Canon EOS R6 vs Sony a7C
The Canon EOS R6 and the Sony a7C side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.
Which to pick
Pick the Sony a7C if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (24.2 against 20.1 MP); more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 99); and a lighter body (509 g against 680 g). On these specs the Canon EOS R6 has no clear advantage: choose it if the price, the handling or a lens you own decides it. If you already own Canon RF or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
