I find in general, OLED viewfinders (and in the rare case, OLED rear monitor) seem to super-saturate the colors, while TFT viewfinders seem more "natural". Which means to me that the colors pop more when I look at them in the viewfinder, and if I wanted them to pop after unloading them to the computer, I would need to raise the levels somewhat in post processing. Another thing that I don"t notice but OLED displays tend to have a true black color, while TFT LCD displays don"t.

But for me, the big reason I prefer OLED viewfinders is I need to wear polarized sunglasses ALL of the time when I"m outdoors in daylight. This is because strong sunlight tends to make my migraines worse, and sunglasses can help reduce the frequency. All TFT LCD displays (both EVF and rear monitor) have one orientation where there are distortions when viewed through polarized sunglasses. What the distortion is tends to depend on the exact display and presumably your polarized sunglasses. OLED viewfinders and displays don"t have distortions, though often one orientation is darker than the other.

In general, the distortion for TFT LCD viewfinders that I notice is for all TFT LCD cameras except the E-m5 mark II and the old removable viewfinder (VF-2) is if I shoot in horizontal (landscape) orientation, there are horizontal waves. One wave has the image clear, while the next wave I can"t see the image at all. With practice I can set the focus point to be in the area that is clear, and frame the shot. But it is annoying to do that. The E-m5 mark II and VF-2 viewfinders go completely opaque and are unusable.

Most rear monitors (except for the E-m5 mark I and TG-2 in my experience, and a few others according to the spec sheet) are TFT LCD. Unlike the TFT LCD viewfinders, the orientation that is problematical is vertical (or portrait). But the distortion effect is less pronounced on the rear display.

I do recall one other poster that had migraines, but was happier with the TFT LCD viewfinders. That is because the refresh rate on the TFT LCD viewfinders tended to be higher the OLED viewfinders used in the past, and you could even set the refresh rate higher if you were willing for your batteries to drain much quicker. I believe that the OM-1 OLED display does have a higher refresh rate. I don"t know if the new OM-5 similarly has a higher refresh rate or not.

The Canon EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera with 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF Canon Lens is a full-frame 20.2MP DSLR offering exceptionally high image quality and detail while providing compatibility and convenience through its design and features. When paired with the powerful DIGIC 5+ image processor and 14-bit A/D conversion, the full-frame sensor is capable of recording vivid imagery with expanded sensitivity up to ISO 102400. The processing power also affords intelligent noise reduction techniques and the ability to record continuous still images at a rate up to 4.5 full resolution fps.

The Canon EOS 6D employs an 11-point autofocus system for acquiring precise focus regardless of the shooting situation, which is further enhanced by a center cross-type focus point for improved low-light focus sensitivity. The iFCL 63-zone dual layer metering sensor also benefits from the autofocus system when making exposure measurements, and analyzes color and luminance values within the scene to determine accurate exposure settings.

Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS technologies also provide extensive connectivity to the 6D. The built-in Wi-Fi capability allows you to take remote control over the 6D when used in conjunction with the Canon EOS Remote app (available for iOS and Android), as well as instantly share the images from your camera to your phone or to the CANON iMAGE GATEWAY. The GPS receiver will automatically record locational data and embed this information into the metadata of your images, allowing you to geotag your shots and map out where each shot was taken.

The 6D features a smaller form factor compared to other full-frame DSLRs, but still integrates a large 3.0" 1,040K-dot TFT LCD monitor for clear playback and review of your imagery. The construction of the body integrates an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis within a magnesium and polycarbonate shell for durability while still maintaining a lightweight profile.

Included with this kit is Canon"s EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS USM AF lens. This standard zoom lens provides a useful range of focal lengths from wide angle to standard portrait length. It features Image Stabilizer Technology for reduction of camera shake up to 3 stops and is constructed with 1 Super-UD glass element and 3 aspherical lenses for great image clarity.

In addition to contributing to the low-light sensitivity, the DIGIC 5+ processor also delivers overall speed and power to the 6D and utilizes dual 4-channel A/D converter front-end processing circuits for expedited conversion of both JPEG and RAW file formats. This enables a maximum continuous shooting rate of 4.5 full resolution frames-per-second as well as greater noise reduction when working at higher ISOs. The DIGIC 5+ processor also provides real-time compensation for chromatic aberration when working with both still and moving imagery.

Exposure settings can be controlled remotely from your smartphone when using Canon"s proprietary iOS and Android app, Canon EOS Remote, allowing you to make exposures and modify camera settings from a distance. You can also review imagery from your camera on your smart device, and transfer files wirelessly. Full DNLA (Digital Living Network Alliance) compatibility is supported, which enables you to share your images from the 6D with other household products such as HDTVs, tablets, and other Wi-Fi-enabled Canon cameras. You are also able to upload still images directly to CANON iMAGE GATEWAY, allowing you to then easily share images with social networking sites without the use of a computer.

The Canon EOS 6D integrates an 11-point AF system for fast and precise focusing regardless of your subject matter or working situation. These 11 points provide even coverage across the entire frame while a more refined center cross-type point with EV -3 sensitivity provides more efficient, accurate low-light focusing. One-shot AF, AI Servo AF, and AI Focus AF are all available depending on one"s needs, and furthermore the AI Servo mode is customizable in regard to focus tracking, acceleration, and deceleration sensitivities, as well as 1st or 2nd image priority adjustments. Lens data can also be entered and customized within the camera for greater focus refinement when working with wide-angle or telephoto lenses.

Also contributing to sharp focus, the Canon EOS 6D incorporates a large, bright pentaprism viewfinder with 21mm eye point and 97% frame coverage for clear viewing of the scene. This construction greatly benefits the manual focusing capabilities, as well as general low-light composition.

The Canon EOS 6D contains a large full-frame sensor within a compactly-sized body for greater portability without sacrificing image quality. The body features an aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis with a magnesium and polycarbonate exterior for durability. The shutter rated up to 100,000 cycles.

The 3.0" Clear View TFT LCD provides high quality viewing with a 1,040,000-dot resolution and anti-reflection coating. This allows for sharp and clear viewing in even the brightest of conditions and displays images and videos with great detail and richness. The display also features a viewing angle up to 160° for review from the side or below.

When used in conjunction with Live View mode, a smaller display is superimposed over the image. Live View mode permits real-time image review and can also place grid lines over the image for compositional help. A built-in electronic level is available for maintaining consistent horizons or for lining up parallel lines within a scene. You can also zoom into and navigate within the image when in Live View and use the grid lines for minute control and precision over the alignment of your photograph.

Scene Intelligent Auto mode incorporates a number of Canon"s automatic exposure technology together in order to output a well-refined exposure. Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure are all employed to intelligently analyze the scene at hand and produce the most effective exposure settings to clearly render your subject matter.

I bought a 6D Fall 2013 and have been on a photo binge, immersing myself in the features and performance of this camera. I also own a 5D MK II and 60D, and the 6D is a near marriage of the two older cameras: full frame innards of the 5D MKII coupled with the petite form factor and controls of the 60D. Toss in Wi-Fi, GPS, AF tweaks, enhanced high ISO, and that"s the 6D in a nutshell.

The 6D is a handsome camera with top notch fit and finish: tough magnesium body shell, engineering grade plastic top panel and lightly textured matte black paint. The plastic top panel was used to enhance Wi-Fi/GPS reception. Canon claims the 6D is weather resistant to the same level as the 7D and 1N and, indeed, mist and light rain don"t faze it but I"d protect it in a downpour. The textured rubber grip is comfortable for my medium sized hands and feels secure. It"s noticeably smaller and lighter than a 5D MKII and the same size and weight as the 60D.

The 6D is very quiet. My 5D MKII and 70D thunder next to it. However, if quiet isn"t enough, silent drive mode can fade operation to pianissimo, making it idea for stage and intimate ceremonies.

Overall image quality is the same as the 5D MKII from ISO 100 to 1600, i.e., great! The big wow of the 6D is high ISO performance. By ISO 3200 the 6D starts to pull away from the 5D MKII and is shockingly good at ISO 6400 and 12800 with noise reduction. Beyond ISO 12800 is emergency use only for me but if I ever need to shoot at ISO 102400 that center AF point should be up to the task. I"m not an avid "shadow lifter" but the 6D is amazingly clean--less patterned artifacts--and you can bump up shadows another stop over the 5D MKII if needed.

Although the 6D is a prosumer camera aimed at hobbyists, it lacks a popup flash. I use a Speedlite 430EX II and it works great but I miss having a popup for fill and E-TTL trigger use. If you"re looking for a small Speedlite, consider the Canon 270EX II Speedlite: it fits in a pocket, can bounce and is about twice as powerful as a popup. If you want to go really small, the 90EX is about as about as strong as a popup but also works as a E-TTL trigger/commander for larger Speedlites like the 430EX II.

I often use a tripod and installed an Arca quick release plate, the Sunwayfoto PC-6D QR Plate. It"s perfectly contoured to the bottom of the 6D, has double anti-twist lips and a loop for a hand strap.

I rarely use the 6D for video since it lacks movie servo and an articulating screen. Live view contrast focus is extremely accurate but too slow for anything beyond landscapes and still life. However, HD video quality is excellent if you don"t mind prefocusing or using manual focus. Below is a two camera clip I shot with the 70D and 6D, the 6D being the second camera with an off-center subject (me!):

Canon"s blend of features from multiple cameras make the 6D the a highly evolved and refined camera. Tried and true works for me: menus, features and controls were very familiar. I barely needed to crack the manual. I also love the small form factor combined with full frame format. It"s easy on the shoulder, able to capture clean and vivid images in almost any light and, for me, a wonderful landscape and travel DSLR.

Postscript: The EOS 6D MK II debuted Summer 2017, replacing the popular 6D. It fixed the AF shortcomings of the 6D, added a "smart" viewfinder, articulating LCD and Bluetooth but didn"t improve image quality much. Here"s my EOS 6D MK II review.
