Pricing Details for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, Kits & Accessories (USD)
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
Because the previous 6D and 24-105 were both much cheaper to manufacture. They're also now targeting a slightly higher market than the old models; the 6D was made to mitigate the 5D2 on the second hand market, while the 6D2 is simultaneously trying to do the same for the 5D3 and also act as the top video body for the legions of people using 60/70/80Ds and below. (I.E. the higher-end vlogger crowd, who don't need 4K but do have enough money to burn that the 200D won't interest them.)bereninga said:
So it's a little bit of necessity—the first 6D only made around 5% profit from the final sale price—and a little bit of opportunity. It has to cost more and they have a wealthier market to milk.
edit: for clarity, I'm talking about the kits here. I suppose I should have mentioned that more than just in the first sentence. Obviously the body alone is still comparable to the original.

That's right at current MAP price.
Canon has pretty much refused to discount the 24-105 II in kits upon introduction of a new body. There was no discount with the 5DIV initially and it is still at $900 in the kit, so just a $200 discount.
I think Canon got fed up with all the kit-splitting that drove down the cost of the 24-105 I. They may not want to make that mistake again.

If they are fed up with the millions of cheap 24-105 v.1 lenses out there undercutting sales price of the new 24-105 v.2, they should have taken pains to make v.2 clearly better than v.1, not simply more expensive.

Nontrivial unknowns include...
- Number of f/8 AF points for the
teleconverter-usingbirding crowd - How vloggable this rig is -- has a lot to do with how well the tilty-flippy face forward
- Secret new feature that has somehow eluded all spec list leaks (file under unlikely)
- If it gets the 5DS shutter delay feature (unlikely as the 5D4 didn't get it)
- If it will get DPRAW functionality
- Some information on weather sealing (that will be fluffy and non-committal, I'm sure)
- Buffer size
- Formal confirmation that the focusing screens are not interchangeable (all evidence points to this being so, but a review of the manual will make it official)
Did I miss anything?

I never got a grip for my 6D, but I did get one for my 7D mark II after discovering that it's hard to hold a 100-400L2 in portrait position for a long time. The list price for the Canon-made version is well over $200, but I paid less than $70 for a almost pristine used copy, with a free battery thrown in (again, genuine).
I think you'll find similar bargains if you are able to wait a few months. Most people don't actually need battery grips, especially on a body like 6D mark II that is neither battery-starved, designed specifically for action, nor too small to have a decent grip on the main body (I'm looking at you, EOS M series).

wow, the 24-105 L cost over 1K.
I bought brand new Tamron 24-70 2.8 equivalent 700 USD with freaking 6 years warranty

Interesting. I could pre-order (and even received my receipt). But you're right there are no product details yet—only the listings.

I'm really happy that the rumored specs were correct and that it's shipping late next month. I'm #1 on the pre-order list at my local dealer so I just got very excited. Really looking forward to getting my hands on it and having some time to shoot with it before the solar eclipse on Aug 21st.
Now my only concern is how long it will take for Adobe to release an update for Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC.
