Canon 6D vs Nikon D200

On this page, we will be reviewing the Canon 6D versus Nikon D200, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by competitors Canon and Nikon. There exists a sizeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and D200 (10MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and D200 (APS-C) boast totally different sensor measurements.

The 6D was introduced 7 years after the D200 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before getting right into a complete comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the 6D matches up against the D200 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 6D and Nikon D200. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 6D Gallery and Nikon D200 Gallery.

If you are looking to carry around your camera often, you will need to think about its weight and dimensions. The Canon 6D comes with exterior measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") having a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) while the Nikon D200 has dimensions of 147mm x 113mm x 74mm (5.8" x 4.4" x 2.9") with a weight of 920 grams (2.03 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you use at the time. Below is a front view measurements comparison of the 6D compared to the D200.

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 6D and D200 is 59 and 55 respectively.

More often than not, it can be tough to visualise the contrast between sensor sizes only by looking at specs. The image underneath might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and D200.

All in all, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The 6D with its bigger sensor will make getting bokeh easier and the Canon 6D will give you extra detail using its extra 10 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more modern 6D will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
