Another mention of Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Rebel SL2 announcement coming soon

canon rumors

According to Nokishita Canon will announce the EOS 6D Mark II and the Rebel SL2 soon.

The EOS 6D Mark II will come in two kit variants, one with the EF 24-105mm USM and the other with the EF 24-105mm STM lens. The Canon BG-E 21 is the compatible battery grip.

The Canon Rebel SL2 will come as kit with the EF-S 18-55mm and in two color variants, black and white.

We have been told that The Canon EOS 6D Mark II, the Rebel SL2 and new mirrorless camera will be announced on July 20 or 21 2017.

Stay tuned!

The next Canon Mirrorless camera is the EOS M20, to be announced July 20/21?

I have been told (thanks) that the replacement for the Canon EOS M10 will be the Canon EOS M20.

An upcoming, new Canon mirrorless camera has already to some degree leaked. We know about unreleased Canon gear that has been registered at certification authority. Among these is the Canon EOS 6D Mark II (so we think), the Rebel SL2, and a new, supposedly entry-level MILC that we think may be the replacement for the EOS M10. We were told it will the Canon EOS M20.

It’s rather plausible that Canon will go on with their entry-level mirrorless line-up (though someone may object that all Canon MILCs are entry-level). Beside the suggestion about the moniker, we can be sure that there will be a replacement for the EOS M10.

July 20 or 21 has been suggested to us as the day when Canon will announce the EOS 6D Mark II, the Rebel SL2, and the EOS M20.

However, take it with a grain of salt, especially the moniker M20. This rumor comes from a new source.

Stay tuned.

I have been told (thanks) that Canon may announce the Canon EOS 6D Mark II on July 20 or 21 (depending by the geographic zone).

We still know as good as nothing about the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. Still we have good reasons that an announcement is not too far away. Some leaked information about yet unreleased Canon gear that was registered at a certification authority gives reasons to believe the EOS 6D Mark II may be announced soon.

As I said, we know very little that’s reliable about the EOS 6D Mark II, which is unusual for gear supposed to be announced within a bit more than a month. Based on hints we got over the last two years and on common sense, the EOS 6D Mark II may have these features:

  • A newly developed sensor, 28MP is the most likely resolution
  • Dual Pixel AF will be on board. Canon is featuring DPAF on entry-level DSLRs, we can expect it for sure on the EOS 6D Mark II
  • Price around $2,000
  • Unlikely to have 4K video
  • Upgraded AF system
  • Touchscreen
  • Tiltable display
  • Digic 7 (likely)
  • WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Larger viewfinder than EOS 6D
  • Slightly larger than EOS 6D

Stay tuned!

Canon EOS C200 product description:

Offering exceptional creativity and flexibility, the new 4K compact digital cinema camera is perfect for a broad range of imaging professionals.

As the first Cinema EOS camera to support the new RAW recording format – Cinema RAW Light – the EOS C200 provides the same flexibility in colour grading as Cinema RAW in a smaller file size, enabling filmmakers to record internally to a CFast 2.0™ card.
Newly developed Canon Dual DIGIC DV6 processors provide the ability to record internally 4K UHD/50P MP4, 4K DCI RAW and continuous 120fps High Frame Rate (HFR) in Full HD without crop. At the same time, advances in Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus (AF) technology and a new touch screen LCD monitor provide smooth AF operation and effective tracking.

Capability drives creativity

The EOS C200 features Canon’s 4K Super 35mm CMOS sensor with an effective pixel count of 8.85MP, along with the newly developed Dual DIGIC DV6 image processors. As a result, it candeliver Cinema RAW Light recording at 4K DCI 50P internally to a CFast 2.0™ card. It can also deliver 4K UHD recording at 150Mbps, and 2K or Full HD at 35Mbps to SD cards in MP4 format.

Supporting up to 15-stops of dynamic range with Cinema RAW Light and up to 13-stops of dynamic range in MP4 (Canon Log / Log 3), the camera is perfect for capturing highlight and shadow details.
The EOS C200 is also capable of delivering both slow and fast motion recording at up to 120fps with no crop in Full HD/MP4, ideal for those wanting creative slow motion capture.

An ISO range of 100 to 102,400 guarantees excellent performance, even in difficult lighting conditions, such as when quickly switching between locations. The built-in optical ND filters of up to 10 stops provide further flexibility and convenience, allowing filmmakers to shoot in bright light and expand the depth of field control.

Advanced operability and ergonomic design

Built for professionals and ideal for single shooters, the EOS C200 features an advanced AF system that provides reliability and accuracy when shooting 4K, as well as a touch screen LCD panel for filmmakers to easily select their subject. For those who need to switch effortlessly between several subjects in a single shot, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF enables smooth AF operation whilst the Manual Focus Assist Function, Face Detection with Face Priority and Face-Only options provide greater creative focus control.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II – what we know and what we can expect

View Post

Canon will likely announce the Canon EOS 6D Mark II in July 2017. We didn’t see any reliable leak so far, with the exception of some information for the registration at a certification authority.

So what can we expect from the EOS 6D Mark II, Canon’s next iteration of the highly popular EOS 6D? From the registration we can learn a few things. The EOS 6D Mark II will have WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity (we told you first), a tiltable display (we told you first), and a size slightly larger than the EOS 6D. Not much, isn’t it?

So, what else may be on board? We received some hints over the last two years, most of these are just plausible to be features of the EOS 6D Mark II, or are suggested by common sense. Let’s see:

  • The EOS 6D Mark II will have e newly developed sensor, 28MP is the most likely resolution
  • Dual Pixel AF will be on board. Canon is featuring DPAF on entry-level DSLRs, we can expect it for sure on the EOS 6D Mrk II
  • The price will be around $2,000
  • Unlikely to have 4K video
  • The AF system will see some sort of upgrade
  • Touchscreen
  • Digic 7 (likely)
  • Larger viewfinder than EOS 6D

The list above is an educated guess based on the hints we received, and on the current state of technology. And that’s all. A month before the announcement (more or less) we know almost nothing. That’s unusual in the rumors industry. However, the leaked registration at a certification agency (assuming it refers to the EOS 6D Mark II) gives reasons to believe an announcement in July 2017 is likely.

Stay tuned!
