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.

I have just returned from a travel photography shoot in the Canadian Rockies. My readers know I have picked the EOS-7D as the best APS-C camera for wildlife photography four years in a row. The EOS-7D Mk II is fast becoming my favorite body to take that title. You can read my recommendation for Canon's best cameras and see my works on MichaelDanielHo.com 

Canon EOS-6D Firmware 1.1.6 Released

Canon EOS-6D full frame DSLR camera

Canon has released a software update to the EOS-6D camera. Firmware Version 1.1.6 incorporates the following fixes :

• Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera may not first use the center AF point to focus, when the AF point selection is set to automatic in AI Servo AF mode.
• Fixes a phenomenon in which focus cannot be finely adjusted with specific lenses when shooting remotely with EOS Utility software.
• Corrects some Ukrainian language displayed on the menu for ISO Setting.

Firmware Version 1.1.6 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.1.4. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1.1.6, it is not necessary to update the firmware. Click here for download. You can also see a comparison of the recently released EOS-7D Mk II vs. the EOS-6D.
