I've never owned Canon full frame digital. My Canon digital SLR progression went 20D > 50D > 60D and now 80D. When prices between full frame and APS-C were separated by several thousand dollars it was a no-brainer...my budget only allowed for the APS-C. Now Canon is putting full frame sensors in camera bodies with the price difference shaved to near or below $1000. And they're finally putting the multi-articulating LCD viewfinder on those full frame bodies (that multi-articulating screen is versatility gold). So once the affair with this 80D is over my next SLR body will definitely be full frame :)

Wow did I misread the specs. Yes you are correct. This is what I read and misinterpreted: "For multimedia creation, the 6D Mark II comes equipped with powerful Full HD video recording options. The 6D Mark II offers improved speed with a maximum frame rate of 60p when capturing Full HD video. It also offers Digital IS with 5-axis image stabilization to minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting." I feel a little better now as to the IS aspect anyway. Thanks everyone.

I just recently upgraded from a Canon 60D to the 80D, and along the way, decided to sell my 35-350mm f3.5-5.6 L for the 28-300mm iteration, partly for the fact the latter lens offers a bit wider short end for my 1.6x sensor, but mainly because it offers image stabilization. Now (after the fact of course) I notice Canon has the 6D MkII on the street, and now it seems Canon is "getting with the program" and offering in-camera image stabilization. Price-wise the two are still a bit distant (~$1000 approximately) but between the horse trading I did to get the 80D and the 28-300, I think had I to do it again I would have opted to keep the 35-350 and just buy the 6D MkII. Well I don't want to back track now...I do like the 80D but the appeal of a full-frame sensor AND in-camera IS in a body that is very close to being in financial reach is almost unbearable. Add to this the 6D offers the same multi-articulating LCD viewfinder I originally bought the 60D for. So for you Canon aficionados...what are your thoughts here? Canon seems to be merging all the desirable features of their mid-range line with professional level, full frame bodies, and the in-camera IS would seem to make the future of lens based IS completely moot. But I suppose until they can squeeze IS into the xxD and Rebel series such lenses might still proliferate...

Yes I still love my Canon 35-350mm L. I wish it had IS but I'll settle for what it is.
