Canon 6D MII vs Pentax K-3 II

The following is a extensive analysis of the Canon 6D MII versus Pentax K-3 II, both Advanced DSLR cameras by rivals Canon and Pentax. The image resolution of the 6D MII (26MP) and the K-3 II (24MP) is relatively close but the 6D MII (Full frame) and K-3 II (APS-C) use different sensor size.

The 6D MII was brought out 2 years after the K-3 II which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before going straight into a thorough comparison, below is a quick view of how the 6D MII grades vs the K-3 II in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D Mark II and Pentax K-3 II. The entire galleries are available at Canon 6D MII Gallery and Pentax K-3 II Gallery.

In case you're going to travel with your camera often, you should factor its weight and size. The Canon 6D MII has outer measurements of 144mm x 111mm x 75mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 3.0") with a weight of 765 grams (1.69 lbs) while the Pentax K-3 II has specifications of 131mm x 100mm x 77mm (5.2" x 3.9" x 3.0") along with a weight of 800 grams (1.76 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising at that time. The following is the front view physical size comparison of the 6D MII vs the K-3 II.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 6D MII and K-3 II is 59 and 59 respectively.

Typically, its hard to imagine the gap in sensor dimensions merely by researching specifications. The picture underneath may provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D MII and K-3 II.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6D MII due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon 6D MII will render more detail having its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots far more aggressively. The more recent 6D MII should have an edge in sensor technology.
