The new Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR is the newest entry level full frame camera from Canon. One of the most widely anticipated features is the 45-point all-cross type AF system and the DIGIC 7 Image Processor.. The original 6D had an 11 point AF system, and used the DIGIC 5+ Image Processor.

I have owned the Canon 6D for about a year now, and if I have any complaints at all, it is the speed of the AF system. I would like to see it a little faster. However, as I usually use a single AF point, I have no need for the Mark II’s 45 point AF system. Personally, I will not be upgrading to the 6D Mark II. I think if there is a feature you can’t live without, you might consider it, but everyone else should just wait for the next release.
