Canon 6D vs Canon SX730 HS

Here, we will be contrasting the Canon 6D and Canon SX730 HS, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Superzoom and both are produced by Canon. The image resolution of the 6D (20MP) and the SX730 HS (20.3MP) is relatively well matched but the 6D (Full frame) and SX730 HS (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor sizes.

The 6D was announced 5 years earlier than the SX730 HS and that is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon SX730 HS being a Compact camera.

Before going straight to a detailed comparison, here is a simple summation of how the 6D matches up versus the SX730 HS for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change depending on the lens you select at that moment. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the 6D versus the SX730 HS.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D and SX730 HS is 59 and 88 respectively.

More often than not, it's tough to envision the gap between sensor sizing merely by reading through technical specs. The visual below may provide you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D and SX730 HS.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The 6D with its bigger sensor will make getting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon SX730 HS will give extra detail with its extra 0.3 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 6D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
