Canon Announces the 6D Mark II and SL2 Cameras



With perhaps one of the most hotly anticipated updates, Canon has announced the 6D Mark II, the second version of their popular budget full-frame camera, which now has some intriguing new features. They’ve also announced the SL2, the second version of their smallest DSLR. Check out the improvements to each model! 

The Canon 6D was my first full-frame camera, and I was truly bummed to let it go when I finally did. It was light, affordable, and had a fantastic sensor. It’s only real weak spot was the AF system, but Canon has provided a massive upgrade to that with the 6D Mark II, along with a first-time feature in a Canon full-frame offering. Check out the pictures and specs:
