Has the Canon 6D Mark II DSLR been discontinued? It seems a simple enough question, but as is often the case with cameras being officially killed off, the answer is more complicated than it should be.
Canon released its 6D Mark II in 2017, and the Internet has been abuzz ever since then discussing its high ISO performance. There have been reports that the Mark II creates more noise at high ISOs than the original 6D.
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 early camera tests of the new Canon 6D Mark II were published, photographers balked at the fact that the dynamic range of the camera performed so poorly against other modern cameras. Now yet another review is showing that if you often shoot at high ISOs, you may be better off sticking with the original 6D from 2012.
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.
We're about a week away from when Canon will reportedly announce the new 6D Mark II DSLR (June 29), but today we're finally getting a first look at the camera itself. Behold: this is the 6D Mark II, as seen in leaked photos.
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 Canon photographer and you've been longing for a full frame DSLR with an articulating LCD screen, your wait will soon be over. The upcoming Canon 6D Mark II will reportedly be the company's first camera of that category to offer the flexible display.
When the Canon 6D was first released in 2012, it was a big deal—a lightweight DLSR that significantly lowered the barrier of entry into the full-frame market. But that was almost 5 years ago, and people are hungry for a Mark II. Fortunately, they won't have to wait long.
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.
