According to reports, the Canon 6d mk2 "entry level" full frame camera is being launched on Thursday (29th June), replacing the original 6d that's been out for coming up to 5 years now. Leaked specs seem OK, with an articulating touchscreen, 45 point all cross type AF system and 26mp ... BUT... no 4k video and only a single SD card slot!
Have Canon gone far enough with this camera? Has it closed the gap on the Nikon D750? ... Speaking of which, the Nikon is rumoured to being replaced itself shortly, so the gap will widen again in favour of the Nikon. Canon will be playing catch-up yet again. Maybe they should've knocked the specs outta the park to future-proof it a bit. However, I can understand that they don't want to make it too attractive to potential 5D4 purchasers.
Anyhow, has anyone else been waiting for this camera to enter the fray? ... and are you happy with the leaked specs so far? ...
