Lets talk about the upcoming Canon 6D Mark 2 ......

via - Nokishita Camera

Canon's full frame lineup has so far been a 3 tier system , at the top of the food chain , we have the 1DX's offspring - the elite race , below that , you have the general workhorse lineup - the 5D series , and if you go a bit down , you find the Canon 6D - a model that is popular among amateur wedding photogs and a second body option for those who own a 5D model .

But like all entry level models , the 6D was slightly neutered when compared to the higher end models , and this , along with the fact that both Sony and Nikon have 2 camera models to fight in the same category does mean that the 6D remained on the short end of the stick when specs are compared , however , a camera is still a tool , and so far I have seen many people shoot excellent work with this camera( eventhough the autofocus is not the best ) ,so the next model will definitely be a "kickass" camera (even if it gets destroyed by angry mobs who would probably pick on this as they did with the 5D Mk4 at first) .

Say hello to the rumored and now leaked Canon 6D Mark II . The new camera , designed to use 45 cross type AF points , dual pixel autofocusing and a touchscreen display , the new camera makes the older model look "old" as the change between the upcoming model and the first gen model from 2012 is worlds apart to some degree . For starters , new rumors state that the 6D mk2 will have a 26.2 MP 35mm sensor with Canon's excellent Dual pixel AF for tracking . This sensor features a maximum ISO upto 40,000 with boosted ISO upto 120,000 (the lowerst we predict is ISO 100 -but that's to be seen) . The sensor also features 45 cross type AF points , and it also features 6.4 fps in continuous shooting .

If you were planning on getting 4K and other video nick-nacks on this (4K timelapse is available though) , you will sadly have to consider the 5D mk4 ,or another system as Canon is rumored to leave that option out in favor of 1080p @ 60fps .This puts it in the same ball park as the 80D and will therefore not cannibalize Canon's 5D Mk4 sales ,so therefore it won't be a videography oriented camera even though its considered as a priority feature in this day and age (might as well get into Panasonic or Sony if you are into that anyway) .But like the EOS M5 , which was Canon's first mirrorless camera to rival its equivalent DSLR rival (80D) , the 6D MkII will feature 5 axis electronic image stability (EIS) which uses the internal gyroscopes and two axis stability from a stabilized lens ,this is not effective as IBIS ,but its much better than 2 axis and having to smooth out micro-jitters in post production .And also remember that the display is tillable and is a touchscreen which would be good for low angle shots and touch focusing on selected points in live-view .

Overall the 6D MkII looks to be a solid update to the 6D , the range , which focuses on intermediate photographers and second body buyers would surely benefit from the extended ISO and the AF system , videographers on the other hand would have to look elsewhere as this is a photo oriented device rather than a hybrid camera ,but if you already have a 80D and want a full frame sensor to take full advantage of the EF lenses (but care less about 4k) then this is right for you .

Expect the Canon 6D MKII to launched in about two weeks time .

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
