The 6D MII was brought out 2 years later than the M3 and that is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 6D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M3 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before delving straight into a full comparison, below is a short overview of how the 6D MII grades versus the M3 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Canon EOS M3. The entire galleries are available at Canon 6D MII Gallery and Canon M3 Gallery.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D MII and M3 is 59 and 85 respectively.

Quite often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizing merely by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath may provide you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D MII and M3.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6D MII featuring a larger sensor will make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon 6D MII will give more detail having its extra 2MP. Greater resolution can also enable you to crop pics somewhat more aggressively. The younger 6D MII will have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
