Canon 6D MII vs Canon 760D

Let's take a closer look at the Canon 6D MII and Canon 760D, former being a Advanced DSLR while the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both offered by Canon. The resolution of the 6D MII (26MP) and the 760D (24MP) is pretty similar but the 6D MII (Full frame) and 760D (APS-C) feature different sensor dimensions.

The 6D MII was revealed 2 years later than the 760D and that is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 6D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon 760D being a Compact SLR camera.

Before getting through a in-depth comparison, below is a concise summary of how the 6D MII scores vs the 760D in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

More often than not, it is very hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements purely by reading a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D MII and 760D.

As you can see, the two cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D MII having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon 6D MII will offer greater detail because of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The younger 6D MII provides a benefit in sensor technology.
