Canon EOS 6D Mark II Talk [CR1]

[Canon Rumors]

<p>There has been a bit of chatter since the EOS 5D Mark IV announcement about the upcoming Canon EOS 6D Mark II. We’re told to expect the camera in the first half of 2017, with CP+ in February being a strong possibility for an announcement. We’re told the new camera is going to be 25mp (prototypes exist), have an articulating screen, dual SD card slots and shoot some form of 4K. I’d assume DPAF is also going to be included in the camera. Also expect some weight savings and a slightly smaller size.</p>
<p>This is [CR1], so treat it accordingly.</p>
<p><em>More to come…</em></p>

Yess! Depending on the price (and specifications), this will be my next camera

I didn't expect it quite so soon. (Yes, I know it's cr1)

 

[Jopa]

It would be so nice to see a 5ds/r II with all recently introduced goodies in 2017... Yes, I know - dream on

Nah.

36MP, single SD card, maybe plastic body.
You heard it here first 8).

 

[Famateur]

I know...CR1.

Still...

If it is essentially an 70D/80D with a full-frame sensor, I will most certainly buy it.

Please, please, please, please, please, please...

Need to keep costs lower, so it will be a cardboard body, similar to what google cardboard is made of.

I really look forward to replace my 6D with this camera if....
- dual pixe AF with centerpoint AF is sensitive to -4EV
- DR in lower iso improved to level of 5D MKIV
- less noise higher iso (6400) and less color banding
- af system up to minimum of 19 preferable 45 points with wider spread


very welcome double slots, 25mp en articulating screen. I hope also touchscreen

I have 5D3 and 5Dsr. I like them both. I wish for one of these cameras to excel at low light high ISO photography. I don't need more pixels. I need better low light performance. Maybe a new 6D would do that. I love the idea of an articulating back. I had to buy a new Pentax K1 in order to get that in a full frame.

That is what this sort of needs to be for me. Would love the full articulating screen that flips to the side like 70D and better 4K implementation, but that might be asking too much from Canon...

 

[Alejandro]

What i'm hoping for:

22-24 mpx.
5.5 fps
wifi/gps
1080p@60fps
no 4k.
Dual SD.
No improvement over DR
Hoping for a 6D like noise levels.
-4 EV
Improved AF (a little bit better than the 5D3).

 

[rpiotr01]

As long as they continue to have replaceable focus screens this will likely be my next camera

 

[Wideopen]

This!!! If they can provide all these around $2000, it will be an instant pre-order for me.

[Chaitanya]

Need better AF module and Dual SD Slot. Also 4k video with h.365 codec none of that craptastic bloaty Mjpeg.

 

[LesC]

As with most new releases, price will be the deciding factor for many. But if it has an articulated screen, hopefully touch enabled, keeps it's GPS and has some other minor tweaks I'll be interested in P/Ex-ing my 6D.

Dual card slots & 4K sound nice but I'm a bit skeptical about them; wouldn't want the price to be too high either...

....I aslo welcome the relocation of the remote shutter port to the front of the camera. While using the 6D in portrait for panorama of longexposure shots, this is a headache with the cable and the cover of the current remote shutter port.

dual SD card slots

It should have been my next camera, but 30 minutes ago I bought a second hand 6D+Battery Grip @ 900 Eur...
So I think I won't be an early adopter of the 6D2: I'll wait patiently for the initial price (1800 Eur? 2000 Eur?) to fall.

Nevertheless you will enjoy your 6D. It produces some very good quality images (from technical point of view)
Congrats and enjoy!

Assuming it's true it's a nice upgrade..

For me video is not key, but I'd regard 1080p/60fps at full frame as more important than crop 4k. I'd guess most 6D owners are going to baulk at having to fork out for extra lenses for wide angle 4k video.

Re the flippy screen, so long as it's as robust as the Pentax K1 I'd be happy with it.

Resolution: I'd be happy with Canon sticking to 20Mpix if it means keeping or enhancing the low light ability. Ability to shoot in low light is far more important to me than printing posters.

I would expect the DR improvements of the 80D/1D/5D. Nice to have but not a deal maker from my standpoint.

For me the killer spec will be the price.

 

[ashmadux]

This...this could be AWESOME...the potential to be canons mid enthusiast body for landscapers and a DECENT AF SYSTEM, + dpaf & modern dynamic range.

My 6d is ready to be soooooooooollllllld.

Cmon Canon, make it happppennnn

THIS, THIS, and more THIS!
