All this innovation is leaving me dizzy. First two new video creator kits and now possibly a new nameplate somewhere next year. While other companies waste time improving sensors, Canon are leaving them far behind.

Do you believe that 'better sensors' help sell more consumer cameras or are required for professional photographers to capture award winning images? If either were true, no doubt Canon would focus their efforts in that area.

Re: EOS 6D Mark II & New DSLR Body in 2017

6D II is the camera I've been waiting for. What I really want is:

1. Increased MP. 24+ would be nice

2. f/8 AF like the 80D

3. Improved High ISO and Low ISO

4. Improved AF module, something similar to the 80d would be nice. Something like the 5D III would be awesome but that's a stretch.

If it can hit those 4 points then i'm all in.

Another option is for me to keep my 6D and get a 5DS/R.

I am thinking in the same way, just a pity Canon seems to have crippled autofocus in 5DS/R

I seriously doubt they 'crippled' it. There was probably a conscious design reason to do this. ex. achieve greater focus accuracy.

#1 and #3 are in the bag, IMHO, but as far as IQ goes it all depends on your expectations. If you want two more stops of high ISO at the same noise levels or 2 more EVs of DR at base ISO, you probably will be disappointed.

#2 and #4 I'm less sure. AF will certainly improve, but how much it will improve remains to be seen. AF, FPS, build quality, max shutter speed, video modes, etc. are the key metrics that Canon nerfs with the cheaper body to get you to buy the better 5D model that sits above it.

Where the hell have all these 1Ds people been?!

I've been sticking up for a high MP 1D-body rig in a bunch of threads and there are always crickets when I bring it up.

Thanks for joining the discussion on this. I don't personally want such a rig, but I fully get why someone looks at the choice of high resolution OR a 1D body feature set and says "How much more do I have to pay to make that OR turn into an AND?"

This makes perfect sense, who in their right mind thought a 6D2 would come before the 5D4?

Because some people (erroneously) think the 5DS itself was a sequel to the 5D3, and therefore another 5D model should not come out that soon:

In my opinion improved AF module is only part of the story. 6D has 11 AF points but when you really decide to use them, quickly switching among them is terrible and error prone. Most of the time I'm still faster to use center point and recompose. If 6D Mk II has 20-40 AF points with good spread and most of them cross type, it will be great improvement but I'm afraid it will still keep the same way of AF point selection - no joystick from 7D/5D.

Re: EOS 6D Mark II & New DSLR Body in 2017

New nameplate to "DSLR" range ?

Does that mean;
A - A new DSLR, or
B - A new EOS big camera that's not a DSLR

Could mean anything
- An emerging market full frame 9D using old tech, say a cut down 5DII/6D
- A video focused EOS xD model - a cut price 1D C in a 5D/6D body size
- Mirrorless EF models EOS Q range that simply uses EF lenses but without a mirror - APS-C and FUll Frame
- Mirrorless EF-Q models that can us EF lenses with an EOS-M type adaption - FUll Frame only
- Higher end solution - Medium format ?
- Relaunch of the small body format, EOS-S with a SL/100D sized duo of entry and mid range cameras

My bet would be a EOS-Q using EF fitting - one based on the 7DII the other the 5D3/4
