This report suggests the MkII will have an articulated screen,plus other stuff.

Re: 6D MkII
I like the articulated screen on my 70D and G12 and have found it to be a very useful feature in the past. I also like the rumoured specs on the 6DII, it might tempt me to go full frame if the rumours prove to be true.John

Re: 6D MkII
When doing macro from very low positions on a tripod with legs splayed fully out, an articulated screen is invaluable, otherwise you have to lie down flat behind the viewfinder or screen. As I get older, I'm more and more concerned that if I lie down flat in the middle of a field, I might struggle to get up again.EOS 6D, 6D Mk II, 80D, 70D, 100D, 200D, M50, M100.

Re: 6D MkII
Some specs posted overnight on canonrumors as CR3 (=pretty reliable) point to 26mp sensor and articulated screen ... plus announcement around end of the month ...Comment

Re: 6D MkII
I have been following rumours of the 6d Mk ll with interest for some months now, and we were going to have confirmation for sure, for sure, late April--- a date which has obviously now passed
The articulated screen and high pixel count (?24mp) seem to be consistent so I would think that as and when this makes its appearance we can count on it
As for the usefullness of the articulated screen- well all you purists out there who turn up your noses at it- try it and you'll wonder how you ever managed without it!Comment

Re: 6D MkII
I have a 6D and also occasionally use a 600D at work which has the articulated screen which I find very useful for high and low shots. Having said that with my 6D on a tripod and using the Camera Connect App I can control all I need to and view taken images on my phone which is exactly what I did when Bo and I took the LE exposure shots recently in Menorca.Comment

Re: 6D MkII
In answer to Antoeknee's original question, an articulated screen for me is a must-have! I suffer from joint problems and often trying to get a view of the screen with a fixed display is impossible - I had to get rid of my old EOS 20D for that reason and replaced it with a 700D. Now I am awaiting the 6D II with great interest.

Re: 6D MkII
Good point Tony.....I'm guessing the new 6DII will be specified between the 5D3 and 5D4.Brian Vickers LRPS

Re: 6D MkII
I think this will be a cracking camera provided the size/weight doesn't increase. Improved AF not that I needed it would be appreciated by many. If the IQ is even better then what's not to like apart from the price?
The floppy screen will be a great addition. I've taken a lot of low angle shots and the occasional high one and this makes composition so much easier than lying on the floor.
£2k+ is a lot of money though for the body alone.TS-E17 F4L, 70-300L, 100 F2.8L Macro. http://www.flickr.com/photos/waynelsworth/Comment
