The 50D was revealed 5 years earlier than the 6D which is a fairly significant difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short summation of how the 50D matches up vs the 6D in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 50D & Canon EOS 6D. The full galleries are available at Canon 50D Gallery & Canon 6D Gallery.

If you are looking to carry around your camera frequently, you should think about its weight and volume. The Canon 50D features outer measurements of 146mm x 108mm x 74mm (5.7" x 4.3" x 2.9") along with a weight of 822 grams (1.81 lbs) while the Canon 6D has sizing of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") along with a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you are utilising at that moment. Underneath is the front view overall size comparison of the 50D vs the 6D.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 50D and 6D is 57 and 59 respectively.

Quite often, it is tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizes just by going through specs. The picture here might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 50D and 6D.

As you can plainly see, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 50D having a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Canon 6D will provide greater detail because of its extra 5MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The more aged 50D will be behind in sensor tech.
