Never. The "professionals" will still go for the most expensive stuff.
That said, I hope those rumors are true as well. That's the cam I want.

Sounds good...
I still have my 5D III...I am just going to wait for the 5DIV's gray market, busted up kits, or whatever until the price is on eBay or wherever at $2000. There should be some of those opportunities in the coming year. I am very happy with my 5DIII so I am in no hurry..... 8)

While I no longer qualify(!) for this poll as I did end up picking up a 4, it's still a question I may consider as I still use my 5D3. I haven't given it up partially because I actually love having a camera I can go to and worry less about something happening to it (given that it's older equipment). Plus IMO there's not enough of an IQ difference between the two cameras to render the 3 obsolete...
So what does this have to do with the 6D2 - well, it has run though my head that if enough of the improvements made from 5D3-5D4 "trickle down" to the 6D2 in a smaller form factor, and the price is right, I'm not going to rule out doing a 5D3-6D2 move. My only feature wish that I have not yet seen mentioned in the rumors would be for a pop up flash, which could save even more space. Also depends on what AF system they decide to put in - I really like the 5D3/5D4 61-point system and would be hesitant to downgrade on a critical feature like that.

All new sensor
We’re told it’s likely going to be 28mp, though the source doesn’t know if that’s total or effective megapixels.
Dual SD slots
Tilting LCD
Touchscreen
DIGIC 7
Aiming for a sub $2000 USD body only price
DPAF
There has apparently been a lot of internal discussion about the video features and it’s likely we’ll see the camera shoot 4K in some capacity.
Wifi, NFC & Wireless charging
Larger viewfinder
28MP fits with the differences between the 6D & 5D MKIII.
Dual SD slots is a good move
Tilting LCD thats touch screen would be a good move
Digic 7 good
DPAF
4K interesting to see how this compares to the 5D MKIV
I would add it needs 45 AF points and 7560 RGB-IR metering system like the 80D which in many ways its the full-frame version of. That would go some way to justify a $ 2K body price / Euro 2.1K / £ 2K body price which is double in the UK the 80D price.

First, if you can write > 1000 posts here, you can learn to quote. ;D
Second, I am fully aware that all sorts of people upgrade to Canon's FF rigs, but I specifically wanted to pick the brain of people in my situation: 5D3 owners that didn't snap up a 5D4. Are they sitting this entire cycle out, are they waiting up until the 6D2 specs formally drop to make a 6D2 vs 5D4 decision, etc.?
It's a selfish question, I admit, but I find it an interesting one to poll the forum with.

No smaller body? Still, these specs sound very very good to me. Too bad, that it is not a FF mirrorless. I now have the M5 since a few days and I'm really happy (have sold my old 6D for that).
Bottom line is; I will skip the 6DII and use my M5, till Canon will offer a FF mirrorless body. I don't want to buy into DSLRs ever again, after I had the M5 in my hands.

Not necessarily -- I just feel that a 5D product should be able to say (within reason) 'anything a 6D product can do, I can do as well and then some'. This can never categorically be true as these kinds of products can't be released in the same timeframe, but the principle is still sound here.
Why should a 6D get a 1DX-level feature (interchangeable screens) and the entire 5D line is locked out from it? Help me understand that.

IF it is announced early enough and IF it's price is around or not much more than the 7d2 it is something i will seriously consider depending on two things. While i know it's AF system won't compete with a 7d2 it might still be worth it with an 80d style setup AF wise. And IF the dual sd slots rumour is true it could be very tempting.i would epect the same articulating screen as the enthusiast cameras as the 6d does not have the left hand side buttons to prevent this.don't care about 4k. Actually i would be happier without it as it would keep the price down. But either way. If it is not announced by april it won't matter for me and a 7d2 it will be.

Hi Aussie shooter,
I currently own both the 6D and the 7D II and I use each of them for totally different styles of photography. The 6D gives me incredible photos and are usually very sharp with little noise. Usually it is quite easy to clean up the noise unless the photo was taken when it was dark outside.
The 7D II is absolutely the most fun camera I have ever photographed with, but I have always been disappointed with the noise levels. When the light is good and I am using a lens of f/2.8 or better, the camera gives me pretty good photos, but with my 400mm f/5.6 lens attached, even in good light there is quite a bit of work to do to clean up the noise. Had I been able to afford one, I think I would have been happier with a 5D III.

Be interesting to see what the F8 focal point lens functionality will be. The trend to move beyond central focal point only is welcome.
And given the low light EV focusing of the original what will the ii do for low light?

It'll never be a sports camera so the number of AF points don't matter (as tracking is unnecessary) as much as their quality. The 6D only had single outer focus points so i ended up only using the center point for reliability. The spread layout wasn't the issue before if they were cross type points so i just hope theres some damn cross type points spread out! regardless if its a brick wall of points or just a few
Digic 7 would be interesting if it gives the cleanest high iso jpeg processing of all, above current digic 6. The 6D was cleaner than the 5D3, the 1DX was cleaner than both, but then the 1DX2 made no improvement in iso. Who knows its possible the 6D2 could equal the 1DX2 or surpass. The 5D3 was way below 1DX high iso quality yet the 5D4 is almost as good as 1DX2, so anything's possible as they're not keeping their same strong difference this generation. Sucks as i wanted my 1dx2 to be amazing
I'm looking forward to it as it may be the lightest and only ff dpaf canon for video as my 1dx2 is tiring one handed on a glidecam! so weight reduction is apprecaited

The main feature missing for me in the 6D is a clean HDMI output. Not even bothered about headphone out or anti-aliasing filter but the lack of a clean output makes it difficult to use external monitors. It would be nice to hook up to a waveform/focus peaking monitor (btw, I've had several issues with Magic Lantern so I don't use it). Also monitor recorders aren't useable with the 6D - I'm sure this was intentional to encourage DSLR filmmakers into purchase the 5D III though. I honestly don't get the point of an HDMI out if it's not clean - plugging directly into a TV isn't a deal breaker imo. Not holding my breath for this feature in the 6D II.
