When the first reports came out about a Canon EOS R6 Mark II in the near-term pipeline, we were a bit sceptical, but we are finally confident that a Canon EOS R6 Mark II is definitely coming sooner than later.
A very good source has sent us some basic specifications of what we can expect from the Canon EOS R6 Mark II.
Canon EOS R6 Mark II Specifications (Rumored)
- 24mp Full-frame CMOS Sensor
- In-body stabilization
- 12fps Mechanical
- 4K 30p (No Crop)
- 4K 60p (Cropped. The EOS R6 is a 1.1x crop)
- Canon Log 3/HDR PQ
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF
- SD/SDHC dual card slot
- Not much change in the form factor over the original EOS R6
We are not sure if the image sensor in these specifications is a version of the sensor in the Canon EOS R3. We think that this would be highly probable.
There are some similarities between these specifications and what was reported yesterday about a Canon EOS R8. Do we have some specification overlap? Are there two cameras on the near horizon? We're not sure at the moment. That said, this information about the Canon EOS R6 Mark II should be considered extremely reliable.
These are early rumored specifications, as such, there is obviously a lot missing here.
We hope to have further clarity in the coming days.
More to come…
And the step forward is quite small, as already mentioned.
Anything else – I don’t care
Oh didn't know!
But still, the specs are the same besides the megapixels. Well, we shall wait and see what comes next.
I have an R, and I want to buy a new camera mostly for video(I'll do photography as well), and R6 is a very good choice. No 4k 120 but I can live with that. But I might wait for the final specs of this new R6. I'll make a choice after Christmas
Wish it will have top lcd and mode dial like R5.
R6M2 has to compete with Sony A9 line, so it needs fast sensor, capable of shooting without mechanical shutter.
If it really has the R3 sensor, it might be worth waiting.
If you struggle with the higher price, go get R6 now.
From my experience (trying out in shop) the EVF, the AF and the sensor performance of the R6 is much better than your RP.
If you are willing to wait to buy best for higher price, just wait.
Maybe with more information, the price of the "old" R6 might drop...
