Canon 6D vs Samsung GX-1L

The following is a extensive assessment of the Canon 6D vs Samsung GX-1L, both Advanced DSLR digital cameras by manufacturers Canon and Samsung. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and GX-1L (6MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and GX-1L (APS-C) come with different sensor dimensions.

The 6D was introduced 7 years after the GX-1L which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go in to a more detailed comparison, below is a concise summary of how the 6D grades against the GX-1L for portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS 6D and Samsung GX-1L. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 6D Gallery and Samsung GX-1L Gallery.

If you are intending to travel with your camera, you need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon 6D offers outside measurements of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") having a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) and the Samsung GX-1L has proportions of 125mm x 93mm x 66mm (4.9" x 3.7" x 2.6") along with a weight of 570 grams (1.26 lbs).

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the 6D and GX-1L is 59 and 69 respectively.

Sometimes, its hard to imagine the gap between sensor dimensions merely by reading through technical specs. The picture underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 6D and GX-1L.

As you can tell, each of the cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6D having a larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon 6D will resolve greater detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more modern 6D should have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
