Canon EOS 6D Mark II
Body Only // EF-S 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM // EF 24-105mm f/4L IS II

It should be EF instead of EF-S.

Fixed, thanks.

I like how 'soon' could mean more than a month away. ;D

Noki is just quoting you guys .. if you notice they say . rumor from overseas..

 

[Luds34]

So nothing new really. I look forward to pricing, specs, etc.

Do you guys think the 6D II will have better video capabilities then the 5D IV? Asside from angle tilt screen

I doubt it will come with the crop mode with MJPEG codec like the 5D IV (It won't come with anything better codec-wise, it's a Canon after all).

So I guess it will be low bitrate H.264 only.

This rumor feels like the "rumor equivalent" of a slow stretch, just ahead of the race.

Hey, it's all relative..... One of the buildings I work in is a "temporary" hut put up during WW2......

 

[Hellish]

If I had to guess at absolute BEST the 6D Mark II gets Full frame 4k at 100-150 Mbps 4:2:0 8-Bit, which is good enough for me

Hoping for these specs

24mp
13+ stops DR
2 SD Card Slots (Even UHS-I, I dont care the Sandisk V30 Extreme Pro UHS-I will be good enough)
4K
Flip Screen
DPAF


Honestly I think my hopes are fairly realistic.

Hoping for these specs

24mp
13+ stops DR (at base ISO)
2 SD Card Slots (Even UHS-I, I dont care the Sandisk V30 Extreme Pro UHS-I will be good enough)
4K
Flip Screen
DPAF


Honestly I think my hopes are fairly realistic.

Blue above = fair / reasonable to expect

But 2 slots, 4K, 1/8000 shutter, 1/200 sync are the 'on the fence' features I don't think anyone knows with certainty.

And the AF setup is a huge wildcard. Many (myself included) believed the upgrade from the 5D2 to 5D3 was entirely justified for the AF system improvement alone. Some are expecting perhaps not a 1DX-level AF bump like the 5D3 got 5 years ago, but surely a nontrivial upgrade in AF is in order for the 6D2. We'll see how that pans out.

I'm expecting 30-40 AF points..... certainly not a 5D4 density, but it is hard to improve on the current AF sensor without going at least that big..... plus I expect the to be F8 as Canon seems to be heading that way.... The F5.6 lens limit seems to be poised to fall....

24MP.... YUP!
better DR.... YUP!
I am hoping for lower pixel density on a new sensor as that will give an improvement on low light ability over the 5D4.....

I also expect 1 card slot and am hoping for an UHS-2 SD slot. I would not complain about a second slot, but I really do not expect to see one...

 

[siegsAR]

Its going to be a 70D - specswise, but fullframe. And same launch price as the 6D. Wanna bet?

Ohh dr, 0.5 stop at best over the Mk1.

The F5.6 lens limit seems to be poised to fall.

When I purchased my 400mm f/5.6 L a couple of years ago my 6D would not AF at f/8, (with my Kenko 1.4X teleconverter). After my gear was stolen, I did not replace my teleconverters. I just purchased a new Kenko 1.4x teleconverter and I'll be a monkey's uncle...The camera now auto focuses at f/8. Must have been one of the firmware updates. I am very happy.

There's no common sense reason they'd put out 'last gen' sensor tech in the 6D2 -- it will get the on-chip ADC goodness all the sensors of late have gotten.

The 6D2 should sail past a 0.5 stop bump over the 12.1 stop. Consider: every non-Rebel sensor to come out since the on-chip ADC switch -- the 80D, 1DX2 and 5D4 -- posted over 13.0 EVs at base ISO (so sayeth DXO -- yeah yeah, I know). No reason to expect the 6D2 will not follow suit there.

Sensors tend to be slowly and continuously improving....it is a fairly safe bet that the performance of this one will be slightly better than those which came before, but consider this...... the 6D was the "landscape" camera, and it is likely that the 6D2 will follow.... at some point, Canon will have to switch to 16bit RAW as the DR slowly increases.... I don't think that this will be the camera that it happens with, but on the other hand, I would not be shocked if it did..... Now the 1DX3..... for that one I would expect to see 16 bit......

Couldn't care less - it's a camera.

Thanks for playing, though.

 

[applecider]

K- Why do you require two slots?

I am truly curious. I've had one or two wonky cards over the years,but wonky in a way that gave warning of failure.

I would think that if wifi was available backup to a phone or tablet would be possible on the fly. Size and weight and cost will be more for a two slot camera.

Looks like I jumped threads but question still applies.

how come you wont get the 5D IV instead?
