New & capable full frame HDSLR by Canon: The EOS 6D

Canon just introduced a new full frame DSLR camera. It comes at almost half the price of the 5D mark III and offers very similar HD recording features. So it comes with the usual HDSLR bling bling like manual audio, 25p, 30p and so on, the Canon rep on the phone said that movie recording is “same like on the 5D mark III“.

The press release also talks about the HD recording side of the camera which makes it look like a pretty capable HDSLR.

Rumor: Canon EOS 70D & EOS 7D mark II on the way?

The first rumors about the next HDSLR cameras in line on Canon’s DSLR roadmap are coming in.

With Canon’s introduction of the 5D mark III 2 months ago some filmmakers are eager to see a more affordable version of the new generation of Canon’s HDSLRs.

For others the APS-C sized sensor which comes very close to the 35mm film format is an argument against the 5D mark III.

Unfortunately there are no dates mentioned for the release of these cameras yet but rumored specs lists are a good start. Published by canonrumors:
