Canon 6D MII vs Konica Minolta 5D

Below is a in-depth comparison of the Canon 6D MII vs Konica Minolta 5D, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by companies Canon and Konica. There exists a sizable gap between the resolutions of the 6D MII (26MP) and Minolta 5D (6MP) and the 6D MII (Full frame) and Minolta 5D (APS-C) come with totally different sensor measurements.

The 6D MII was unveiled 12 years later than the Minolta 5D and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving through a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick overview of how the 6D MII matches up against the Minolta 5D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D Mark II & Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D. The full galleries are provided at Canon 6D MII Gallery & Konica Minolta 5D Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera, you will want to think about its weight and size. The Canon 6D MII comes with outer dimensions of 144mm x 111mm x 75mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.0") accompanied by a weight of 765 grams (1.69 lbs) and the Konica Minolta 5D has specifications of 131mm x 93mm x 67mm (5.2" x 3.7" x 2.6") accompanied by a weight of 670 grams (1.48 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an ILC will change depending on the lens you choose at that moment. The following is the front view proportions comparison of the 6D MII and the Minolta 5D.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 6D MII and Minolta 5D is 59 and 64 respectively.

Sometimes, it is very hard to envision the gap between sensor measurements only by reading through specs. The graphic below will provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D MII and Minolta 5D.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The 6D MII having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D MII will give extra detail having an extra 20 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more modern 6D MII is going to have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
