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.

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.
