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 80D and Sony RX100 VI side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Canon 80D has external dimensions of 139 x 105 x 79 mm (5.47 x 4.13 x 3.11″) and weighs 730 g (1.61 lb / 25.75 oz) (including batteries). Sony RX100 VI has external dimensions of 102 x 58 x 43 mm (4.02 x 2.28 x 1.69″) and weighs 301 g (0.66 lb / 10.62 oz) (including batteries).
Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Canon 80D and the Sony RX100 VI. Sony RX100 VI is clearly the smaller of the two cameras. Its body is 37mm narrower, 47mm shorter and 36mm thinner than Canon 80D. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Sony RX100 VI has a built-in lens but Canon 80D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 80D, its thickness will increase significantly.
Here is the back view size comparison of the Canon 80D and Sony RX100 VI.
Now lets look at the top view comparison of Canon 80D and Sony RX100 VI.
Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony RX100 VI is significantly lighter (429g ) than the Canon 80D which may become a big advantage especially on long walking trips.
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 80D, the total kit will weigh much higher.
Weather Sealing
With its weather-sealed body, we believe that the 80D has a big advantage over the RX100 VI which doesn't provide any kind of environmental sealing.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon 80D and Sony RX100 VI's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony RX100 VI features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon 80D sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
