Canon 60D vs Canon 6D MII Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The visual here will help offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the 60D and 6D MII.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The 60D due to its smaller sensor is going to make getting bokeh tougher and the Canon 6D MII will provide you with more detail having its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop photos a good deal more aggressively. The older 60D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
