Canon EOS 6D Mark II Registered With Certification Body

[midluk]

I'm new here, so sorry if I missed some point, but are we sure that "DS126631" is really for the 6D Mark II ?

This code already appeared last year in a product certification news and was linked to the Canon 77D/T7i.

I think those links between internal DS numbers and official product names are just speculation until somebody has really had its hands on the final product. Not sure if the numbers of the 77D and 800D are known for sure yet, but if none of them is DS126631 (which means the rumor you linked was wrong), then chances are good this is the 6D2.

I checked the wight/size difference between this and 5d4. Not much. So I now have no interest in this camera. It was meant to be my light weight travel camera. Ah well.

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.

There will not be a 5DS/RII next year either. Probably not even in 2018. Despite all the expectations that SONY would reply with a 50+ MPIX model very fast - nothing so far - 50 MPIX is still King of the Hill. Canon's 80-120 MPIX upgrade can easily wait a couple of years.

Just bought a 7DII and angle finder ... so I hope it doesn't have 45 AF points, lots of f/8 compatible, dual SD card slots, tilty flippy screen,

Product picture suggests 21 AF points. I would have hoped 41 or more. Can 21 AF points be used for serious shooting without reframing?

Product picture from where?

Think he's looking at that simulation pic from Omesh, the front view on the mirror shows three rows of seven

To be clear it is just a photo edit to simulate what I'd want to see, it's not a real product pic. I've stated previously that (due to economies of scale) it would make sense to copy&paste the 61pt AF system from the 5D series rather than spend R&D on a new weaker system. When one considers dwindling camera sales, it makes sense to consolidate.

FYI, I've done a full video discussing my expectations and some speculation regarding the 6D-II over here: https://youtu.be/OZ8thdGzc0U

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 in same club...1dx2 and a 5d3....I am tempted by 5d4...but dont NEED it.. 5d3 is ok..
but some fun-zy features and 2 more notches of sensitivity... sound cool..

 

[StudentOfLight]

I'd like to see the 6D-II well enough differentiated and compelling enough to 5-series owners to have them add it to their kit as a great complement to the 5-series body rather than have it being seen as a cannibalistic threat.
i.e. I hope Canon Marketing positions it as a cross-sell, not a down-sell.

If you follow the source on this link:

http://www.camera-rumors.com/canon-eos-6d-mark-ii-got-registered/

it goes to nokiS___a-camera. I don't read a word of Japanese, but DS126631 links to this page:

http://www.nokiS___a-camera.com/2016/12/20161227.html

And ES202 (WiFi) links to a PDF file in Chinese.

That PDF file under the Chinese character for "7", has a date that looks like a Taiwan date, with year 105, Month 10 Day 27. Which converts to October 27, 2016.

For whatever that is worth

And no, I don't read much Chinese either, but Taiwan (aka Minguo) calendar dates are very easy to spot. For those not aware, just add 1911 to the "Year" and you have a normal Gregorian date.

Question then..

Would the 77D or the T7i be going through a certification phase this close to being released? (It is shipping March 30th per Amazon)


This is the rough translation via google for that page;

CP + ended and it came down, so we gathered the information at the present moment. Canon's SLR is a rumored KissX 7 successor and 6D successor.
Since Sony is often announced within two months after being registered with China MIIT, I would like to expect that a new model will be announced in the near future.

I am looking for three things; any two would make me buy:

• Additional dynamic range
• Better low light capability (primarily less sensor noise {not noise reduction, less actual noise})
• WiFi access to RAW images via webserver/page so I don't have to use cable or card

These would be awesome bonuses, but are not enough to make me buy by themselves:

• Intervalometer
• In-camera stacking modes with alignment tools (median, average, etc.)
• More low-light capable focus points
• More user-presets on mode dial

I don't care at all about video, EVF, or tilt screen (actually don't want this, strikes me as something all too easy to break.)

The 6D hit the market as a reasonably priced, very effective low-light camera. I bought it on that basis. I'm ready to go further down this road, and it is my sincere wish that Canon sees the camera the way I do, as a product aimed straight at us low-light types.

The only thing that would stop me buying the 6D replacement would be the omission of optional focusing screens. I can get great results when I can actually focus on the point I chose. Instead I might look for nice used older full frame EOS.
