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 Canon 6D and Panasonic FZ1000 II side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. 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). Panasonic FZ1000 II has external dimensions of 136 x 97 x 132 mm (5.35 x 3.82 x 5.2″) and weighs 808 g (1.78 lb / 28.50 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 6D and the Panasonic FZ1000 II. Panasonic FZ1000 II is 9mm narrower and 14mm shorter than Canon 6D but it is also 61mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Panasonic FZ1000 II has a built-in lens but Canon 6D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 6D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 6D and Panasonic FZ1000 II.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 6D and Panasonic FZ1000 II.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon 6D is 38g lighter than the Panasonic FZ1000 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Again, this comparison may not be very useful in real life as we are comparing the weight of a camera with a built-in lens to the body-only weight of an interchangeable lens camera. Once you put a lens on 6D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 6D has a big advantage over the FZ1000 II which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 6D and Panasonic FZ1000 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
On the other hand, Panasonic FZ1000 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which you can change the angle and position of the screen almost freely, making it possible to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels, and especially very useful for shooting selfies and video. Canon 6D's LCD screen is a fixed type which provides almost no flexibility in shooting positions compared to FZ1000 II.
