Connectivity and Storage
Thanks to the
built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity feature, Canon 6D lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. One other feature that we like is the ability to use our smartphone as a remote to control our 6D. You can change camera settings, release shutter, view LCD screen and tranfer files using remote control app.
You can connect 6D to compatible devices via its HDMI port or USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/sec) port.
Battery

Considering that the average battery life of DSLR type cameras is 911 shots, its battery life is about average in its class but it would still be wise to invest in some spare batteries for long photo trips.
