Canon 6D vs Canon M10 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it is very difficult to visualize the difference between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture here might offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and M10.

All in all, both of those cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make getting bokeh simpler and the Canon 6D will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 6D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
