And to think, I'm still totally impressed by and satisfied with my 5D3 and original 6D. So much so that I am skipping this generation, and maybe even the next.

What would earn my 6D2 money is less weight, REDUCTION to 16 MP and with any luck, no AA filter. Now THAT would be the ultimate available darkness camera.

16MP without AA filter

I'm hoping for an improvement in tracking AF. I don't need 5D4 performance, but I'd like better then the 6D has. My aging original 5D is in need of replacement soon, and I suspect the 6D will be that replacement once the price settles after a few months.

I'd like 30MP and slightly crippled AF and fewer fps - much as in the original 6D/5DIII ratio. Either way the AF and MP has to be better than the current 6d to be interesting (obviously). Do not increase it's size: making it smaller would be nice. I don't need all the bells and whistles of the 5DIV. I was going to get a 5DIV, but the price is very bad, so I'm waiting to see what the 6DII will bring.

The latest rumors from Canon Watch are nearly perefct for me:

24MP or 25MP sensor
Dual Pixel AF
1080p/60
Dual SD card slots
NO 4K
Full tilt-able display
Touchscreen
NFC
Wifi
GPS
New AF system (19 points?)
Slightly smaller and lighter
Introductory price $1,999
Announcement expected Q2 2017

The fact that it may not have 4k is perfect for me, i could live with a camera that doesn't even have a video button, so 4k would just increase the price.

More and more there will be people making the choice you are making. A decade ago the rate of improvement and change in digital cameras was much faster and the starting point had more deficiencies. But today the existing cameras already exceed the requirements of the great majority of the people using them and the improvements, while real, are both smaller and less significant in their effect on one's photography.

To be clear, that is't meant as any sort of indictment or criticism of camera manufacturers. To the contrary, they have generally done a fine job of building and improving their products. Its just that no new technology bubble can continue to to improve my gigantic increments forever.

I also skipped some generations recently and I'm happy with that. I held onto my 5DII for quite a while — in modern camera terms — before moving to a 5DsR. For most people, upgrading every new generation isn't going to make that much sense.

First, it isn't going to happen. No modern camera model is going to see its sensor resolution reduced. As if that's not obvious.

Second, the early Fujifilm cameras were 16MP with no AA filter and the results were excellent.

My guess? You'll be very happy with the upgrade.

I suspect so too. My only real complaint about the 6D is that it is too small. I know this a positive feature to a lot of folk, but i quite like the chunkiness of my 5D.

The 5D was a fine camera — it was my first full frame body. I suspect that once you use the 6D for awhile that you won't really think much about the size difference.

Take care,

I'm good with these specs as well.

Would prefer more AF points and coverage area, but if the 19pts are mostly cross type and there are several that work in low light like the current 6D center point, I'd be satisfied.
