I hope they make the WiFi connection process less intuitive. It only takes me about 15 minutes to get it working on my 6D. /s

Well, here we go. 6D2 details coming in soon. Now we see if all those Bothan spies died for nothing.

The info seems to be on schedule. I believe that manufacturing is well underway, the approvals are just adding existing modules to new camera models, testing is done to insure compliance, but approval is rubber stamp.

I'd guess sometime between May and August for a announcement.

 

[LSXPhotog]

Very cool to see this thing finally happening. Very curious to see what the SL2 has to offer as well since I have an SL1 as a fun little camera.

 

[Jopa]

Awesome! Can't wait to see the SL2!!! With the same sensor as the 80d and ability to natively mount any EF lens this will be da bomb

Any chance there is a 5DSR Mark II nestled in this release somewhere ............ ?

The logic of Canon releases tells us that, only after a few months of availability of a body, can be announced another model of the same category.
That is, there will be not 5DS update this year.

I am very excited about 6D2. I have no hope but I would buy one if they implemented 4K compressed video like the A7S. I can live with a crop. If the crop is somewhere in the APS-C size would be better. Another equally interesting feature for me is 1080p @ 120 fps

Hurray! I hope they certify that the 4K video doesn't suck. Where's the agency for that?

 

[Talys]

Hmm. Bundle with the new 24-105 L II (just a guess, but I don't think it's an outlandish one)... I don't think I could say no.

 

[CanonCams]

So, my question is...


What is a 'certification agency' ?

 

[Woody]

Looks like Canon is going all out with their lower end cameras this year. They are probably motivated by their ~ 50% market shares for ILC in 2016. ;D

 

[H. Jones]

I'm weirdly excited to see how the 6D Mark II ends up. I'm not in the market for an upgrade right now, after buying my 1DX mark II, but if it does compete well against my 5D mark III for AF/FPS, and has a flip-out screen it might make a great third body to shoot landscapes/videos with. I think Canon has the space to make this a very enticing camera, even for the more professional end of things.

So, my question is...


What is a 'certification agency' ?

Not even close to an expert on this, but I'd assume this refers to agencies that certify wireless components on being safe and within required wireless frequencies.

I am cautiously optimistic.

I want to jump into FF, but I found 6D to be a bit old, and the MK IV to be too expensive for my tastes.

If this ends up being around 2K with the suggested specs, it would be just what the doctor ordered.

 

[sanj]

The lightest, smallest FF body with great IQ and focus. Thats all pls. No 2 card slots required. Thx.

So, my question is...


What is a 'certification agency' ?

You know when you look at a router, or a wireless phone, or whatever, and you see an FCC logo and it says "This device complies with Part B of FCC regulations. 1) It cannot cause interference with any device. 2) It must accept any interference caused by other devices." or something similar to that? Nothing can be sold in the US with any wireless functionality without being certified by the FCC and bearing (usually) that marking. Other countries have similar agencies.

If you follow cell phone rumors you'll see the same sort of approvals published (they're public record) shortly before the devices are officially announced. Same for video game consoles, TVs, and... wait, what's sold these days that doesn't have wifi, Bluetooth, NFC, or something else?

That D-Pad can be a little higher, I hate the current position of D-Pad on 80D, 70D, 6D and 60D. Either canon should bring back the joystick or just change the position of that D-Pad. Just look at how easy it is to use AF point selector on Nikon bodies with DPad being placed in easy reach of thumb.

Not even close to an expert on this, but I'd assume this refers to agencies that certify wireless components on being safe and within required wireless frequencies.

thenewcamera.com has a subtitle underneath that looks like a bad translation. It reads:

"Products which are using WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. They need to get certification from Bluetooth and WiFi certification Agencies worldwide prior to its announcement. Once, these agencies check the product emitting Specific absorption rate (SAR) is under safety standards, they award the certificate."

http://thenewcamera.com/canon-6d-mark-ii-and-canon-150d-next-announcement-from-canon/

It's important that your shiny new camera not interfere with cordless phones, radios, that kind of thing. I suspect Canon would need approval from regulatory agencies like CE, FCC, CSA, etc. Also, different countries have different WiFi regulations (what channels, permissible gain, and that kind of thing).

Canon has a scheme for the internal numbering of their models, so you can determine the general type from the starting letters of that Model code. DSLR's start with DS and powershots start with PC. I'm not sure what M models use. So, if you find a unidentified DSXXX camera being registered, that could be it.
