The R10 was introduced 9 years after the GF6 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of the cameras come with different body type with the Canon R10 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Panasonic GF6 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before we go through a more detailed comparison, below is a quick highlight of how the R10 matches up against the GF6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF6. The whole galleries are available at Canon R10 Gallery and Panasonic GF6 Gallery.

In case you're intending to travel with your camera frequently, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions.

Sometimes, it is hard to picture the gap in sensor dimensions simply by looking through specs. The picture here will offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the R10 and GF6.

As you can plainly see, each of the cameras have got different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The R10 using its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon R10 will provide you with greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images much more aggressively. The more recent R10 should have an advantage in sensor innovation.
