Canon R6 II vs Pentax WG-1 GPS

Below is a detailed assessment of the Canon R6 II and Pentax WG-1 GPS, one being a Pro Mirrorless and the other is a Waterproof by manufacturers Canon and Pentax. There is a huge difference among the image resolutions of the R6 II (24MP) and WG-1 GPS (14MP) and the R6 II (Full frame) and WG-1 GPS (1/2.3") posses different sensor sizing.

The R6 II was brought out 11 years later than the WG-1 GPS and that is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Both of these cameras feature different body design with the Canon R6 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Pentax WG-1 GPS being a Compact camera.

Before we go straight to a more detailed comparison, here is a brief synopsis of how the R6 II matches up against the WG-1 GPS in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS. The entire galleries are provided at Canon R6 II Gallery and Pentax WG-1 GPS Gallery.

In case you're planning to lug around your camera, you should take into account its weight and proportions.

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you use at that time. Underneath is a front view size comparison of the R6 II and the WG-1 GPS.

Taking into account size and weight, the portability rating of the R6 II and WG-1 GPS is 61 and 93 respectively.

Usually, it is very difficult to imagine the gap in sensor measurements simply by viewing specifications. The photograph below should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 II and WG-1 GPS.

Plainly, each of the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor measurements. The R6 II due to its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon R6 II will render more detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop images a good deal more aggressively. The more recent R6 II provides a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
