Canon 6D vs Panasonic L10

Let's look more closely at the Canon 6D vs Panasonic L10, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There is a large difference among the resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and L10 (10MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and L10 (Four Thirds) boast totally different sensor measurements.

The 6D was brought out 5 years later than the L10 and that is a fairly serious difference as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before delving right into a comprehensive comparison, here is a brief view of how the 6D matches up vs the L10 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D & Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10. The entire galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery & Panasonic L10 Gallery.

For those who are going to carry your camera frequently, you will want to take into account its weight and size. The Canon 6D provides external measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") accompanied by a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Panasonic L10 has specifications of 135mm x 96mm x 78mm (5.3" x 3.8" x 3.1") with a weight of 556 grams (1.23 lbs).

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will vary dependant on the lens you have attached at the time. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the 6D versus the L10.

Using size and weight, the portability score of the 6D and L10 is 59 and 66 respectively.

Often, its difficult to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by going through specifications. The photograph here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D and L10.

Plainly, both of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 6D because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D will provide extra detail having its extra 10MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent 6D will have an advantage in sensor innovation.
