The R6 was announced 2 years after the Fujifilm X-A5 which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon R6 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera and the Fujifilm X-A5 being a Rangefinder-style mirrorless camera.

Before going right into a step-by-step comparison, here is a short synopsis of how the R6 scores against the Fujifilm X-A5 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R6 & Fujifilm X-A5. The whole galleries are available at Canon R6 Gallery & Fujifilm X-A5 Gallery.

If you're looking to carry around your camera, you're going to have to think about its weight and volume.

Take into consideration, the weight of an ILC will change based on the lens you use at the time. The following is a front view proportions comparison of the R6 versus the Fujifilm X-A5.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the R6 and Fujifilm X-A5 is 61 and 86 respectively.

More often than not, it is very tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes simply by going through a spec sheet. The pic underneath should offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 and Fujifilm X-A5.

As you can see, both of those cameras come with different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R6 having a bigger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field easier and the Fujifilm X-A5 will produce greater detail with its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will let you crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The younger R6 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor technology.
