Canon M6 MII vs Panasonic GF1

Let's look a little more closely at the Canon M6 MII and Panasonic GF1, former being a Advanced Mirrorless while the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by competitors Canon and Panasonic. There exists a sizable gap between the sensor resolutions of the M6 MII (33MP) and GF1 (12MP) and the M6 MII (APS-C) and GF1 (Four Thirds) offer different sensor size.

The M6 MII was brought out 10 years later than the GF1 and that is quite a significant difference as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras feature the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go into a in depth comparison, here is a simple overview of how the M6 MII scores vs the GF1 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS M6 Mark II & Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1. The entire galleries are available at Canon M6 MII Gallery & Panasonic GF1 Gallery.

For anybody who is looking to lug around your camera, you should factor in its weight and volume. The Canon M6 MII enjoys outside dimensions of 120mm x 70mm x 49mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.9") and a weight of 408 grams (0.90 lbs) and the Panasonic GF1 has sizing of 119mm x 71mm x 36mm (4.7" x 2.8" x 1.4") along with a weight of 385 grams (0.85 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an ILC will differ depending on the lens you are utilizing at that time. Underneath is a front view measurement comparison of the M6 MII compared to the GF1.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the M6 MII and GF1 is 83 and 85 respectively.

More often than not, its hard to visualize the gap between sensor measurements only by reviewing a spec sheet. The photograph here will help offer you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 MII and GF1.

Clearly, both of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field easier and the Canon M6 MII will offer greater detail having its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more modern M6 MII should have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
