Canon M10 vs Panasonic GF6

Below, we will be evaluating the Canon M10 vs Panasonic GF6, both Entry-Level Mirrorless digital cameras by rivals Canon and Panasonic. The image resolution of the M10 (18MP) and the GF6 (16MP) is relatively well matched but the M10 (APS-C) and GF6 (Four Thirds) enjoy different sensor measurements.

The M10 was introduced 2 years later than the GF6 and that is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras come with the identical body type (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving in to a more detailed comparison, below is a short view of how the M10 scores vs the GF6 with respect to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS M10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6. The whole galleries are viewable at Canon M10 Gallery and Panasonic GF6 Gallery.

In case you're aiming to lug around your camera, you will have to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon M10 offers external measurements of 108mm x 67mm x 35mm (4.3" x 2.6" x 1.4") with a weight of 301 grams (0.66 lbs) whilst the Panasonic GF6 has proportions of 111mm x 65mm x 38mm (4.4" x 2.6" x 1.5") and a weight of 323 grams (0.71 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you are utilising during that time. Below is the front view measurement comparison of the M10 against the GF6.

Looking at dimensions and weight, the portability score of the M10 and GF6 is 88 and 87 respectively.

Normally, its difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor measurements just by checking specifications. The graphic below should give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the M10 and GF6.

To sum up, both of those cameras posses different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M10 using its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon M10 will resolve greater detail using its extra 2MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The fresher M10 provides an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
