What do the 80D specs mean for the 6D Mark II?
1 day ago

COMPLETE SPECULATION POST HERE...

The 70D and 6D are similar in some ways, less similar in others. But they seem to inhabit a similar space in their respective markets (lots of value for the $$). Many believe that the 80D specs will largely port to the 6D Mark II. If so...

Some of the 80D specs were just leaked and here they are...

24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Continuous shooting 7 fps
Continuous shooting with live view 5 fps (AF tracking)
AF 45 points (all points cross type)
7560 pixel RGB + IR photometry sensor
ISO range: 100-16,000
Viewfinder has 100% field of view
3 inches vari-angle LCD monitor, touchscreen
Video: full HD 60fps
Time-lapse movie
HDR
Creative filters
Built-in Wi-Fi, NFC
Remote control from smartphone

Compared to the 70D, the 80D received a 20% increase in MP. DPAF stayed the same as the frame rate but live view AF tracking has been improved.  There are 137% more AF points.  The viewfinder is larger.  FPS in video has been increased.

And let's not forget that there's probably a good chance that the 80D has on-sensor ADC meaning ISO performance (and thus, DR) will be improved by at least a stop at base ISO.

So if we port over the major improvements to the 6D Mark II, we're looking at a spec list something like...

24MP FF CMOS sensor
Hopefully DPAF and hopefully with on-sensor ADC
Probably the same 4.5 FPS - more is always appreciated though
Better live view (assuming DPAF) performance
~26 AF points (11 + 137% more) - we pray it's more than 1 cross type
Better viewfinder - 100% this time?
Let's hope for at least a touchscreen to be used with DPAF

Hopefully these are the headline specs (or similar) for the 6D Mark II.  Better specs than this is always better, of course (and more expensive).

Personally, I'd also like to see metering linked to the AF point, AF point joystick, 6 FPS, and a body the size of the 70D (the 70D fits my hand perfectly while the 6D is a hair larger than I'd like).  But Canon didn't ask what I wanted so we'll see I guess!  

Thoughts?  Does this seem reasonable?

PS - would be funny to see this speculation specification list show up on the rumor sites!  lol
