Please give me red lighted AF points like the 6d, not black squares like 5d4.

Please give me AF comparable to 80d.

I do not care a fig about anything else except maybe sync speed faster than 1/160. Give me this and I will buy a 6d2.

Won't happen... The 6D2 would cannibalize on them 5D4, 1Dx and 1Dx2 then. ;-ppp

probably not, seems the way canon's going actually. if you want a better AF and viewfinder system, guess what you are going to get.

time to start spamming nokiS___a-camera and the other japan sites to see what transpires. if indeed these are announced in July.

canon hasn't done many releases in July. the only one that comes to my mind is the EOS-M

usually they are late June, or August. My prediction for the announcement is July 28th.

If I currently had no cameras, this would make an amazing 2 body kit. But I do.

The #1 feature I'm looking for in the 6D2 is DUAL CARD SLOTS.

Without this, there's no sale.

If the 6D2 has dual cards, I will purchase that and a 7D2 to compliment it. Total price will be about what a 5D4 is maybe a touch more - but with the pros of each separated out over two bodies.

If the 6D2 is single slot --

I'm probably going to jump the fence and go Nikon for my next gen stuff. Right now, the D750 is $1,500 and the D500 is $1,800. That's the price of a single 5D4 and that is a very powerful combo of bodies (speed and quality). For a thousand more, swapping out the D750 for the D810 which is $2,500 gives one everything they need. I prefer the Canon system, but the VALUE in these Nikon combos are just way too much.

I considered going 5D4 if the 6D2 is single slot - but this would be playing right into Canon's hands and letting them get away with their BS crippling tactics for up-selling. Not doing that. Besides, $3,200 for a single body that does not out perform 2014 era cameras is not too appealing.

Sorry for the off-topic query, but what does " nokiS___a-camera" mean and why do people write it that way?

Thanks.

Im still on the fence whether to wait for the 6D II or go all out on the 5D IV.

Would I be missing anything from the 6D II you guys think?

theres this wedding coming up that i want to take pictures of. im not the photographer, just want to grab pics.

Sold my 70D, still got my 24-70mm L 2.8 II lens waiting to be mounted on something.

the sole thing that attrcts me is the 6d II is like the full frame version fo the 80D lol

For new grip I hope Canons adds a joystick to it and moves the 8-way d-pad up by couple of cms so.

Sounds like there's a touch of patience required. The full 6DII spec list can't be too far away. Until then, any kind of informed decision is impossible. Whatever the 6DII spec list is, don't expect a feature for feature match with the 5DIV. The 6DII is certain to disappoint some and thrill others.

Re: EOS 6D Mark II & EOS Rebel SL2 to be Announced at the Same Time [CR2]

Only spec I hope to see with the 6DII is a 24MP sensor...my original 6D is doing a great job, despite the older sensor tech. So an improved new sensor maybe will deliever much better high ISO...12800 onward.

Well they are going to leave some of the more appealing features off the 5DMk4 for the 6DMk2. As some have said, dual card slots could be one. Lack of joystick control still (is that a biggie with a touchscreen?).

The video functionality will be reduced, but as the 5DMk4 can't even to 2160p50/60 it already sucks, and if video isn't your thing then it's not a consideration.

For me the biggest things are the DPAF, focus points and the Dynamic Range. Im probably going to be disappointed about dynamic range, and from what I have read about 5DMk4 images are still a little softer than others (but you can fix that in post).

So if you don't care much about video, dual CF slots or a joystick, you'll probably be okay with the 6DMk2
