An Update on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II [CR3]

[midluk]

Well. A late April early May release would make sense from the registration information. It's usually around six months out, and it came out in December.

The only thing is the registration list that came out in December never mentioned the MK II.

DS126631
Canon EOS 77D or T7i
Wireless modules: ES202 (Wi-Fi) · WM500 (Bluetooth)

It was only in March that the MK II was mentioned.

notice something the same? like the model number?

Canon has done May / June announcements before. Especially if I recall for off photokina years.

Announcing for NAB wouldn't make much sense, but it's not unheard of for canon to announce with no show around.

Yes, they are the same.. that is my point.

The cameras are not registered under their official names but their internal DS numbers. The news in March was not that a camera named DS126631 was registered, but that this is likely the 6D2. Which means that in December the matching to the 77D or T7i was wrong and the 6D2 was already registered in December.

Now, I tried looking for the registered information for the 77D / T7i and did not find it.

This.

there was a spat of registrations caught in Sept last year I seem to recall.

but I found it curious that IF the last rumor was correct, then this was registered a while back and probably for a spring / early summer release.

I haven't heard of this news "floating around the web". This is sounds like news about non-news and is sort of a click-bait-y headline. Just saying.

I have a Google Pixel phone. When I swipe left on the home screen it brings me to the old Google Now screen. Not sure what they call it these days. But I constantly have a card telling me the 6D is going to be announced on April 27th. The name of the website is "The New Camera".
Of course when I first saw it, I came here as I assumed it was clickbait.

There has been an announcement date of April 21, 2017 for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II floating around the web, we have confirmed that this is not accurate.</p>
<p>We’re still hearing late Q2 or early Q3 of 2017 for an announcement and ship date.</p>
<p>I only recall one DSLR ever being announced for NAB, and that was the EOS-1D C, so this shouldn’t come as a surprise.</p>
<p>For the moment, we know that Canon will be announcing the EOS 5D Mark IV C-Log update, along with at least one Cinema EOS lens for NAB 2017.</p>

CR's emphasis on what is factual is what keeps me (and probably others) coming back to CR. The admin here is quite sticky about only posting what has at least minimal credibility. In fact, as is illustrated here, they even go out of their way to do some fact checking for other sites. Despite that, I've not known another source to be onto any info ahead of them. Quite a feat if you ask me.
At this point I don't visit any other sites for this kind of info. Canon could release an army of products and I be none the wiser if CR didn't post on it.

A buddy mentioned to me the other day this possible release date. First thing I did was run over here looking for this rumor, only to see nothing. I figured if it were credible I'd see something on this forum.

Either way I'm just interested, anxious in this camera and have been ready for it to arrive yesterday.

the high accurate information comes from either digicame-info.com or lately from nokishita-camera.com

and now again:

so this has been showing up since December now.

I could see this points to a May / June release date IMO.

Then the announcement should be in April. As they generally announce a month or so ahead of release.

If I had to guess I'd say the official announcement would be on 8-9 May with product availability end of May for first batches. Mid-June for lower priority markets.
