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.

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.

Canon EOS 6D Mark II announcement on July 20/21? [CW2]

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

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 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!

Some Canon mirrorless full-frame camera talk

canon rumors

Some new murmurings about the upcoming Canon mirrorless full-frame camera emerged over the web.

Although the rumor has a low credibility ranking, it is never the less interesting to see what’s suggested (some specs leaked first here on CW)

  • Canon may announce full frame mirrorless camera for Photokina 2018 (September)
  • EF mount will be native (we reported)
  • New exclusive image sensor for the camera.
  • New sensor technology required for the EF mount in a mirrorless application
  • No new “dedicated” lenses, but mirrorless will be “considered in all future EF lens design”
  • 4K video is considered a necessary feature in all full frame cameras
  • One full frame mirrorless camera body to start
  • There is testing at Canon of a more hybrid approach between DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras.

It’s difficult to discern if this is a “real rumor” (whatever that means) or if the list above is made up from logical thinking. However, each of the points above makes sense, some like native EF mount and 4K video were suggested before, and are very high on most people’s wish list.

Please note also this. 2017 is the year when Canon is supposed to eventually announce the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. While I hope there will be an EOS 6D Mark II, I also got more than one suggestion that Canon may not release the EOS 6D Mark II but instead announce a mirrorless full-frame camera.

The latest announcement rumor for the EOS 6D Mark II is July 2017, which I do not really believe to be true. We are just to close to July and still nothing reliable leaked. That’s weird.

We know very little about the EOS 6D Mark II (if there will ever be one). The list below is what was passed over to us in the last two years.

Some of the specifications above may well apply also to a mirrorless full-frame camera.

Stay tuned!

Canon EOS 6D Mark II announcement in July 2017 rumored again [CW2]

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

A new rumor surfaced on the web. It’s (again) suggested the Canon EOS 6D Mark II may be announced in July 2017, and ship in August 2017.

So far we do not have reliable rumors, neither for the specifications nor for the announcement. Summer or Fall are now the most suggested announcement dates after almost a year of shifted announcement dates.

All the EOS 6D Mark II specifications floating around on the web have been leaked first here on Canon Watch.

Please note that there have been rumors in the past suggesting Canon may not announce the EOS 6D Mark II but a mirrorless full-frame camera instead (most recent rumor). I hope there will be an EOS 6D Mark II, since the EOS 6D was a great DSLR. However, the EOS 6D Mark II is long overdue, and a full-frame mirrorless with EF mount as replacement is more likely than most people thinks.

If a July announcement is real then we will soon have some specs and maybe even one or two leaked pictures. As much as I hope the EOS 6D Mark II will be announced, and be announced soon, I do not entirely believe in a July announcement. We are just to close to July and still there is absolutely nothing that leaked about the EOS 6D Mark II. That’s a bit weird for a camera supposed to be announced in two months.

All EOS 6D Mark II rumors are here. Stay tuned!
