The 6D was introduced 5 years after the GX-20 which is a fairly serious difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Mid-size SLR).

Before we go through a full comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the 6D matches up versus the GX-20 in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 6D & Samsung GX-20. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 6D Gallery & Samsung GX-20 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you will need to factor in its weight and size.

Quite often, it's tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions merely by looking through technical specs. The picture here should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D and GX-20.

As you have seen, both cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 6D having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallow DOF easier and the Canon 6D will provide you with more detail using its extra 5MP. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively. The younger 6D should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
