Canon R vs Panasonic G6

Its time to look a little more in depth at the Canon R vs Panasonic G6, one is a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Entry-Level Mirrorless by rivals Canon and Panasonic. There exists a huge gap among the sensor resolutions of the R (30MP) and G6 (16MP) and the R (Full frame) and G6 (Four Thirds) provide totally different sensor dimensions.

The R was announced 5 years after the G6 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a quick view of how the R scores versus the G6 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Below is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R and Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6. The whole galleries are available at Canon R Gallery and Panasonic G6 Gallery.

If you are aiming to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to take into account its weight and measurements. The Canon R offers physical measurements of 136mm x 98mm x 84mm (5.4" x 3.9" x 3.3") along with a weight of 660 grams (1.46 lbs) and the Panasonic G6 has proportions of 122mm x 85mm x 71mm (4.8" x 3.3" x 2.8") and a weight of 390 grams (0.86 lbs).

Bear in mind, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. The following is a front view measurement comparison of the R against the G6.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the R and G6 is 62 and 74 respectively.

Quite often, it's difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions purely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic underneath will give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the R and G6.

Clearly, the two cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R with its larger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R will produce extra detail with its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a bit more aggressively. The more recent R is going to have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
