Canon T6i vs Leica SL2

Following is a in-depth analysis of the Canon T6i and Leica SL2, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the latter is a Pro Mirrorless by brands Canon and Leica. There exists a sizeable gap between the sensor resolutions of the T6i (24MP) and SL2 (47MP) and the T6i (APS-C) and SL2 (Full frame) boast totally different sensor size.

The T6i was manufactured 5 years before the SL2 which is quite a large gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have different body design with the Canon T6i being a Compact SLR camera and the Leica SL2 being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before diving straight to a in-depth comparison, here is a short summary of how the T6i grades against the SL2 for portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS Rebel T6i and Leica SL2. The entire galleries are available at Canon T6i Gallery and Leica SL2 Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera often, you'll have to consider its weight and measurements. The Canon T6i features outside measurements of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") with a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs) and the Leica SL2 has proportions of 146mm x 107mm x 83mm (5.7" x 4.2" x 3.3") along with a weight of 835 grams (1.84 lbs).

Taking into account dimensions and weight, the portability score of the T6i and SL2 is 66 and 57 respectively.

More often than not, it is difficult to envision the difference between sensor sizes merely by checking technical specs. The pic underneath will offer you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the T6i and SL2.

As you can tell, both of those cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The T6i featuring a tinier sensor will make shooting shallow DOF more challenging and the Leica SL2 will resolve more detail due to its extra 23MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop shots more aggressively. The more aged T6i is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor innovation.
