Canon 6D vs Canon RP

Let's examine more closely at the Canon 6D versus Canon RP, former is a Advanced DSLR while the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and they are both built by Canon. There exists a noticeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and RP (26MP) but they use the exact same sensor dimensions (Full frame).

The 6D was introduced 7 years earlier than the RP which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon RP being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving through a full comparison, below is a brief view of how the 6D matches up vs the RP when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D & Canon EOS RP. The whole galleries are available at Canon 6D Gallery & Canon RP Gallery.

In case you're planning to carry around your camera, you will have to take into account its weight and volume.

Sometimes, it can be tough to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by going over specs. The pic underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and RP.

All in all, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You can expect to see the Canon RP to deliver more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 6D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
