Finnaly, this long awaited camera is oficialy announced. Is 1999$ in US, 1999 sterling in UK, and the battery grip for it is 249$. A much more detailed presentation can be found here: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-6D-Mark-II.aspx By afraid, this camera is not for me. Has no mirror lock-up, which is esential for astro photography. It's a pitty, to say the least. Even my old 60D has mirror lock-up.
And the most funny from a long line of dissapointed video previews of this camera. For the fun part wait until the finall minute. With Kai Wong, featuring Gordon Laing.

[/QUOTE] I wasn't aware that it didn't have MLU. Do you have a source for this? In any case wouldn't Live View suffice?
Somewhere in this biiiig presentation, I found this information http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-6D-Mark-II.aspx Exactly where, I can't remember. Anyway, is a good lecture for anyone interested in this camera. Some time Liveview can be used instead of mirror lock-up, but not always.

Here's the quote I found referencing MLU: "I would like to see mirror lockup with self-timer featured in this camera, but the 5Ds and 5Ds R remain the only current EOS models supporting this useful feature." No mention that it doesn't have MLU just doesn't have MLU with a self timer. Not trying to nitpick but that's a big difference.
Mirror lock-up (often abbreviated to MLU) is a feature employed in many Single Lens Reflex (SLR) cameras. It allows the operator to reduce vibration-induced motion blur during exposure. It also allows the mounting of lenses which extend into the SLR's mirror box when mounted.
