Canon 600D vs Canon 6D

Below is a detailed review of the Canon 600D vs Canon 6D, one being a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Advanced DSLR and both are created by Canon. The image resolution of the 600D (18MP) and the 6D (20MP) is pretty close but the 600D (APS-C) and 6D (Full frame) provide different sensor measurements.

The 600D was brought out 22 months earlier than the 6D which makes them a generation apart from each other. Each of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 600D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera.

Before we go into a detailed comparison, here is a concise synopsis of how the 600D matches up versus the 6D with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 600D and Canon EOS 6D. The entire galleries are provided at Canon 600D Gallery and Canon 6D Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera regularly, you should factor in its weight and volume. The Canon 600D offers outside dimensions of 133mm x 100mm x 80mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.1") and a weight of 570 grams (1.26 lbs) whilst the Canon 6D has sizing of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen during that time. Following is a front view proportions comparison of the 600D against the 6D.

Oftentimes, its tough to picture the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through specifications. The visual below should give you a stronger sense of the sensor dimensions in the 600D and 6D.

Plainly, both of the cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 600D featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field harder and the Canon 6D will render more detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older 600D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
