miksang_g Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>Debating on whether or not I should wait on the new 6d to come out. Will the price be relatively the same as what the 6d is now? I realize there's still a lot of speculation here as it's not even really announced yet. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosvanEekelen Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>I'd wait for the 6D-III if I were you :-) It will be soo much better than the mk II.<br> Seriously, the 5D mk III is older, expect that one to be replaced first, don't hold your breath for the successor of the 6D. The lifespan of the full frame bodies is quite long so don't wait for future models. BTW, what is the quality/specifictions you're waiting for?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miksang_g Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>I meant 6d mk II :(<br /><br />Honestly i'm waiting for a better (faster) connection usb 3 specifically. That and better video resolution, my phone even takes 4k video now.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>If you need or want a camera now, get what you can now.</p> <p>Waiting for an unannounced upgrade is almost never a wise move.</p> <p>Once an upgrade <strong><em>is</em></strong> announced, it's time to buy a new one of the previous mark that is being replaced when it is put on sale. That way you will miss all the excitement of new firmware upgrades to fix new problems, etc., etc. ;)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miksang_g Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>That's true I guess. I just wouldn't want to miss out on better features for the same amount of money when it might only be five or six months away.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Crowe Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>Canon moves at a snails pace...five years for the 7D II! That was after at least three years of rumours. Find the best camera that fits your needs, or if that is still not enough of an upgrade, then continue to wait.</p> <p>I am curious. I never plug my camera in. Why do you need USB 3?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miksang_g Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 <p>then the bottleneck is the card?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuppyDigs Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>Fast SDXC card in a USB3 card reader is the way to go. By wire or Wi-Fi is much slower.</p> <p>The 6D is still in its prime. I wouldn't expect a redesign in the near future. Maybe in 2 years? The Rebels, 5D3 and 1DX will probably get updates first.</p> Sometimes the light’s all shining on me. Other times I can barely see. - Robert Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Ian Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <p>The bottleneck is the camera. Even w/ USB2 cameras, the direct transfer rate is a <em>fraction</em> of what both the bus, and the card supports. Even if the cameras were equipped w/ USB3, I would still expect them to be far slower at data xfer than by simply plugging a fast card into a fast 3.0 reader.</p> <p>I also wouldn't necessarily expect the 6D'2' to support 4K video - the 7D2 does not, nor do even the most premium EOS units (except the 1-C of course) - Canon is very much about product differentiation, so I wouldn't necessarily expect the 6D'2' to be the first that supports 4K capture. Although it may depend on the proliferation of 4K video capture devices, and timing. Then again, the 6D is designed primarily as a<em> still</em> camera.</p> <p>And don't be surprised if the price jumps considerably. Frankly, Canon's prices often have more to do with product differentiation and 'placement' than actual features...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDMvW Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 <blockquote> <p>Card readers are fast.</p> </blockquote> <p>You bet! Far better than hooking up a camera directly, provided they are USB3 or some other fast interface. USB1 card readers are not so fast.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 <p>Yes indeed, the 6D is a young camera, released in 2012 with 2007 sensor technology and a 2003 AF system. Canon should be able to milk a few more years out of it. <br> In contrast to other manufacturers that are going for cutting edge features and retro 1960s/70s styling, Canon is aiming for a retro 1960s/70s feature set in the 6D mark II, with cutting edge pricing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miksang_g Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 <p>I couldn't agree with you more Geoff Francis. After looking into the Canon lineup more extensively I can't believe how dissapointing their features are in comparison to its competitors. If I didn't already have a bunch of glass I would definitely be going with a Nikon right now. <br /> I looked at sample videos from the 6d as well and I was blown away by how bad the moire was. You would think by putting down about $2000 on a camera the features and quality would at least be up to par. Doesn't seem like canon is really even putting out an effort.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
