We have completed our unscientific poll about the upcoming Canon EOS 6D Mark II and these are the results from your input.
What is your favourite upgrade over the original EOS 6D?
45 AF Points | |
Vari-Angle touchscreen LCD | |
Resolution increase to 26.2mp | |
Dual Pixel AF | |
6.5fps |
CR's Take: I definitely agree with the outcome here. The added cross-type AF points is going to make the camera much more enjoyable to use over the original EOS 6D, which is my main DSLR.
What is your biggest gripe about the Canon EOS 6D Mark II?
No 4K Video Capture | |
No Dual SD Slots | |
UHS-1 SD Slot | |
AF point coverage isn't spread out enough | |
No popup flash |
CR's Take: I voted for the AF point spread, it does look a bit tight, though I'm sure it won't be much of an issue once I get used to the camera. The lack of 4K recording does seem to bug a lot of people. I'm not one of them, but I do understand the frustration.
Will you be buying the Canon EOS 6D Mark II?
Yes, it's already been preordered | |
Maybe, but I'll wait for real world reviews | |
I'd love to, but I can't afford it | |
No, this is not the camera for me | |
I'm leaving Canon! |
CR's Take: I've preordered the camera, I don't doubt it'll be a great performer and be a very worthy upgrade over the EOS 6D. I like daily shooting with cameras that don't cost a ton and if it gets stolen or broken, I'll survive.
