    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 firmware already installed.

    The new Canon RF 135mm f/1.8L IS USM will launch at an expected $2099 USD.

    Along with the new camera and lens, we're also going to get a new flash, the Speedlite EL-5, which will be $399 at launch.

    6. Is it from old 6D2 or Rp?
      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?
    7. $2500 is a pretty good deal but there's no way it'll be a stacked sensor now.
      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.
    8. 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
    15. 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.

    16. 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.

      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
