Canon EOS R6 Mark II vs Sony A7 IV
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- In-body stabilisation: the R6 II leads at 8 stops vs the A7 IV's 5.5 stops.
- Resolution (MP): the A7 IV leads at 33 vs the R6 II's 24.2.
- Burst — mechanical: the R6 II leads at 12 fps (mechanical shutter) vs the A7 IV's 10 fps (Hi+ continuous drive; shutter type not distinguished on spec page).
