Canon R vs Canon T6

Its time to look more closely at the Canon R and Canon T6, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both sold by Canon. There is a big difference among the sensor resolutions of the R (30MP) and T6 (18MP) and the R (Full frame) and T6 (APS-C) use different sensor sizes.

The R was released 2 years later than the T6 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon R being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Canon T6 being a Compact SLR camera.

Before we go in to a full comparison, below is a short view of how the R matches up vs the T6 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS R and Canon EOS T6. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon R Gallery and Canon T6 Gallery.

If you're planning to lug around your camera often, you are going to need to factor in its weight and dimensions.

Oftentimes, it's difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements purely by going through specifications. The graphic here should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the R and T6.

To sum up, the 2 cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The R due to its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF simpler and the Canon R will produce extra detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop photographs much more aggressively. The more modern R should have a benefit in sensor technology.
