with the Rebel T2i. And when I’m in the hospital and there isn’t much light to work with sometimes, the higher ISOs come in handy. I still have to use my flash occasionally, but I really love when I can just use the light that is available.
