Relatively small but robust, it provided good image quality and many useful features, including integrated GPS and Wi-Fi. After almost 5 years, the time has come to welcome the arrival of its heir: the Canon EOS 6D Mark II.
The first photo I chose to show highlights one of the novelties that I find most interesting. So far, in the full frame reflexes, we’ve seen some tiltable screen while this is the first to have it fully articulated and touch-screen.
Over the years, we have witnessed a tendency for high profile features to expand from top to bottom, but there are also small to great conveniences that make the reverse journey: first approach the consumer models and only later on we find ourselves in the top of the range.
But let’s talk a little bit of detail, starting with the new 26.2MP full-frame sensor with native sensitivity up to ISO 40,000, coupled with a fast DIGIC 7 processors. The auto focus system is definitely better than the 6D, with 45 points cross and the addition of Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, allowing you to have a very quick response in Live View and during movie recording.
Video side starts with a ” unfortunately “, since the 4K is not expected (unless it is time-lapse), so it stops at a FHD 50/60fps depending on the standard set. There is a primacy, that is, 5-axis stabilization on the movies … so it seems like something that is not. This is a purely electronic feature that has already been seen in the APS-C models of the house (especially the M5) and which comes for the first time on a full-frame body.
