Any owners yet?
Edited, hehe In all seriousness, Canon have ballsed this up. The original was a great camera, and everything about the new one is great other than IQ. Crazy IMO.
Any owners yet?
I don't think any DSLR will impress him now that he seems to have got the mirrorless bug, judging from that video and the D850 one he has also put out.Anyone seen the Tony Northrup review? The man is not impressed!!
NiceAfter 2 years of waiting for this camera to come out I've dropped the cash and gone for it..........
and bought a 5dMkiv.
I guess he's in the best position as he tests camera's on a regular basis...... mirrorless is obviously giving him what he wants/needsI don't think any DSLR will impress him now that he seems to have got the mirrorless bug, judging from that video and the D850 one he has also put out.
Digital rev is dead?I really have no idea where they get some of these reviewers from these days! The D750 vs 6DmkII comparison on Digital Rev is comical. They clearly are just going of spec sheets. Some of the hands on reviews are so bias either towards Nikon or Canon its unreal!

Well done, genuinely pleased for you and a camera I had considered too.

And bought a Nikon d750!!!
(Saving £1700 compared to 5d mark iv to put into lenses. All these arguments about swapping systems costing money? I should be well in!)

Brave man! I am tempted to follow suit, do you/did you have a lot of Canon gear to sell? Any particular reason for the switch?
Hi Archie.
As primarily a landscape photographer I wanted to do 2 things, save weight primarily and as a bonus (at the time) gain base ISO dynamic range.
So, a year ago I bought a pair of Sony A7 ii's, but kept most of my canon glass. I quickly realised that I loved the increase in dynamic range alongside the weight saving and the tilt screen. However, in my opinion mirrorless does not really work (as in you don't gain the weight savings using converted lenses) unless you use lightweight native lenses. Also, I realised that I missed a DSLR, I found the Sony very frustrating and missed my old Canons.
The plan then was to wait for the 6dii which would obviously show the same leaps forward as the 80d, 1dxii and 5div with on sensor ADC technology. But hopefully be lighter and gain an articulated screen. Well, this wasn't to be so I am chopping in my Sony cameras and Canon lenses to move to Nikon. To be fair the D750 looks an absolute beast of a camera.
I know a lot of people bat on about not switching and I fully get that I am the weak link with my equipment whatever system I use but to be honest I enjoy buying new stuff and I have another reason to want to learn both of the major systems as well as mirrorless. I'm sure I will love the D750 but equally there will be things Canon do better, and I will still miss Canon I have shot them on film and digital for years.
Thanks for the detailed response Craig. Please keep us up to date on your progress.
Is the increased dynamic range that apparent pre and post processing?
Without meaning any offence, but are you an amateur?
I would hazard a guess that's because this camera's market is not forum members. Most of us don't see any major advantage of spending £2000 especially if you already own a full frame camera. The latest crop sensor cameras are good enough to satisfy most amateur photographers there is very little advantage in upgrading. (a lot more cost for little extra advantage)
Because majority think this camera does not warrant a interest. It will still sell more than any nikon camera unfortunatelyI can't believe how quiet it is in here seeing as this is a new camera...
Do you need to update Lightroom to cope with the 6D II raw files? Although raw files from different cameras have the same file suffix, there are usually little tweaks to the structure which require software vendors like Adobe to issue updates. Have you tried opening the raw files with the DPP software that was supplied with the camera?Don’t know what happened with the sd card, was set to record raw, but lightroom can’t open the files. Put said card in my 7 markii and it worked fine. Back in the 6 and no joy. Reset to large jpeg and that was ok.
I thought I would find some on Flickr by searching by camera but the camera does not appear on Canon's list.Any pictures, guys?

TBH you probably wouldn't notice any difference to a lot of other cameras with the final image.
Depends on what camera are being compared to and what conditionsTBH you probably wouldn't notice any difference to a lot of other cameras with the final image.

IndeedTrue to come degree, but a lot will still be compensated for in PP (noise, DR via layers, colour etc).
