- Max shutter speed
- Flash sync speed
- Buffer size
- If you can do some 5D4 things that aren't top-line specs: DPRAW, AF selection on the touchsreen with your thumb while you are shooting through the OVF, etc.
Did I miss anything?

The lack of joystick, AF toggle and DOF button still put it at a significant disadvantage to the 5D3/5D4 for action and sport shooting, but it may be a good option for travel (smaller and much lighter than 5D) if FF quality is desired/required.

ahsanford said:So, the final verdict on 6D2 nerfing / 'feature based omissions for production positioning and margins reasons' appears to be:
4K: left out
FPS: almost the same as 5D4 (quite a nice surprise)
Two slots: left out
AF: Big bump, but not all the way to 5D4/1DX2 levels (as expected)
Resolution: Bumped, but not all the way to 5D4/1DX2 levels (as expected)
AF joystick: left out
5D-level thumb back thumb wheel: left out
Mfn button: added (nice surprise)
Headphone jack: left out
Large dedicated DoF preview / programmamble button: left out
DPAF: included (and in fairness, expected)
Buffer: Don't know
Max shutter:Don't know(edit) 1/4000 from the photos, but no spec-list level confirmation yet
Flash sync: Don't know
Shutter durability rating: Don't know
We can argue all day about whether something was left out for space reasons, left out for margins/cost reasons, or left out in a deliberating nerfing, but other than 4K and two slots -- don't get me wrong, a big deal for some -- the 6D2 is shaping up quite competitively to the 5D4 for the price.

AF toggle is there. DOF looks like it's on the side of the mount, grip side.
rrcphoto said:what's with you and calling it nerfed. did you expect the same features and specs as the 5D Mark IV or even the 5D Mark III that both sold for nearly 75% more at their release?

Nerfing happens, but surely I am not arguing everything in red above can claim that as the culprit. In many cases, the red stuff above is simply what it takes to offer a $1999 rig at the margins they want (or to cram all that tech into such a small package)
But no headphone jack, single slot, etc
