The 10D was manufactured 11 years before the 6D and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a short introduction of how the 10D scores vs the 6D in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 10D & Canon EOS 6D. The entire galleries are available at Canon 10D Gallery & Canon 6D Gallery.

If you're intending to carry your camera regularly, you'll have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 10D provides outside dimensions of 150mm x 107mm x 75mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 875 grams (1.93 lbs) while the Canon 6D has dimensions of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you are utilizing during that time. Here is a front view sizing comparison of the 10D against the 6D.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the contrast in sensor sizing purely by going through specs. The visual here may provide you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 10D and 6D.

As you can plainly see, each of these cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 10D featuring a smaller sensor will make getting shallow DOF harder and the Canon 6D will provide greater detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older 10D will be behind in sensor tech.
