Fujifilm S9900w vs Canon 6D Comparison Overview

Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Fujifilm S9900w, which was introduced in January 2015 is a Small Sensor Superzoom camera with a 16.0MP sensor whereas Canon 6D, which was introduced in February 2013 is a Advanced DSLR camera with a 20.0MP Full frame sensor. There is 23 months difference between S9900w and 6D so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger S9900w, especially in sensor tech.

Comparing a DSLR camera to a Fixed Lens camera is not an easy task but we will do our best to make this a fair comparison.

Here is a brief look at the main features of the Fujifilm S9900w and Canon 6D before getting into our more detailed comparison.

Fujifilm S9900w vs Canon 6D: Physical Specs and Body Features Comparison

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 Fujifilm S9900w and Canon 6D side-by-side from the front, back and top in their relative dimensions. Fujifilm S9900w has external dimensions of 123 x 87 x 116 mm (4.84 x 3.43 x 4.57″) and weighs 670 g (1.48 lb / 23.63 oz) (including batteries). 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).

Below you can see the front-view size comparison of the Fujifilm S9900w and the Canon 6D. Fujifilm S9900w is 22mm narrower and 24mm shorter than Canon 6D but it is also 45mm thicker. As you can tell, actually this is not a fair size comparison since Fujifilm S9900w has a built-in lens but Canon 6D doesn't. Once you put a lens on 6D, its thickness will increase significantly.

Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day. Fujifilm S9900w is 100g lighter than the Canon 6D 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

Thanks to the weather-sealed body of the 6D, you can use this camera with more confidence under conditions where there is risk of exposure to water and dust compared to the S9900w.

LCD Screen Size and Features

Fujifilm S9900w and Canon 6D's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.

Unfortunately, both cameras has fixed screens so they don't tilt or flip in directions.


Fujifilm S9900w vs Canon 6D: Sensor Comparison

Fujifilm S9900w has a 16.0MP (1/2. ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon 6D has a 20.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 5+ processor.

Below you can see the S9900w and 6D sensor size comparison.
