Canon T6i vs Pentax K-r

Here, we are reviewing the Canon T6i vs Pentax K-r, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras by competitors Canon and Pentax. There exists a crucial gap among the image resolutions of the T6i (24MP) and K-r (12MP) but both cameras boast the identical sensor sizing (APS-C).

The T6i was introduced 3 years after the K-r which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both the cameras feature the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before getting right into a full comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the T6i matches up versus the K-r with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS Rebel T6i and Pentax K-r. The whole galleries are available at Canon T6i Gallery and Pentax K-r Gallery.

If you are aiming to travel with your camera regularly, you'll have to consider its weight and volume. The Canon T6i has got external measurements of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") and a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs) while the Pentax K-r has sizing of 125mm x 97mm x 68mm (4.9" x 3.8" x 2.7") with a weight of 598 grams (1.32 lbs).

More often than not, it is very tough to visualize the difference in sensor dimensions simply by seeing specifications. The image underneath will provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the T6i and K-r.

To sum up, the two cameras feature the identical sensor size but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon T6i to produce greater detail using its extra 12 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos way more aggressively. The fresher T6i should have a benefit in sensor tech.
