Canon 6D vs. T3i

a full frame camera will take the picture with the most of the image in the frame, the crop sensor is going to take more of a zoomed in picture which fills the frame more, which is why its called a crop sensor, it crops the picture basically.

the canon 6D is better than the T3i because it has cool and better features like that its water sealed, has low noise at high ISO, it has a GPS, longer battery life, and shoots faster.

it is faster at focusing because it has more focus points, The EOS 6D has an eleven point autofocus array with one cross-type AF sensor in the center.
