And how many of those people have already used the camera at several weddings and posted illustrative images showing exactly where the 6D MkII is failing them?
Adios...... :
I still can shoot a full wedding with 5d mk ii and get excellent result. But that's not an excuse or reson for Canon to be idiotic with their sensor. A sensor is a main part of the camera. And everyone expects that to be better in the next version of a body. Every other vendors are doing that and showing that on the face of canon.
This inability and cash grab mentality of canon is what irritates me. that's why decided to not support them anymore.
will the 6d2 DR be enough for me? Certainly! Will the other vendors put out bodies with better DR in the same price range? Certainly, too. So why would I pay canon? I will always support the company who innovates and has less cash grab mentality. Exactly why I am replacing all my canon glasses to art. gradually.

Ok. So I got my 6d mark II today. It's badass... only one problem. Lightroom isn't ready for it and Raw files won't open. Lightroom can't read them. So I called canon. Tech told me Lightroom won't have the plug ready for several weeks to a month. So till then you have to use canons editing software. Also, i used the last free Lightroom before the creative cloud version with my 5d3. Now I'll have to pay for the creative cloud version. Double bummer? Camera is sick though.

So in answer to my question, none.... :

I don't know how about you, but I never pay for DR only. I also pay for great ergonomics and handling, reliability, consistency and good repair and maintenance services. The whole Canon system is very cohesive and reliable. I'm not buying just a sensor in a box.
All companies have cash-grab mentality, it's just Canon is on top, so it's most prominent. Have you seen latest Sony GM lens prices? Almost make L-lenses look like a bargain.
I understand your frustration, I really do. It's a shame that Canon did not improved 6D II in DR deparment, while they certainly have the means to do so. And? Big deal, just skip that body altogether. If your 6D serves you just fine, why change it? Never fix, what ain't broke

Whiners and grovelers in general aren't interested in logical commentary. They just want to kick the cat in frustration and well, whine and grovel. It is what it is, don't worry, be happy.

Come down to ground. Here is the latest from Canon's 2nd quarter:
"Within the Imaging System Business Unit, although sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras
**declined compared with the previous year, owing to the shrinking market**, unit sales of compact-system
cameras, including the newly launched EOS M6, increased from the same period of previous year, allowing
Canon to maintain the top share in major countries in Europe, the U.S. and Japan"
And ppl. expect that a 6DMK2 will have 4K, 30Mpix and other 5dMKIV rivaling features. Well it's a shrinking market, so they maximize profits.
We'll see what did Sony/Nikon achieve on the 1st/3rd of August.

Yes and Sony/Nikon are just going to give all their features away for free on the upcoming cameras. The cameras will have twice the features and cost half as much and the companies will be twice as profitable and provide better service to boot with half the number of emplyees. ;D ;D ;D It's another version of the new math.

It turns out that a mistake might have been made with the original 6D data and that Trusted Reviews are now planning to do a re-test - please see link below with a response from Trusted Reviews:

Why not sell your two bodies and pick up a 5D4? That seems easier than switching brands and selling everything.
Of course, what I think you'll actually do is not get the 5D4, not switch to Nikon or Sony, and just hang around and whine about Canon.

Then you were wrong and don't "have the last version before the CC version" (in the sense that you can get 6.X without CC, anyway), and you don't "have to pay for the CC version" (at least in the sense of using CC, you can just get a standalone perpetual license for 6.X).
Come on, you spent $2000 on a camera body and you're balking at less than $100 on upgrading to the new version of LR to work with it? And you're blaming it on your unwillingness to switch to CC, which you don't have to do? Really?
