Canon Finally Confirms The EOS 6D Mark II

Canon Finally Confirms The EOS 6D Mark II
ФОТО: digitalrev.com

In an announcement that will come as no surprise to anyone paying attention over the last couple of weeks, Canon has confirmed that it will be shortly replacing its elderly EOS 6D DSLR with a fresh mark II version.

Given that the original EOS 6D was released back in 2012, and the fact that Canon has released many models since then, the new EOS 6D Mark II gains a significant level of updates.

Inside a weather- and dust-resistant body, the camera packs a brand new 26. 2MP full-frame sensor, which represents a modest but welcome step up over the EOS 6D’s 20. 2MP chip.

As with the sensors inside other recent Canon models, this has been designed with phase-detect AF pixels to provide Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology.

The more standard focusing system, which was a point of criticism on the original EOS 6D for only offering 11 points, has also been completely overhauled. Like the EOS 80D it features 45 AF points that are all cross-type, and 28 of these remain effective when using a lens – or lens/teleconverter combination – with a maximum aperture of f/8, with 9 of these remaining cross type.

Furthermore, in line with other recent DSLRs such as the EOS 77D and EOS 800D, the new arrival sports the company’s latest DIGIC 7 processor. This allows for burst shooting at 6. 5fps, together with Full HD video recording up to 60p.

Yep, that’s right: there’s no 4K video here. There is, however, a 4K time-lapse movie option, which stiches together images at a 4K resolution into a single movie, and you can also call upon digital five-axis image stabilisation when shooting videos conventionally.

As the rumours leading up to today's announcement made clear, the model has been designed with a vari-angle LCD screen, which can be pulled out from the body and twisted all the way around a side hinge to face the front. This boasts a resolution of 1. 04million dots and is also fully responsive to touch, while above this sits a pentaprism viewfinder that offers around 98% coverage.

As with the EOS 6D the model will arrive with Wi-Fi, although this is now augmented with NFC and low-energy Bluetooth technology that lets you keep the camera hooked up to your smartphone or tablet.

Battery life is quoted at around 1200 frames per charge, although the model will be launched along with a new BG-E21 battery grip (pictured below) which can boost this further.

Other key features include in-camera Raw processing, AF Microadjustment, Multiple exposure shooting and an HDR mode. HDR movie recording is also possible.

Expect the model to land in July, in both body-only and kit flavours.
