Canon 7D MII vs Canon M6 MII

The following is a complete review of the Canon 7D MII versus Canon M6 MII, one is a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Advanced Mirrorless and both are designed by Canon. There exists a big gap between the image resolutions of the 7D MII (20MP) and M6 MII (33MP) but both cameras offer the same sensor sizing (APS-C).

The 7D MII was introduced 6 years earlier than the M6 MII which is quite a big gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras have different body design with the Canon 7D MII being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon M6 MII being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving into a complete comparison, here is a simple overview of how the 7D MII matches up vs the M6 MII with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 7D Mark II and Canon EOS M6 Mark II. The whole galleries are available at Canon 7D MII Gallery and Canon M6 MII Gallery.

For anyone who is looking to travel with your camera, you'll have to factor its weight and proportions. The Canon 7D MII has got physical measurements of 149mm x 112mm x 78mm (5.9" x 4.4" x 3.1") having a weight of 910 grams (2.01 lbs) whilst the Canon M6 MII has measurements of 120mm x 70mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.9") having a weight of 408 grams (0.90 lbs).

Take into consideration, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change dependant on the lens you are working with during that time. Here is a front view size comparison of the 7D MII vs the M6 MII.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability score of the 7D MII and M6 MII is 55 and 83 respectively.

Normally, it's difficult to imagine the contrast between sensor dimensions simply by checking specifications. The image here might give you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the 7D MII and M6 MII.

Plainly, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon M6 MII to resolve extra detail using its extra 13MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged 7D MII is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
