The 1D C was revealed 8 years prior to the D6 which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras feature the same body design (Large SLR).

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a concise summation of how the 1D C scores versus the D6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS-1D C and Nikon D6. The full galleries are available at Canon 1D C Gallery and Nikon D6 Gallery.

When you are planning to travel with your camera frequently, you're going to have to consider its weight and dimensions.

Sometimes, its difficult to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading specifications. The picture underneath might offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 1D C and D6.

Plainly, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Nikon D6 to offer you extra detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more aged 1D C is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
