Canon 6D MII vs Epson R-D1

Below is a in-depth analysis of the Canon 6D MII versus Epson R-D1, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless by companies Canon and Epson. There exists a big gap among the sensor resolutions of the 6D MII (26MP) and R-D1 (6MP) and the 6D MII (Full frame) and R-D1 (APS-C) have totally different sensor dimensions.

The 6D MII was revealed 13 years later than the R-D1 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 6D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Epson R-D1 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a simple view of how the 6D MII grades versus the R-D1 with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera often, you have to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon 6D MII offers outside dimensions of 144mm x 111mm x 75mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.0") along with a weight of 765 grams (1.69 lbs) while the Epson R-D1 has measurements of 142mm x 89mm x 40mm (5.6" x 3.5" x 1.6") with a weight of 620 grams (1.37 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have attached at that moment. Below is a front view size comparison of the 6D MII vs the R-D1.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 6D MII and R-D1 is 59 and 75 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor measurements only by researching specifications. The visual below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D MII and R-D1.

Plainly, both cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 6D MII using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D MII will result in greater detail because of its extra 20 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop photographs more aggressively. The more recent 6D MII is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
