Cheap alternatives
Design
1.weather-sealed (splashproof)
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The device is protected with extra seals to prevent failures caused by dust, raindrops, and water splashes.
2.weight
810g
770g
We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
3.viewfinder coverage
98%
97%
With 100% coverage, you can compose the image correctly when you capture the photo. With less than full coverage, you may have to crop your photos afterward to get them looking perfect.
4.is dustproof and water-resistant
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The device is dustproof and water-resistant. Water-resistant devices can resist the penetration of water, such as powerful water jets, but not being submerged into water.
5.has an optical viewfinder
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
An optical viewfinder (or OVF) allows the photographer to compose a shot while seeing exactly what the lens will capture. OVFs have no time lag and require no power - as opposed to electronic viewfinders, which can drain battery life. OVFs are also better in low light situations.
6.Has a hot shoe
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
A hot shoe can be used to attach an external flash, as well as light meters, viewfinders, rangefinders and other attachments.
Optics
1.sensor size
24 x 36mm
36 x 24mm
The larger the sensor the more light the sensor captures yielding in better image quality.
2.focus points
9
11
The more focus points the more flexibility in picking which part of the scene to focus on. They also give the image sensor a better probability in identifying the right area of the scene to focus on in more automatic modes.
3.megapixels (main camera)
21.1MP
20.2MP
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the main camera. A higher megapixel count means that the camera is capable of capturing more details. However, the megapixel count is not the only important element determining the quality of an image.
4.maximum light sensitivity
25600 ISO
102400 ISO
With a higher light sensitivity (ISO level), the sensor absorbs more light. This can be used to capture moving objects using a fast shutter speed, or to take images in low light without using a flash.
5.continuous shooting at high resolution
3.9fps
4.5fps
Fast continuous shooting is useful for catching action shots.
6.has AF tracking
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.
Videography
1.video recording (main camera)
1080 x 30fps
1080 x 30fps
The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.
2.Has phase-detection autofocus for videos
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
A phase-detection autofocus system is faster than a contrast detection autofocus system. Even when recording scenes with a lot of fast movements, the videos are sharp and clear.
3.has continuous autofocus when recording movies
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
When recording movies they stay focussed and sharp.
4.has a 24p cinema mode
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.
Audio
1.has a stereo microphone
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
A stereo microphone allows to record audio files or movies in stereo without an external microphone.
2.has a microphone input
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
A microphone port allows connecting external high-end or specialized microphones.
3.number of microphones
2
1
More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.
Battery
1.Battery life (CIPA)
850shots
1090shots
CIPA is an independent, standard measurement that determines how many shots a camera can take before the battery dies.
2.has a removable battery
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.
3.has a rechargeable battery
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The battery can be recharged and used over again.
4.has a battery level indicator
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.
5.battery power
1800mAh
1800mAh
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Features
1.supports Wi-Fi
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The device can connect to Wi-Fi.
2.color depth
23.7bits
23.8bits
The better a device's color depth the more color nuances it can distinguish. Source: DxOMark.
3.Has a remote control
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
A remote control allows you to control the device remotely. The remote control can be included or optional.
4.dynamic range
11.9Evs
12.1Evs
The better the dynamic range the system captures a wider number of values from dark to light leading to more details in low and highlights. Source: DxOMark.
5.has an external memory slot
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Canon EOS 6D
The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) that enables you to extend the built-in internal storage with affordable memory modules, or easily retrieve data, such as photographs, from the memory card.
