 Re: 6D II Speculation | |
I still think the 6D segment is where Canon can experiment with a mirrorless offering in existing EF-mount. With this one move they can:
1) Address Nikon\'s competitive model(s) while at the same time leveraging a) cost savings, b) weight savings, c) the competitive advantage of their proprietary technology (DPAF), and d) the trendiness of mirrorless.
2) Address Sony\'s MILC challenge without much risk (Canon\'s reputation isn\'t hinging on a 6D, while it might be on a 1D or 5D), while at the same time throwing them a subtle snub (downmarketing MILCs, at least for now).
3) Pose not only no threat of model cannibalism, but in fact might even spur existing Canon EF investors to add this very different model with very different strengths to their existing arsenal.
