Canon 5D MII vs Canon 6D: Physical Specs and Body features Comparison

Size and weight is a big decision factor when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs. In this section, We are going to illustrate Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 5D MII has external dimensions of 152 x 114 x 75 mm (5.98 x 4.49 x 2.95″) and weighs 850 g (1.87 lb / 29.98 oz) (including batteries). Canon 6D has external dimensions of 145 x 111 x 71 mm (5.71 x 4.37 x 2.8″) and weighs 770 g (1.70 lb / 27.16 oz) (including batteries).

Below you can see the front view size comparison of Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D. Canon 6D is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 7mm narrower, 3mm shorter and 4mm thinner than Canon 5D MII.

Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Canon 6D is 80g lighter than the Canon 5D MII but we don't think this will make a significant difference.

Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you have to also take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D have the same Canon EF lens mount and Full frame sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.

Weather Sealing

Both 5D MII and 6D have weather sealings in their body, making them resistant to water and dust.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D's LCD screens has the same diagonal size of 3.00".

Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.

Canon 5D MII vs Canon 6D: Sensor Comparison

Canon 5D MII has a 21.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4 processor. On the other hand, Canon 6D has a 20.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5+ processor.

Below you can see the 5D MII and 6D sensor size comparison.

Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D Cameras

Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture.

DxOMark Sensor Scores

DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that 6D has a better overall score of 82, 3 points higher compared to 5D MII's score of 79.

Canon 5D MII vs Canon 6D Comparison of Available Lenses

Number of available lenses is a big decision factor while choosing your interchangeable lens camera. In this case, both Canon 5D MII and Canon 6D have the same Canon EF lens mount so have 257 native lenses available. All of these lenses cover Full frame sensor.

Another important factor is the availability of image stabilization. None of these bodies have sensor based image stabilization so you have to buy lenses with Optical stabilization feature. Currently there are 77 lenses with Image stabilization for Canon EF mount.
