Canon 5DS vs Canon T6

Below, we will be evaluating the Canon 5DS and Canon T6, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both sold by Canon. There is a huge difference among the sensor resolutions of the 5DS (51MP) and T6 (18MP) and the 5DS (Full frame) and T6 (APS-C) feature totally different sensor measurements.

The 5DS was introduced 13 months before the T6 which makes the cameras a generation away from each other. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 5DS being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon T6 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before delving through a thorough comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the 5DS matches up against the T6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 5DS and Canon EOS T6. The whole galleries are available at Canon 5DS Gallery and Canon T6 Gallery.

For those who are looking to travel with your camera often, you have to take into account its weight and volume. The Canon 5DS offers outer measurements of 152mm x 116mm x 76mm (6.0" x 4.6" x 3.0") and a weight of 930 grams (2.05 lbs) while the Canon T6 has sizing of 129mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.1" x 4.0" x 3.1") with a weight of 485 grams (1.07 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you are working with at that moment. Underneath is the front view physical size comparison of the 5DS versus the T6.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability grade of the 5DS and T6 is 55 and 68 respectively.

Usually, it is very tough to envision the gap in sensor dimensions only by seeing a spec sheet. The image here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 5DS and T6.

Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The 5DS using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon 5DS will show more detail using its extra 33MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5DS will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
