Canon rumors: Canon EOS 6D Mark II with Android

Rumors about Canon has always attracted the attention of photographers around the world. Do you already know the news about the Canon EOS 6D Mark II?

Gossip about the Canon EOS 6D Mark II has been circulating on the Internet quite aggressively in recent months, and also circulated about the specifications of the EOS 6D Mark II. There are several versions about the features and specifications, which are generally not guarantees about the original specification of this DSLR camera.

According to the canonrumors.com mentioned that the camera coming with a version of Android which will replace the DRYOS system developed by Canon that is on the current EOS 6D. Canon will replace VXWorks with Android, but Canon switched to DRYOS from VXWorks quite a while ago. If this is true, then the EOS 6D Mark II is the first DSLR camera that uses Android technology.

There is also a confusing news, whether Canon EOS 6D Mark II will use a 24 megapixel sensor, or 28 MP? In other news, the 6D Mark II will be targeted to the upscale market, so that this camera will be expensive. Certainly not attractive for beginners who do not yet have an appropriate budget.

It would be nice if 6D Mark II was designed as a DSLR camera entry level technology with full-frame, so that the beginners and anyone who wants to pursue photography seriously could have a full-frame camera, so there will be more and more photographers emerging worldwide ,

Just as you, I am also confused by the various news that is uncertain, but the rumor is always interesting to be investigated further, especially about Canon or Nikon. Instead you are too busy to think about it, we are just waiting for official information from the companies about the specifications and when the Canon EOS 6D Mark II will be launched, whether the end of this year or the first quarter of 2016? Similarly, we hope that this camera can be purchased at a friendly price.
