I will never pre-order anything again before real test of camera, lesson learn with 6d Markii

I’ve been watching TN and his wife on YouTube video. The more I do, I feel it is entertainment and I am just wasting my time.TN has very little credibility on CR.
May I ask why? If my 6D craps out I am not sure what I would get. Reading up on 6DII has been confusing and unsure the sensor is even better. Like my 6D except dumbed down focusing and. 5D is overkill in size, weight, and complexity. Thanks!I will never pre-order anything again before real test of camera, lesson learn with 6d Markii
I did not preorder the 6D2, but bought it shortly after I could hold one in my hands. I had already read and watched many of the pearl-clutching online comments and videos. I decided to get the STM kit lens instead of the L, so I did have to wait for that version to come in to the store. So far I have found no reason to regret getting that camera or that lens. I did ask here for someone to explain to me how I might demonstrate the dynamic range problems that people were obsessing about, and was basically told to forget about it. Autoexposure on the camera is good enough that I haven't had to try ridiculous adjustments. I always shoot Raw, which may help with that a lot. It probably helps, too, in that I wasn't expecting the camera to be an upgrade to the 5D IV.May I ask why? If my 6D craps out I am not sure what I would get.

Thanks much for your response. I shoot RAW also, find the dynamic range just fine. Focusing accuracy with the center point as amazingly accurate. Works fine, so just thinking about the future should I need another body. Thanks again!I did not preorder the 6D2, but bought it shortly after I could hold one in my hands.

My first excursion with the camera was to a Chinese lantern exhibit at some gardens. It was daylight when we arrived, and dark when we left. Since I was learning and getting used to the camera, I left everything in auto settings, and I think it did well. No shots were out of focus, either. I didn't try to make the twilight or night pictures look like midday. That would have brought up dynamic range issues with any camera. Pictures from that excursion are at http://www.stevelee.name/lanterns/

Out of curiosity, what went wrong for you?I will never pre-order anything again before real test of camera, lesson learn with 6d Markii
Well, is good camera. I don't like focusing points they are to close to each other, no joystick but you can get around that with touch screen, dynamic range is not the best. After bad review's camera price drop $1000.00 in couple month's. And this is a reason i will never pre-order again. Overall i am happy with the camera.Out of curiosity, what went wrong for you?
It's always best to explain. If you just say that you will never pre-order again, the rest of us will not learn.Well, is good camera.

So do I. Especially for what the 4k-specs can do and how the new Sensor is performing. If it's ok, I'll wait for a price at ~900,-€.I'm still waiting for the official specs, ....
As to the focusing points: They cover less area than the other Canon FF cameras, but not a huge amount smaller. The internet hype makes it sound like it is night and day, but really the difference is not huge. That said, because of the smaller sensor size and having the same amount of space for the AF sensor, the crop cameras like the 80D and the 7D2 have much better coverage than any of the FF cameras.
Sometimes it seems like the more people on the forum complain, the better the camera sells......I wrote this post on page 2, and it was spot on.
"This will be just like the 6D MkII. Haters will abound, just like they did then. The camera will come out, and all will be resolved. This is propaganda 101. It will continue as an experiment into how far they can go to trash a product in the quest for dominance of the social media market. They failed to dog the 80D, or the 6D MkII.
It's already began, and watch how many detractors vs. unbiased observers chime in. I'm predicting 3 or 4 to 1. Mark my words.
I would like to continue to use my ES series lenses into the future, and the 90D may be the last of the camera's that will be using them as an option. The hate for this camera will trump all others, as that's where we are with social media now. Maybe the hate for this camera can drop the price quickly, like they did with the 6D MkII. Watch for an insignificant review to be pounced upon, like the ISO 100 fallacy of the 6D MkII's performance. Like the 6D MkII's performance, it will be a great seller."
If you look through these posts, there is almost a stunning amount of frivolity and just plain "Canon hate" going on here. It's almost nauseating, but predictable. ;-)
