<p>As far as a new mirrorless camera goes, we’re not sure what’s going on there. We’ve heard from two sources that one is coming and it has been reported elsewhere on the web as well. I would suspect it’s coming some time in July along with a PowerShot or two.</p>
<p><em>More to come on that front.</em></p>

Got my finger on the trigger for pre-order! Just hope these cameras arrive sooner then the expected August time frame.

If Canon doesn't make the PC-E2 available immediately upon announcement, I may have to just go with the PC-E1 and forego the many improvements the MkII version will surely bring.

It's walking the line for me too. I have a huge vacation coming up that I need a FF for. I'll be doing ultra-low-light photography, and need time to get comfortable with the camera. Will only have 2 months at best.

Does it seem strange that the 6D Mk II would be less that the Mk I at release? The original 6D was $2099, and the Mk II is supposed to be cheaper at $1999?

I looked around and found that the original 5D mk III pricing was $3499, and the 5D mk IV was also $3499.

Not complaining if it's $1999, just curious what others think.

the Yen was at a all time high the for the first 6D.

I need this now! Going to Malaysia mid Aug!!!!! Still hoping for a miracle! Hoping Canon has something up it's sleeve to surprise us with something not leaked. Hoping for something we can get one up on the Nikon, Sony fanboys!

 

[CanonCams]

Can't wait to pre order tomorrow! (Shipping time dependent)

So how long after Canon announces a new body do preorders typically begin? Or does it vary by the vendor?

Often the day of the announcement, but it does vary by vendor. The other thing that varies is when vendors get stock to fill the preorders, for example, Amazon is usually a but behind B&H and Adorama (but not always).

So it looks like I need to transfer the money I have in my savings account to checking today.

Yeah...I just moved $30 to cover the cost of the exciting new PC-E2. ;D

Neuro needed an first party Canon kleenex to collect his tears from the lack of 4K on the 6D2.

So no announcement of the 85 IS this week?

It really fell off the radar of late, didn't it?

Canon probably wants to keep all eyes on the 6D2 for the time being.

I'd be excited if Canon were to launch a *mirrorless* FF camera with 6D II specs at € 1999 ...

for another minor iteration of some mirrorslapper ... not so much. ;D

Unsolicited advice for those considering pre-orders.

Take some time to explore financing options, even if you have the cash on hand.

You will be paying an early-adopters premium, so you might as well explore using other people's money to ease the cash flow and save a few bucks. Most of the large retailers have some type of interest-free for six to 12 months plan. (Usually through Pay Pal, but some are in-house). As long as you have the discipline to pay it off before the promotional period is over, you will have the use of your money longer, won't need to deplete savings and it won't cost you anything more. (Be sure to read and understand the terms, of course).

I bought a 1DX II last year. Had it paid off in eight months with no interest paid and was able to avoid tapping into about half of the money I had put aside for the purchase (by paying out of cash flow).

I know others on this forum are absolutely dead set against financing purchases. It's a personal decision. But, if you are adult enough to order a $2,000 camera, you should be adult enough to drink borrow responsibly.
