Canon 6D vs Samsung GX-1S

Let's take a deeper look at the Canon 6D versus Samsung GX-1S, both Advanced DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Samsung. There exists a huge gap among the resolutions of the 6D (20MP) and GX-1S (6MP) and the 6D (Full frame) and GX-1S (APS-C) provide different sensor size.

The 6D was released 7 years later than the GX-1S and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go into a thorough comparison, here is a brief introduction of how the 6D grades vs the GX-1S with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 6D and Samsung GX-1S. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon 6D Gallery and Samsung GX-1S Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to carry your camera, you will want to factor in its weight and measurements. The Canon 6D has got outside dimensions of 145mm x 111mm x 71mm (5.7" x 4.4" x 2.8") and a weight of 770 grams (1.70 lbs) whilst the Samsung GX-1S has proportions of 125mm x 93mm x 66mm (4.9" x 3.7" x 2.6") and a weight of 605 grams (1.33 lbs).

Keep in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you have chosen at the time. Below is a front view over all size comparison of the 6D versus the GX-1S.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 6D and GX-1S is 59 and 68 respectively.

More often than not, it can be hard to imagine the contrast in sensor sizing just by going through technical specs. The visual below might offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and GX-1S.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The 6D because of its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF simpler and the Canon 6D will provide extra detail as a result of its extra 14MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more modern 6D should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
