The 6D was launched 8 years after the Minolta 7D which is quite a sizable difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before diving through a complete comparison, below is a concise summation of how the 6D grades versus the Minolta 7D when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D & Konica Minolta Maxxum 7D. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery & Konica Minolta 7D Gallery.

For those who are looking to carry around your camera often, you'll need to consider its weight and proportions. The Canon 6D provides outside 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 Konica Minolta 7D has measurements of 150mm x 106mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.2" x 3.1") accompanied by a weight of 845 grams (1.86 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an ILC will differ based on the lens you use at that moment. The following is the front view overall size comparison of the 6D versus the Minolta 7D.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 6D and Minolta 7D is 59 and 57 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor sizes merely by going over a spec sheet. The pic below will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D and Minolta 7D.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6D featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon 6D will deliver more detail utilizing its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop shots far more aggressively. The younger 6D should have a benefit in sensor tech.
