Canon 6D vs Canon SL2

Below is a extended overview of the Canon 6D vs Canon SL2, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and both are built by Canon. The image resolution of the 6D (20MP) and the SL2 (24MP) is very comparable but the 6D (Full frame) and SL2 (APS-C) posses totally different sensor sizing.

The 6D was introduced 5 years prior to the SL2 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras feature different body design with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SL2 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go right into a complete comparison, here is a quick synopsis of how the 6D scores versus the SL2 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS Rebel SL2. The whole galleries are available at Canon 6D Gallery and Canon SL2 Gallery.

If you're intending to lug around your camera regularly, you're going to have to think about its weight and size. The Canon 6D has got exterior measurements 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 SL2 has specifications of 122mm x 93mm x 70mm (4.8" x 3.7" x 2.8") having a weight of 453 grams (1.00 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you have chosen at that moment. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the 6D against the SL2.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D and SL2 is 59 and 71 respectively.

More often than not, it's difficult to envision the contrast in sensor measurements only by checking out technical specs. The graphic here should give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D and SL2.

As you have seen, both of these cameras feature different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D with its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon SL2 will produce extra detail using its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older 6D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
