Canon 5D MII vs Canon 60Da

Let's take a more detailed look at the Canon 5D MII vs Canon 60Da, both Advanced DSLR cameras and both of them are created by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 5D MII (21MP) and the 60Da (18MP) is pretty close but the 5D MII (Full frame) and 60Da (APS-C) provide different sensor sizes.

The 5D MII was revealed 4 years before the 60Da and that is a fairly large difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving right into a thorough comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the 5D MII grades vs the 60Da when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5D Mark II & Canon EOS 60Da. The full galleries are available at Canon 5D MII Gallery & Canon 60Da Gallery.

If you are intending to lug around your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 5D MII features outer measurements of 152mm x 114mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.5" x 3.0") with a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs) whilst the Canon 60Da has proportions of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") and a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you choose at the time. The following is a front view dimension comparison of the 5D MII against the 60Da.

Taking into consideration size and weight, the portability score of the 5D MII and 60Da is 56 and 59 respectively.

In many cases, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor measurements simply by viewing specs. The graphic below should offer you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D MII and 60Da.

All in all, both cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 5D MII using its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon 5D MII will provide you with extra detail because of its extra 3 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots more aggressively. The older 5D MII will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
