Canon 6D vs Canon R5

Here, we will be looking at the Canon 6D versus Canon R5, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless and both of them are created by Canon. There exists a big gap among the image resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and R5 (45MP) but both cameras posses the identical sensor dimensions (Full frame).

The 6D was unveiled 8 years before the R5 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon R5 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting straight to a complete comparison, here is a simple highlight of how the 6D grades versus the R5 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS R5. The full galleries are provided at Canon 6D Gallery and Canon R5 Gallery.

For anyone who is planning to carry your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D enjoys outer dimensions of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") along with a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Canon R5 has dimensions of 138mm x 98mm x 88mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.5") with a weight of 738 grams (1.63 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you are employing at the time. Here is a front view measurement comparison of the 6D compared to the R5.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D and R5 is 59 and 59 respectively.

More often than not, it's hard to envision the gap in sensor sizing just by checking out technical specs. The visual underneath will help offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and R5.

As you can tell, the two cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon R5 to show more detail having an extra 25 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older 6D will be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
