Canon 7D vs Canon T6

Below is a in-depth assessment of the Canon 7D versus Canon T6, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Entry-Level DSLR and both of them are sold by Canon. The sensor resolution of the 7D (18MP) and the T6 (18MP) is fairly well matched and they come with the exact same sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The 7D was unveiled 7 years before the T6 and that is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon 7D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon T6 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before getting in to a in depth comparison, below is a quick introduction of how the 7D matches up versus the T6 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 7D and Canon EOS T6. The full galleries are available at Canon 7D Gallery and Canon T6 Gallery.

If you're aiming to lug around your camera frequently, you will have to take into account its weight and size.

More often than not, it is very tough to see the gap between sensor measurements simply by looking at technical specs. The visual underneath should offer you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the 7D and T6.

As you can tell, both of these cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements and the same resolution and you should expect similar quality of pictures although you need to take the production date of the products into consideration. The older 7D is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
