First Images & More Specifications for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II Leak

[Don Haines]

Also gotta love the seemingly beefier right hand grip particularly around the trigger. It really looks even more like they took a 5D body and built another 5D3 with an improved sensor and articulating touch screen LCD ...and then slashed the price to under $2000. There should be ZERO complaints with this. It's really something special

this is the Internet. there will be alot of complaints.

It does not shoot 4K.....
It does not have two card slots....
It does not have a headphone jack....

Nobody cares that it has improvements in sensor performance, frame rate, or the AF system. Nobody cares about that stuff when they look for a camera....

You would have to be an idiot to buy this camera.....

When can I place my pre-order?

Re: 6D2 photos posted, new specs as well

I was looking at the 6D2 image and I can see two plastic seams on the top..... could this indicate the presence of a pop-up flash?

Highly doubtful. I think this is just how Canon is currently molding the bodies on the line now.

IMHO, Canon reshapes the bodies so they can sell new battery grips. It would be a huge hit to profits if older grips fit the new cameras. They seldom make that mistake.

On the other hand, they sure have been using the LP6 battery for a long time......

Nope.

the top plate LCD doesn't have room for the dual slot indicators.

Someone said the 6DII is a nerfed camera?

Does that mean you can throw it and it won't hurt anyone or damage the camera?

Next to the Bluetooth indikator?

Will the AF have selectable Zones?

 

[magarity]

look at that usb port!

Holy smokes, still mini-usb? I thought my 6D was odd to have that instead of micro usb. I know better than to expect usb-c but now mini is downright ancient.

Will the AF have selectable Zones?

Yes. The button to select between modes (single, zone or all) is there.

Does the articulating screen compromise weathersealing at all compared to the current 6D?

color=green]Mfn button: added (nice surprise)[/color]

Not labeled as M-Fn, so possibly not programmable ? Given the symbol, it may be a single function AF area selection button, so likely good enough for most even if not programmable?

And that appears to be exactly what that is. Same on the 70D I had and one wouldn't want to change that anyway. Very welcome on a more advanced AF system that it appears we're getting.

no flash button.

Not that I can see either, but the top really looks like it is designed as a pop-up, particularly when the 6D did not have those seams.....

The front appears rounded, one can even make out the Canon logo. Pop up flash is pointed front. Obviously "who knows" but I'd argue it appears NO on the pop up flash.

Assuming all the rumored specs are true, then there is really nothing more to know. Sure some folks are asking about flash sync, mas shutter. However, I don't really expect those to change, and as I've referenced before, those don't come into play 99.7% of the time. Only good for specsmanship arguments on the interwebs.

I think this looks like a solid camera and those that know/remember I sold my 6D a few weeks ago in anticipation of this release. Unless something drastically changes I'm in the "pre-order" camp at this point.

 

[PBguy]

I'm very glad to hear that it will have GPS. That is a feature I use regularly. I'm already on a pre-order list and looking forward to getting my hands on it.

What is the mystery connection socket on the front?
Guesses?

how coe u wont consider the 5D IV?

how coe u wont consider the 5D IV?

I'm just guessing but at an estimated msrp for the 6Dii of $1999 means there are about 1300 reasons to get one instead of the 5Div.

Right after I place my order. ;D
