Any current 6D owners have one on the way? I'd like to play with some comparison RAW files.

 

[Skywise]

Eagerly awaiting the reviews.

I'm on the fence as there's some nice-to-have features I'd like that my current 6D doesn't but no need-to-have ones. If the DR is roughly equal (enough that a little LR post-processing will cover the spread) I'm leaning towards a maybe.

+- than old 6D with DR and ISO..

 

[arthurbikemad]

Hahaha, all the internet chatter and I know loads of people (not on forums) who have pre orders... The internet say one thing, people do another...lol

 

[Andries]

Got confirmation today that my 6D Mark II has shipped and will arrive tomorrow !
Eagerly waiting to get my hands on it. Will be a great addition to my current 80D !

No 4K and this article on canonrumours

http://www.canonrumors.com/canon-eos-6d-mark-ii-dynamic-range-talk-sample-images/

was enough for me to hold off and hope the 5d5 with 4k (or even 6k) and better compression of video files will deliver the goods.

 

[jmoya]

I'm getting mine in tomorrow. I'll be doing a short unboxing and some file comparison at high ISO between the 5D III and new 6d mark II. Video will be up over the weekend on my youtube channel. Jorge moya. I plan on using it as my cinematic sequence camera on Malaysia and Bali vlogs in 3 weeks. Fingers crossed!!!

What is the little button right next to the shutter but in front of the dial on the top?

 

[Talys]

Are people actually excited about this camera?

Sure. I hope I can pick mine up tomorrow I ordered at a local shop, instead of online, which probably means I'll have to wait longer, but oh well.

Oh crap. I just realized, I have to fill out the form to make sure I get my free jacket & shirt. The jacket actually looks nice.

 

[lightwriter]

Are people actually excited about this camera?

Yep. My other camera is a T4i, so it is an upgrade for me. All the "faults" don't matter to me because I never had them in the first place.

I wanted full frame, and I have some good EF glass, and this was at the price point for me.

This pretty much describes me to a T. Except that also, I really need the articulating screen.

AF Area Selection Mode. Each time you press the button the AF area selection mode changes.

I can see how a lot of Non 6D owners might make the jump to the MkII, and those that really want the articulating screen would want one.

Otherwise...

Feeleing of this camera ( AF, shutter speed reaction, handling, vari angle screen and and.. ) is Great! AF precision on the all AF points ist 100 and 1 then 6D

 

[Andreos]

I'm planning to upgrade my 6D alright ... to a nice used Nikon D750. Canon can take their sensor banding, their amp glow, their crap dynamic range, their insulting marketing segmentation games, and shove them all where the sun don't shine.

Hi,

Sensor banding & amp glow?? I never seen them in my Canon. Anyway, good luck with your Nikon D750... make sure check your Nikon D750 shutter had been fixed if the serial number fall into the latest recall range.

Have a nice day.

Original 6D owner and I could care less about the articulating screen. I upgraded for the modern AF system. Now the camera fits better into the "jack of all trades" thinking. Aka, it can do some action, tracking, ai servo.

 

[dak723]

Are people actually excited about this camera?

Why shouldn't they be? The 6D had excellent IQ, but many folks weren't happy with the AF. The improved AF along with articulating screen will be welcome to many. The IQ will be as good, too, so a lot to look forward to.

Oh, you must mean all that DR hysteria? If you aren't a 5 stop underexposer or a pixel peeper, then the DR would be of little concern, since the original 6D has plenty enough DR to take excellent pics.
