Size and weight are big decision factors when you are trying to find the ideal camera for your needs.
In this section, we are going to illustrate the Pentax K-70 and Canon M6 side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Pentax K-70 has external dimensions of 126 x 93 x 74 mm (4.94 x 3.66 x 2.91″) and weighs 688 g (1.52 lb / 24.27 oz) (including batteries). Canon M6 has external dimensions of 112 x 68 x 45 mm (4.41 x 2.68 x 1.77″) and weighs 390 g (0.86 lb / 13.76 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Pentax K-70 and the Canon M6. Canon M6 is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 14mm narrower, 25mm shorter and 29mm thinner than Pentax K-70.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Pentax K-70 and Canon M6.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Pentax K-70 and Canon M6.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon M6 is significantly lighter (298g ) than the Pentax K-70 which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Pentax K-70 and Canon M6 have the same APS-C sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the K-70 has a big advantage over the M6 which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Pentax K-70 and Canon M6's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Canon M6 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Pentax K-70 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
