What does the COR Score mean?
One consistent scale makes different publishers’ ratings easier to compare. The original review still tells you why a critic reached that verdict.

Check the match
Identify the exact model and the version reviewed. Check the manufacturer code, configuration and supplied accessories.
Compare on one scale
Convert usable ratings to five points, count each publisher once and give each critic equal weight.

Where can I compare prices for Canon EOS 6D?
Use the retailer-offer section on this page for available matched offers. If no offer is shown, we do not currently have a verified price. Confirm model, stock, delivery and the final total at the retailer; coverage does not include every seller.

For some subjects it offers lens choice, controls and handling, but the best choice depends on what you shoot and carry.

No. Mount, electronics and autofocus compatibility vary. Check exact body and lens documentation.
Should I buy used?
It can be sensible if condition, support and return terms are clear. Inspect the complete kit, not only the body.
