Canon 6D vs Canon T6i

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 6D vs Canon T6i, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and both are offered by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 6D (20MP) and the T6i (24MP) is relatively close but the 6D (Full frame) and T6i (APS-C) offer totally different sensor size.

The 6D was unveiled 24 months before the T6i which makes them a generation apart from each other. Both the cameras have different body design with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon T6i being a Compact SLR camera.

Before diving into a detailed comparison, here is a brief summation of how the 6D matches up versus the T6i in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Canon EOS Rebel T6i. The full galleries are available at Canon 6D Gallery and Canon T6i Gallery.

If you are looking to lug around your camera regularly, you will want to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Usually, it is very difficult to envision the difference in sensor measurements just by viewing specifications. The graphic below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and T6i.

Plainly, both of those cameras have different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh less difficult and the Canon T6i will provide you with more detail having an extra 4MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The older 6D will be behind with regard to sensor tech.
