After photographing the solar eclipse in Idaho, I couldn't resist continuing my "long-service leave" and returning to Canada's Yukon Territory for some early season aurora hunting in September 2017. I had just two and half weeks (one New Moon cycle) based with my friends and supporters Andrea and Florian Lemphers at Shallow Bay, north of the capital Whitehorse.
The camera gear testing lab DxOMark has just published its review of the Canon 6D Mark II. The conclusion is that the DSLR's sensor is "very good," but it trails behind the latest and greatest sensors by both Canon itself and the rival brands Nikon and Sony.
After weeks of rumors and leaks, Canon has just officially announced the new 6D Mark II. It's a new full frame DSLR offered at a relatively affordable price point.
Canon is getting ready to unveil its new Canon 6D Mark II DSLR later this month, and the camera will reportedly feature a brand new 26-megapixel sensor.
If you're a big fan of Canon's cameras but can't quite muster the pocket money to buy the newest 5D, you're probably keen on news about a different camera: the followup to Canon's entry-level full-frame 6D, the 6D Mark II. Sadly, that camera is still a ways off, but here's everything we "know" so far.
It seems Canon has some big surprises in store for 2017. Not only is the follow-up to the entry-level full-frame EOS 6D in the works, there's talk of a brand-new EOS DSLR as well.
Update: According to Amateur Photographer, Canon has clarified that Amazon UK "got it wrong." The 6D is not discontinued, although Amazon UK plans to stop selling it.
When a manufacturer officially discontinues a model, it's like a teaser trailer for what's to come. You might have no idea what's going on, but you know that something new is coming. Well, as of today, both the Sony RX1 and the Canon 6D have been marked as discontinued on different online retailers.
