Canon Launches EOS 6D Mark II and Rebel SL2 DSLRs: Impressive Stills, No 4K Video

Canon’s new DSLR cameras are here to disappoint video shooters — again.

Canon continues to make minor updates to their DSLR bodies to play catch-up with their competitors. The video features are still lacking, and again the announcement comes with bizarre videos.

Canon 6D Mark II

The Canon 6D Mark II is a much-anticipated camera with some pretty sweet upgrades for photographers, but once again, this roll-out lacks good video updates.

This is the first full-frame Canon EOS camera with a vari-angle LCD monitor with touchscreen. It includes video features like Movie Servo AF, which tracks moving objects and keeps them in focus. The camera also includes Movie Digital image stabilization and HDR movie modes.

Here is the short Canon produced, shot on the 6D Mark II.
