Canon 5D vs Canon 60Da

On this page, we will be matching up the Canon 5D vs Canon 60Da, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras and both of them are designed by Canon. There is a considerable difference between the sensor resolutions of the 5D (13MP) and 60Da (18MP) and the 5D (Full frame) and 60Da (APS-C) provide different sensor dimensions.

The 5D was released 7 years earlier than the 60Da which is quite a large difference as far as tech is concerned. Each of the cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the 5D matches up vs the 60Da in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5D & Canon EOS 60Da. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 5D Gallery & Canon 60Da Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to carry around your camera, you'll have to think about its weight and volume. The Canon 5D has outside measurements of 152mm x 113mm x 75mm (6.0" x 4.4" x 3.0") having a weight of 895 grams (1.97 lbs) whilst the Canon 60Da has sizing of 145mm x 106mm x 79mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.1") having a weight of 755 grams (1.66 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you use at the time. The following is a front view physical size comparison of the 5D against the 60Da.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the 5D and 60Da is 55 and 59 respectively.

Generally, it's tough to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes merely by checking specifications. The image below will provide you a much better sense of the sensor measurements in the 5D and 60Da.

To sum up, both of those cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 5D because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon 60Da will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 5 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The more aged 5D is going to be behind in sensor innovation.
