Canon EOS-6D Mark II Camera Coming Q2 2017?

Canon EOS-6D Mark II full frame DSLR?

As reported earlier in September and earlier, Canon is expected to announce the EOS-6D Mark II camera some time in 2017. Originally there was talk perhaps around the CP+ Show in February next year but the most recent information I have received indicates it is more likely to be in Q2 of 2017. The new camera will have a new sensor of mid 20 MP, an articulating screen, dual memory card slots (one CF and one SD) and video capability better than HD but not quite 4K video. 

There are cameras out in the wild for testing already. New material and ergonomics will make the Mark II body handle better and lighter. Expect the price to be slightly higher than the Mark I model.

Canon EOS-6D Mark II Camera plus New DSLR in 2017

Canon EOS-6D Mark II camera?

I have just returned from another successful wildlife photo trip to the High Arctic testing the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II camera. Trying to get back to my blog and catching up with the latest photography news. It will take me a week or two to get back to speed and precious little time to process the photos because by then, my next tour will be here already. I have a very busy Summer touring season ahead of me. You can see my equipment bag and works on MichaelDanielHo.com

My sources informed me the entry level, Canon EOS-6D Mark II full frame camera will be announced Q1, 2017 with a delivery date of Q2. It may have a new sensor in the mid 20MP range but details are hard to come by right now. Also, there is a possibility Canon may introduce a brand new designation, EOS-XD camera in 2017. This will certainly revive rumors about the EOS-3D, a nameplate that has been mentioned since 2005.

Canon has its hands full with the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II starting to deliver in higher volume now. Then the EOS-5D Mark IV will be announced around August, with a Q4 delivery date. The EOS-6D Mark II and EOS-M4 will be a 2017 story. Keep checking back for the latest info as I get them.

There is a top-rated merchant on eBay selling the Canon EOS-6D camera for $999 including free shipping. This is an excellent deal for anyone thinking of upgrading to full frame digital photography from either a Rebel or Powershot camera.

Although I am not a fan of the Canon EOS-6D, this camera can be a good value for those who want to enter the world of full frame photography on a limited budget. Read my earlier post on the Canon EOS-5D Mark III vs. EOS-6D comparison and the Nikon D600 is added in for the three way comparison. For those trying to decide between the EOS-7D Mark II and EOS-6D, read my post on their comparison. Expect the Mark II version to make its debut some time in 2016.

My own preference is to buy a refurbished or well maintained EOS-5D Mark III instead.You can read my guide to the best Canon cameras.

Came across this video comparing the newly released Canon EOS-6D, the Nikon D600 and the EOS-5D MK III cameras.  The first two are entry level full frame DSLR and the last one is a semi-pro camera.

This video is from the standpoint of an everyday user and not a professional photographer. I have picked the EOS-5D MK III as the best value in full frame DSLR today and you can see my analysis of the camera here. Visit my website MichaelDanielHo.com to see photos taken with the cameras.
