hjoseph7 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 There are serious rumors out there about the Canon 6D Mark II... Confirmed: Canon EOS 6D Mark II & Rebel SL2 Coming Soon! Hope they are true, then I can get a 6D Mark 1 for cheap ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Ian Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 These rumors always fascinate me... not the rumors themselves mind you, but the reaction and speculation based on them! We frequently see the advice "There's a new version coming soon, you should probably wait to make a purchase until it's been announced/been released/been built" - even when the product won't hit the street for months or even years (how long, for example, having we been seeing 6D2 rumors?)... smh. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll be a great camera, but I wouldn't expect 6Ds to start selling for pennies the minute the mk2 hits the street... new units will get clearanced out at a couple hundred (at most) off after the supply of the new units has stabilized, but it'll likely take months and months before there is a significant impact on the used market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I agree with Marcus after watching other brands & the market in general. If the 1100Euro currently asked are an obstacle 200 Euro clearance rebate still don't buy lots of great glass. Also: It is nice to have a backup body; so folks might not trade in their old stuff. Especially not when a newer version got released to make their losses bigger. Was the 6D ever aimed at a market lusting for latest & greatest?

Robin Smith Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Yes, the 6D is due in July - it'll be a good 'un if its anything like the original, which is still a really nice camera. Robin Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Keefer Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 There is always going to be new model coming every few years. It is what they do. Something is improved, could be ISO Resolution Focusing system Menu Button Touchscreen USB 3 You never really know till it is released. The 6D is a good camera. The next version will improve on it. Just have to wait and see how. Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 According to " Canon EOS 6D Mark II Announcement Coming in July [CR2] " the 6D II is rumored to have a tilt-screen LCD. If so, it it may tilt my choice of upgrade from my 5D II in favor of the the 6D II, rather than the more expensive 5D IV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesFarabaugh Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Tilt screen would be a respectable upgrade, but the AF system is really where the 6D could use a bump. I would expect a modest increase in resolution maybe to 22-25 MP. I'll keep my 6D and continue to dream of owning a new piece of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruslan Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 What about weather sealing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen_S Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 The usual? If they 'll claim to have done some, you 'll still have to trust it at your own expense. Goretex & wax cotton clothes are sold for weather protection & I got soaked in both. A camera is either amphibian or money wagered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnkenthill Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 It looks like it's going to be a nice upgrade with many improved features. Personally I'm disappointed it doesn't do 4K video. I like to shoot video as well and to me a new release should have that capability. Outside of that I think it will be a nice improvement. I've been very pleased with my 6D.

ruslan Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I am a photographer, I don't need articulated screen. I do need 1/8000 sec. I prefer built-in screens, I consider them more robust. The specs look promising, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruslan Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 There is info circulating online, that its body is glass-fiber/plastic mounted on a magnesium chassis. 2000 USD for a plastic body? why not to look at 5D3, they go at discount. A good camera with an old sensor. Very robust they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Katz Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Good summary of specs for the 6DII vs 5DIII vs 5Div: ttps://www.canonrumors.co/canon-6d-mark-ii-vs-5d-mark-iv-vs-5d-mark-iii-specs-comparison/ For the money I can certainly see a 5DIII being a viable alternative. For the some (me) the weight difference would make a 5DIII a non-starter as would the older sensor (no DR upgrade). For tripod users, the articulated screen and duel pixel live view AF could be the need to have feature. My issue with Canon in the last few years is that they seem to set their product line as if they are only in competition with themselves. Lack of 4K video, and borrowing AF module from an 80D (too closely packed AF points on a FF body) does little to entice non EOS users to buy. I may consider a 6DII to replace my ancient 5D I at some point but I would also check out the Sony A system as well, depending on how well my existing "L" lenses operates on it.
