Canon 1D MII N vs Panasonic FH6

Let's take a more detailed look at the Canon 1D MII N vs Panasonic FH6, one is a Pro DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by rivals Canon and Panasonic. There is a crucial difference among the resolutions of the 1D MII N (8MP) and FH6 (14MP) and the 1D MII N (APS-H) and FH6 (1/2.3") use different sensor measurements.

The 1D MII N was launched 7 years before the FH6 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 1D MII N being a Large SLR camera and the Panasonic FH6 being a Compact camera.

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 1D MII N grades against the FH6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS-1D Mark II N and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FH6. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 1D MII N Gallery and Panasonic FH6 Gallery.

If you're aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 1D MII N comes with physical measurements of 156mm x 158mm x 80mm (6.1" x 6.2" x 3.1") along with a weight of 1565 grams (3.45 lbs) and the Panasonic FH6 has dimensions of 96mm x 56mm x 20mm (3.8" x 2.2" x 0.8") accompanied by a weight of 119 grams (0.26 lbs).

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the 1D MII N and FH6 is 50 and 96 respectively.

Generally, its difficult to visualize the gap in sensor dimensions purely by going through technical specs. The pic below will give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 1D MII N and FH6.

As you have seen, each of the cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 1D MII N featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh less difficult and the Panasonic FH6 will provide more detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures far more aggressively. The more aged 1D MII N will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
