From Sigma:

Notice to our Canon mount lens users:

Thank you for purchasing and using our products.

We have found that Live View Mode cannot be used on the EOS 8000D (Rebel T6s / 760D) and EOS Kiss X8i (Rebel T6i / 750D) released on April 17th 2015 by Canon Inc. with some of SIGMA’s Canon mount interchangeable lenses. For those who own the lenses, we are going to provide a firmware update free of charge.

PhenomenonWhen the Live View Mode button on the camera body is pressed, the operation stops without displaying images on the rear LCD monitor.

Wonder if this will be an issue with future canon bodies as well or if it will only effect the t6i and t6s.

I was considering picking up a t6s but with the 50-150 OS being effected I might rule it out. Nice that sigma is offering firmware updates but sending lenses in is never fun!

I guess the other option is to wait for the C or A version to come out and get that with the dock, you'll be able to do the firmware update from home then, or from a shop.
