Canon 6D MII vs Pentax K-1 II

Following is a thorough review of the Canon 6D MII versus Pentax K-1 II, both Advanced DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Pentax. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the 6D MII (26MP) and K-1 II (36MP) but they use the exact same sensor dimensions (Full frame).

The 6D MII was revealed 7 months prior to the K-1 II which means that they are of a similar generation. Each of the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting in to a in-depth comparison, below is a brief view of how the 6D MII scores against the K-1 II in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Pentax K-1 Mark II. The full galleries are provided at Canon 6D MII Gallery and Pentax K-1 II Gallery.

When you are going to carry around your camera, you will have to factor its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D MII enjoys external dimensions of 144mm x 111mm x 75mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.0") having a weight of 765 grams (1.69 lbs) and the Pentax K-1 II has dimensions of 137mm x 110mm x 86mm (5.4" x 4.3" x 3.4") and a weight of 1010 grams (2.23 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary based on the lens you have at the time. Below is the front view sizing comparison of the 6D MII and the K-1 II.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D MII and K-1 II is 59 and 55 respectively.

Sometimes, it is difficult to envision the contrast in sensor sizes purely by going through specifications. The pic here should give you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D MII and K-1 II.

Plainly, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Pentax K-1 II to provide greater detail because of its extra 10MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged 6D MII will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
