Wow. CR Guy linked a CW story.

Must be a slow week... :

Hurry up, please – the sooner we get the actual specs, the sooner we can start criticizing them, bashing the camera, and predicting doom for Canon based on facts instead of merely speculation.

I was waiting for the 6dII since forever. I gave up a week ago and bought a used 1dx. Dont regret it.

I pretty sure we can expect a 5d3 with updated software and a more entry-level body & dials design. Something similar to the 80D. I would be suprised if there are any main features missing in the 5d4.

Obviously Canon is delaying the Camera to support 5d4 sales. As the jump from the mark 3 to the mark 4 wasn't that big the 6d2 will be a real threat to the 5d4-sales.

I can imagine that the numerous rumors of the 6d successor is hurting 6d sales significant. Would be interesting if there are any data about this topic out there. Canon is late with the mark 2, I expect instant availability in stores.

you're acting as if they waited for the specifications first

+1 I'm looking forward to criticizing whatever way they implement and hobble the 4K capabilities of the camera

 

[Hector1970]

I'm not buying it if it's not a mirror less camera

 

[Luds34]

I just want to buy it so let's hurry this up now. June, July, and August are nice times to be out shooting where I live.

Don't know what the fuss is with those things: I just took the mirror out of my 7D Mk II - and it's crap, now..!

We don't have to wait, let's start now! Round 108..... ;D

 

[LesC]

Just don't see the appeal of mirrorless at the moment - if the 6D was made mirrorless, the body might be a bit smaller but L series lenses would still be the same size/weight.

No.The sooner we get it announced we can marvel about the 6DIII specs ;D

Not at all...

The article says in July of 2021, we will see the new 6D2:

So sorry 4 more years... :

I wouldn't bother getting your wallet out then. Cause it won't be. :

 

[LonelyBoy]

I'm not buying it if it's not a mirror less camera

So, what will you be doing with your money instead?

 

[ScottyP]

Please at least af equivalent to 80d.

Sync speed not less than 1/200 (seriously why cheap out so much)?

Red illuminated AF points.

High ISO performance not worse than 6d1. Don't just add megapixels if you can't keep high ISO looking as good as before. I'd actually rather see the MP stay the same and then see the high ISO image quality improve.

That's it. That's all I need to be a buyer.

I can imagine that the numerous rumors of the 6d successor is hurting 6d sales significant. Would be interesting if there are any data about this topic out there...

Number 16 on the Amazon best seller's list. Nikon D810 at #36 and D750 at #37. Canon 5DIV at #8, 5DIII at #11. So, I would say that the rumors aren't exactly killing 6D sales.

Obviously Canon is delaying the Camera to support 5d4 sales. As the jump from the mark 3 to the mark 4 wasn't that big the 6d2 will be a real threat to the 5d4-sales.

This is why it's most likely they'll nerf the 6D2 with 1 card slot and/or 19pt AF system. Or the 45pt AF but without any advanced tracking or intelligence.

Some people assume that it will be a FF 80D. Why? The 6D was not a full frame 70D. 70D had more AF points and speed.

So it is entirely possible that Canon can introduce a 6D2 with low AF-point system.

Very doubtful.

One, the 70D came out well after the 6D. And two, Canon is not using such simple reasoning to determine their AF system in any of their cameras. They are doing their homework, evaluating the market, and for the case of a camera such as the 6D, which has a much longer product cycle, they will be thinking more long term. In short, I'd be shocked if it did not come out with a 40+ point AF system with decent tracking ability.
