Canon 6D vs Canon SX530 HS

In this article, we will be looking at the Canon 6D vs Canon SX530 HS, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are produced by Canon. There is a huge difference among the resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and SX530 HS (16MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and SX530 HS (1/2.3") possess different sensor measurements.

The 6D was released 23 months earlier than the SX530 HS which makes the cameras a generation apart from each other. Both of the cameras offer different body type with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX530 HS being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before going through a comprehensive comparison, below is a short view of how the 6D scores versus the SX530 HS with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Canon PowerShot SX530 HS. The complete galleries are available at Canon 6D Gallery and Canon SX530 HS Gallery.

For those who are going to lug around your camera regularly, you will need to factor in its weight and volume.

In many cases, it can be hard to imagine the difference in sensor measurements purely by looking through a spec sheet. The graphic underneath should offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and SX530 HS.

Clearly, both the cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The 6D because of its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Canon 6D will provide you with extra detail as a result of its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs far more aggressively. The older 6D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
