Canon 5D MII vs Canon 700D

Here, we are reviewing the Canon 5D MII versus Canon 700D, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both manufactured by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 5D MII (21MP) and the 700D (18MP) is very close but the 5D MII (Full frame) and 700D (APS-C) have totally different sensor measurements.

The 5D MII was manufactured 5 years before the 700D and that is a fairly large gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 5D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon 700D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before diving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the 5D MII scores vs the 700D with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anybody who is intending to lug around your camera frequently, you have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon 5D MII features external measurements of 152mm x 114mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.5" x 3.0") along with a weight of 850 grams (1.87 lbs) whilst the Canon 700D has sizing of 133mm x 100mm x 79mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.1") and a weight of 580 grams (1.28 lbs).

Remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have at that time. Here is a front view over all size comparison of the 5D MII versus the 700D.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 5D MII and 700D is 56 and 65 respectively.

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by viewing technical specs. The photograph below should give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 5D MII and 700D.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 5D MII featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 5D MII will render greater detail due to its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will let you crop images way more aggressively. The older 5D MII will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
