Canon 600D vs Canon R6

Following is a in-depth review of the Canon 600D versus Canon R6, former is a Entry-Level DSLR while the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and both are created by Canon. The image resolution of the 600D (18MP) and the R6 (20MP) is pretty close but the 600D (APS-C) and R6 (Full frame) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

Photography Glossary

The 600D was announced 10 years earlier than the R6 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras feature different body design with the Canon 600D being a Compact SLR camera and the Canon R6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the 600D grades against the R6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will vary based on the lens you are employing during that time. Below is a front view physical size comparison of the 600D and the R6.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 600D and R6 is 66 and 61 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to visualise the contrast in sensor sizes only by researching technical specs. The pic below might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 600D and R6.

As you have seen, the two cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 600D having a smaller sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Canon R6 will result in extra detail with its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will help you crop pictures way more aggressively. The more aged 600D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
