USD pricing for the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM has leaked ahead of the imminent announcement

[Canon Rumors Guy]

In a pretty rare occurence, USD pricing for the Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM have leaked ahead of the official announcement.
The Canon EOS R6 Mark II will launch at the same price as the Canon EOS R6 at $2499 USD. There is also a version of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II for stop motion animation, that will cost an additional $100 with the...

Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM $2099
Thats lower than I expected. Original 135 f2 was kinda cheep but outstanding lens. Hope this will follow.

$2500 is a pretty good deal but there's no way it'll be a stacked sensor now.

Is it from old 6D2 or Rp?

Why? There have been stacked sensors in $500 cameras.

Not with FF sensor

 

[vignes]

this a 24Mpx FF sensor. Canon never had 24Mpx FF sensor prior this except for the R3 stacked sensor.
Must be new, but CR needs to clarify whether it's BSI and the DPAF is version II?

Not sure why y'all are expecting a stacked sensor in the first place. The R6 is Canon's two thousand something dollar full frame camera. It's main competition is the a7iv and the Z6ii (iii). They are not going to look too dissimilar from each other i.e. not stacked sensor.

Full frame stacked sensors is a premium feature. The only way a full frame stacked sensor will make it's way down the product lineup is when there's a new tech at the top becoming the new premium feature, making stacked sensors "old tech" and then moving downwards to the lower tier bodies.

All pretty interesting. Anyone know what ‘Hybrid Auto’ is? As someone who just moved from an R6 to an R5C a few weeks ago I’m interested in the specs but don’t have too much buyers remorse…

Z6ii has a bsi stacked sensor and is 1800$ or around there

 

[esglord]

Sold! Well probably. Want to see the mk I discount. Anyone have an idea how long they might keep selling the mk i alongside based in historical norm?

Are you sure it is stacked? I thought it was a Sony BSI but not stacked sensor.

 

[vangelismm]

Impossible, it is a super downgrade.
6d sensor are from the time when canon did not had on chip adc.

And then there is the OM-1 with a (smaller) stacked BSI sensor at $2200. I still think it'll use the R3 sensor. We'll know soon enough.

 

[dlee13]

135L price is quite fair, very close to the 135GM which is nice to see.

The pricing is good news for those waiting to get an R6. The option now is between getting a good discount (dare I hope for $500 or more?) or paying the original R6 price for a presumably 'better' R6 II.

 

[Stig Nygaard]

I still think it'll use the R3 sensor.

Nothing in the rumored specs ever looked like it was stacked sensor.
No 4K120, and 4k60 is with a crop?

Well if the R6mk2 has a 24mp sensor then Canon have 2 options:
Create a entirely new sensor with all the associated cost such as design, testing, fabrication, firmware development and setting up a new production line. A process that would cost millions and take many months if not years.
Or:
Just use the existing 24mp R3 sensor which has almost no upfront costs other than to expand the capacity of an existing production line. This also cuts development time massively. Then just limit features in firmware.

In pretty sure Canon would just go for option B

Do we know or are we able to infer filter thread size on the 135mm from any patents or anything? Really hoping for 77mm or 82mm.
