Canon M6 MII vs Nikon 1 V1

Let's take a more detailed look at the Canon M6 MII versus Nikon 1 V1, one being a Advanced Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by manufacturers Canon and Nikon. There exists a crucial gap among the sensor resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and 1 V1 (10MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and 1 V1 (1") provide totally different sensor size.

The M6 MII was introduced 7 years later than the 1 V1 and that is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a step-by-step comparison, here is a brief overview of how the M6 MII scores vs the 1 V1 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Typically, it is hard to visualise the difference in sensor sizing only by looking through technical specs. The photograph here should offer you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the M6 MII and 1 V1.

As you have seen, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The M6 MII having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon M6 MII will result in greater detail using its extra 23MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop pictures way more aggressively. The more modern M6 MII will have an edge with regard to sensor technology.
