Canon 6D MII vs Nikon S6900

Let's look much closer at the Canon 6D MII and Nikon S6900, former being a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Ultracompact by competitors Canon and Nikon. There is a substantial difference among the sensor resolutions of the 6D MII (26MP) and S6900 (16MP) and the 6D MII (Full frame) and S6900 (1/2.3") come with different sensor sizing.

The 6D MII was revealed 2 years later than the S6900 and that is a fairly big difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 6D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Nikon S6900 being a Ultracompact camera.

Before diving straight into a full comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 6D MII scores against the S6900 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Often, it is very hard to picture the difference in sensor measurements just by checking out specs. The photograph here might give you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D MII and S6900.

All in all, the 2 cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D MII having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 6D MII will produce extra detail because of its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images much more aggressively. The younger 6D MII should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
