Full frame dslr -your opinion please

I remember someone having a Hutech modded 5D Mk111 so presumably they'd do a 6D.

I am a bit confused as to why you would want to mod a 6D, from what I have seen it has a good Ha response out of the box.

I've not heard of them (DSLR Astromod) but will make some enquiries.

Thanks for the share.

Canon 6d1 more suitable for AP than 6d2 (lower iso noise etc - great news considering the huge price differential of around £500 new.

The non-articulating screen disadvantage is a minor issue that can be overcome with an inexpensive 7" HDMI led monitor - currently available for £30-£45 and ultimately able to be positioned just where you want it.

Will running HDMI produce more heat, if so I would'nt do it.

Good question.

I've not needed to actually measure the temperature, but from experience I can say that I've not perceived any increase.

Importantly, using an external monitor turns off the on-camera screen and that in itself potentially lowers internal temperature since the LEDs & associated processor/electronics will be off along with a little less drain on the battery also (batteries produce heat as they discharge).

Additionally, an external monitor can be switched off & on as needed.

My best evaluation is that ext monitoring would reduce camera heat if anything, maybe someone will test?

Did you ever get a response/ enquire about getting a 6d modded?

If so, how did you get on?
