Canon EOS 6D Mark II retail price in Japan leaks, it’s around $2100 converted, available in August 2017

EOS 6D Mark II

Nokishita posted the Canon EOS 6D Mark II price tags for Japan.

  • EOS 6D Mark II body: 243,000 Yen (approx. $2,160)
  • Kit with EF 24 – 105mm F 3.5-5.6 IS STM: 290,520 Yen (approx. $2,590)
  • Kit with EF 24 – 70mm F4 L IS USM: 353,160 Yen ($3,150)

My take: the rumor suggesting a price of $1,999 for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II in the USA is still to consider. Even if the conversion from Yen is around $2,100, it doesn’t mean the price in the USA will the more or less exact conversion from the Yen. A price of $1,999 for the body is still likely.

The availability of the EOS 6D Mark II in August 2017 also seems confirmed once more.

Very nice specifications. The EOS 6D Mark II is an allrounder, a DSLR that offers great flexibility and performance for both videographers and still photographers. Reminds me the Canon EOS 80D in some way, a sort of  Jack of all Trades but with a full-frame sensor. I am pretty sure the EOS 6D Mark II is going to be another bestseller, especially if the $1,999 price gets confirmed. Kudos Canon.

Marketing-wise, we heard that the EOS 6D Mark II will be touted as the world’s lightest full-frame DSLR with a vari-angle display.

Announcement expected for June 28 or 29, 2017. Stay tuned!

More Canon EOS 6D Mark II specification suggestions emerge

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

At less than a 3 weeks from the supposed Canon EOS 6D Mark II announcement we still know very little about Canon’s next entry-level fullframe DSLR. Very weird. Some new specification suggestions emerged, and we are here to report.

Over the last 2 years we got a lot of suggestions, which you can see in the list below. Most of the EOS 6D Mark II specifications floating around on the web leaked first here on Canon Watch. The list below is the same, original list all other sites are reposting. I added the new specification suggestions in italics.

  • All new sensor, rumored to have 26MP (we were told 28MP and reported first here and here and here)
  • Tilting LCD (we reported first here)
  • Touchscreen (we reported first here)
  • DIGIC 7
  • Aiming for a sub $2000 USD body only price (we told you first here)
  • Dual Pixel AF (we reported first here)
  • No 4K, 1080/60 instead (we reported first)
  • Wifi, NFC & other connectivity (we reported first in 2015)
  • Larger viewfinder (possibly 100%)
  • New AF system (we reported first here)
  • New battery grip BG-E21
  • HDR movie
  • Time lapse mode

Knowing the EOS 6D Mark II will make HDR movies and have a time lapse mode are not really earthshaking leaks, but still better than nothing.

Latest rumor about the announcement points to June 29, 2017. Stay tuned!

Canon EOS 6D Mark II coming June 29, featuring 26MP sensor? [CW3]

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

The rumor mill is getting hot on the Canon EOS 6D Mark II. A new rumor suggests the EOS 6D Mark II may have a 26MP sensor, and that it may be announced on June 29.

Previously, we got rumor for an announcement on July 20/21. Then, some leaked information about the EOS 6D Mark II and other unregistered gear made me think Canon may announce it earlier. The latest announcement rumor suggests June 29 for the announcement. The 6D Mark II should then ship in August.

The other interesting bit concerns the image sensor. Until now the rumoured resolution was 28MP. The new rumor suggests it will be 26MP. It’s still suggested it will be a completely new sensor (which also the EOS 6D got when released).

We still have no reliable information about the feature set. For the time being, the following (suggested to us over the last 2 years) are likely to be EOS 6D Mark II features:

  • A newly developed sensor, 26MP is the latest rumoured resolution
  • Dual Pixel AF will be on board
  • Price around $2,000
  • Unlikely to have 4K video
  • Upgraded AF system
  • Touchscreen
  • Tiltable display
  • Digic 7
  • WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Larger viewfinder than EOS 6D
  • Slightly larger than EOS 6D
  • New battery grip BG-E21

The announcement of the EOS 6D Mark II will go along with the announcement for the Rebel SL2 and a new entry-level mirrorless camera.

All Canon EOS 6D Mark II rumors.

Stay tuned!

The Canon EOS 6D Mark II may be announced earlier than July 20/21, 2017

 

canon rumorsEos 6d mark ii

A few days ago we have been told that Canon will announce the EOS 6D Mark II, Rebel SL2, and a new entry-level MILC (suggested to be named EOS M20) on July 20 or 21, 2017.

The rumor came from a new source and was rated CW2. I have now reasons to believe that Canon may announce the highly-anticipated-still-covered-by-mystery EOS 6D Mark II and the other gear earlier in July 2017. Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Rebel SL2 kit descriptions have been leaked on always reputable Nokishita, a fact suggesting  the announcement may be closer than July 20/21.

The unusual thing here is that we still know nothing reliable about the EOS 6D Mark II. If the announcement is a month (more or less) away, I hope some information will leak soon.

The Canon 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.
