More Canon 6D Mark II Rumors

Canon 6D Mark II

Northlight Images reports of an ad in the UK ‘EOS’ camera magazine that includes a “6D Mark 2 day out” later this year.

That’s probably a typo but there have been a deluge of rumors for the 6D Mark II, 5D Mark IV/X and 1D X Mark II lately – and isn’t it a little late in the product cycle to promote an “original 6D day out”?

Previous rumors indicated that the 6D Mark II would feature a smaller body and move up market in price. As Northlight points out, “If the 5D4 becomes some ‘X’ model with 4k video and other whistles and bells, then it might leave space for a move upwards in 6D2 specs.”

Expect the rumor mill to pick up as we approach the next major announcement.

Canon 1D X Mark II to Get ‘Massive Improvement’ in Dynamic Range?

Canon 1D X Mark II Mockup

If you are beholden to DxO Mark scores as you camera judgment standards, then you know Sony and Nikon have been trouncing Canon in overall “sensor scores” of late. Of course, there is a lot more to a camera than an objective sensor score and many faithful Canon shooters would argue that the results they get from their DSLRs are superior to what a comparable Sony or Nikon model would deliver.

Canon 6D Mark II Rumors

Canon 6D Mark II

New rumors point to Canon releasing a 6D Mark II sometime after the Canon 5D Mark IV finally lands, which Canon Rumors says won’t be until 2016. On the spec side though, the 6D Mark II is rumored to be slightly smaller and lighter than the original Canon 6D and possibly have a different battery. Resolution is said to possibly increase slightly but no real earth-shattering changes are rumored for the camera.
