Canon bores us again.

No word on a high MP / high DR body? :-\

Oh well. The wait continues..

6D - YAY
With 11 point AF - NAY

Hope it's 7D AF at the least and available soon.

 

[samirachiko]

Hope to see a really innovative canon 6D like the Nikon D600!

Articulated screen, built-in time-lapse, built in flash ecc

PLEASE NO a stupid touch screen

 

[DzPhotography]

I will be visiting Photokina on Thursday & Friday

So the specs of 6D is settled

So the specs of 6D is settled

No one knows if it's real :

 

[Meh]

So will be tonight around midnight EST? Hope the 6D is crap... so I won't feel bad about my 5D2. I don't want to get laughed at and ridiculed when out in public. People with modern cameras already laugh when they see the outdated CF cards I still use and don't even have an articulating LCD. It's embarrassing.

Then they don't know what they're talking & laughing about... :

 

[Meh]

Hmmmm..... photoprice.ca is already showing a link for 6D but of course no actual prices from any resellers... but still, there must be some confidence in this product being released with the rumored specs.

 

[bvukich]

So the specs of 6D is settled

It's still a rumor until an announcement is made. Until then it's wild speculation and guessing, with sides of wishful thinking, and pessimism.

 

[mathino]

IF 6D would have 11 point AF (cross-type) with center point double cross-type then OK - I will probably get one. If it is just 1 cross-type point - 5D Mk II is better for my needs. Fingers crossed !

Well honestly, what did you expect? You get out of the house and all of your lenses don't even have a red ring around them? I bet you secretly have a 580 flash too. Whats to point of evn going out to take pictures, you don't stand a chance. ;D

That's another point of embarrassment, thanks for making me feel worse... people are always pointing out that I don't even have the flash built in and have to put a big old flash on. Sometimes when I put it on outdoors then even children start pointing and laughing and saying things like "oh, his camera is old it even needs a flash on sunny day... what was that made in like 2009.. hahaha" and then I have to reply "yeah, well your mother is fat so there".

no problem as long as it's cheap around 1500.

 

[photogaz]

a new 35L maybe now the 24-70 II has gone to retail?

What about a new 300 f4?

I think it wont come cheaper then 2k. Well, Im not saying Ill buy it right after announcement but Im ready for 2k price tag (with AF imrpoved compared to Mk II). If its just 1 cross-type in the center I would take a second look at Mk II.

...I think that it was published on canonwatch that current 650D AF module is better then 5D Mk II. So putting worse AF then Rebel line into entry FF makes no sense to me...

A $2500 MSRP would mean a €2500 MSRP price in Europe. That would be a NON-competitive price. For 400 euro more, you can get the 5D MKIII. It just does not make sense unless it is the opening price that needs to go down with at least 600 euro but only after 4 to 6 months. By then, most may have saved the money to buy the 5D MKIII

BTW:


Photokina opens on September 18th.

http://www.photokina.com/en/photokina/home/index.php

Is it common for exhibitors to bring out announcements one day before opening? So on the 17th?
