Canon 30D vs Canon 6D MII Sensor Comparison
Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the contrast between sensor sizing merely by going over a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 30D and 6D MII.
Clearly, each of these cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 30D due to its tinier sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF trickier and the Canon 6D MII will offer you extra detail due to its extra 18 Megapixels. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos way more aggressively. The older 30D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
