Canon M10 vs Canon M6

Here, we are reviewing the Canon M10 versus Canon M6, one being a Entry-Level Mirrorless and the other is a Advanced Mirrorless and both of them are designed by Canon. There exists a significant gap between the image resolutions of the M10 (18MP) and M6 (24MP) but both cameras have the identical sensor measurements (APS-C).

Before diving right into a more detailed comparison, here is a brief summation of how the M10 grades vs the M6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS M10 and Canon EOS M6. The full galleries are available at Canon M10 Gallery and Canon M6 Gallery.

For anybody who is planning to lug around your camera frequently, you'll need to take into account its weight and dimensions.

Typically, it is hard to visualize the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at specifications. The graphic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and M6.

To sum up, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon M6 to resolve more detail because of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The older M10 is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
