well, let me tell you those are excellent news and let me explain why:
the buzz:
"... The 6D2 only achieves about 11.9 EV of dynamic range, once scaled to the standard DXO metrics..."
the fact:
Canon 5D IV Photographic Dynamic Range at ISO 100: 10.83 EV
Canon 6D Photographic Dynamic Range at ISO 100: 9.3 EV
Canon 80D Photographic Dynamic Range at ISO 100: 10.06 EV
proof is in the pudding, right here:

I like 11.9 number better than 10.83.
Seriously. there is no reliable data to draw a conclusion. Relax and wait for DXO people to crunch their numbers first. There is nothing to be concerned about at this stage. enjoy your weekend.
I'm confused. I want for you to be right, but aren't those two different measurement scales? The link you posted, the DR numbers do not match what dxo reports. And the number in the FM forums was supposedly scaled to dxo. Because according to dxo, the 5D4 clocks in at 13.59, not 10.83, and the 6D at 12.11, not 9.3.
So again, I am confused, if they are scaling it to how dxo does their measurements that would mean its actually worse than the original 6D (though im sure within that margin of error where you would never notice it anyways), not significantly better than the 5D4 that you are claiming here by using a different scale.
So, I don't know what to believe right now, but I have a preorder on the line that I am trying to determine what to do with and its looking more and more like I should cancel it and just wait for actual real reviews before I make this decision about whether the camera is worth the full asking price to me.
