Canon 6D vs Fujifilm A100

On this page, we will be comparing the Canon 6D and Fujifilm A100, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Small Sensor Compact by manufacturers Canon and FujiFilm. There is a huge difference between the image resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and Fujifilm A100 (10MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and Fujifilm A100 (1/2.3") provide totally different sensor measurements.

The 6D was introduced 4 years after the Fujifilm A100 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm A100 being a Compact camera.

Before delving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a short introduction of how the 6D grades against the Fujifilm A100 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Fujifilm FinePix A100. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery and Fujifilm A100 Gallery.

For anyone who is going to travel with your camera often, you'll have to take into account its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D features outer measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") and a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) and the Fujifilm A100 has dimensions of 92mm x 61mm x 22mm (3.6" x 2.4" x 0.9") along with a weight of 124 grams (0.27 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you use during that time. Below is a front view dimensions comparison of the 6D compared to the Fujifilm A100.

Factoring in size and weight, the portability rating of the 6D and Fujifilm A100 is 59 and 95 respectively.

In many cases, it's hard to visualise the gap between sensor dimensions merely by going over technical specs. The image below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and Fujifilm A100.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6D having a bigger sensor will make shooting shallower DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D will offer more detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The fresher 6D will have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
