Canon 1000D vs Canon 6D

Below is a in-depth overview of the Canon 1000D versus Canon 6D, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Advanced DSLR and both are created by Canon. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the 1000D (10MP) and 6D (20MP) and the 1000D (APS-C) and 6D (Full frame) provide totally different sensor measurements.

The 1000D was manufactured 5 years prior to the 6D and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 1000D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before getting into a comprehensive comparison, here is a short summary of how the 1000D scores vs the 6D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 1000D and Canon EOS 6D. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 1000D Gallery and Canon 6D Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon 1000D comes with physical measurements of 126mm x 98mm x 65mm (5.0" x 3.9" x 2.6") along with a weight of 502 grams (1.11 lbs) and the Canon 6D has proportions of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") and a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you are using at that time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the 1000D vs the 6D.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the 1000D and 6D is 70 and 59 respectively.

Often, its tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements merely by seeing specifications. The visual here may provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 1000D and 6D.

To sum up, the 2 cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 1000D due to its smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF tougher and the Canon 6D will produce more detail due to its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older 1000D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
