[Rumor] New Tidbits About Canon’s Entry-Level Full Frame Camera (EOS 6D?)

The rumor is reported by NL. As you probably know, we expect Canon to announce an entry-level full frame DSLR (have a look here too) for Photokina in September 2012. The reported specs basically cover what I already reported before. The information I got in the past were naming an EOS 7D Mark II as the upcoming entry-level full frame camera, while NL is referring to a 6D. Whatever the name will be, I think it can be taken for granted that Canon is indeed working on such a camera (and maybe already testing prototypes), especially if you consider that Nikon is doing the same (there is a leaked image of the cam). ’nuff said, let’s have a look on the leaked specs (I hope this camera comes with a more advanced AF system):
- Two different sensor specs received [...] for a ‘cheaper’ FF DSLR.
- One suggests an 18MP sensor and the other 22MP
- Looks like straightforward remodelling of either the 1DX or 5D3 sensors
- Other features:
- Design closer to 7D than 5D3 (smaller and with flash)
- 7D style AF system (19 pt) and VF LCD
- 7D metering
- Single Digic 5+
- 3.9 fps
- 3 inch LCD
- 51200 max ISO
- sub – $2000 price point at introduction

I would upgrade from my 5DMKII.

the time for APS-C as 1000+ $ bodys should be long gone.
APS-C for everything below 1000$ and above that FF.
it´s about time!!

How stupid is these words?!… Obviously if you use your camera like a toy you can break it! A swivel screen is fantastic because with it we can create more artistic photos!!
