Canon 6D vs Canon 80D

Below is a in depth comparison of the Canon 6D and Canon 80D, both Advanced DSLR cameras and they are both manufactured by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 6D (20MP) and the 80D (24MP) is pretty comparable but the 6D (Full frame) and 80D (APS-C) possess totally different sensor dimensions.

The 6D was introduced 4 years prior to the 80D and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go in to a detailed comparison, below is a concise summation of how the 6D scores against the 80D with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS 80D. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery and Canon 80D Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D has got external measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) and the Canon 80D has dimensions of 139mm x 105mm x 79mm (5.5" x 4.1" x 3.1") and a weight of 730 grams (1.61 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are utilizing at the time. Underneath is the front view dimensions comparison of the 6D against the 80D.

Looking at size and weight, the portability rating of the 6D and 80D is 59 and 59 respectively.

Often, it is tough to envision the contrast in sensor measurements purely by checking out specifications. The visual underneath should give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and 80D.

Plainly, both of those cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D using its bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 80D will provide more detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a little more aggressively. The older 6D will be behind in sensor innovation.
