Here we are comparing two cameras with different body types: Nikon D6, which was introduced in February 2020 is a Pro DSLR camera with a 21.0MP Full frame sensor whereas Canon R3, which was introduced in September 2021 is a Pro Mirrorless camera with a 24.0MP Full frame sensor. There is 19 months difference between D6 and R3 so we don't expect to see a huge technology difference between these two cameras but it would still give an advantage to younger R3, especially in sensor tech.
Despite some fundamental differences of these two body types, Mirrorless cameras are becoming serious alternatives to DSLR cameras thanks to their size/weight advantages and recent improvements in their focus speeds , which makes this comparison even more interesting. Fortunately, you can't go wrong with any of these cameras as we rank them amongst Top 10 cameras in their classes. Nikon D6 is ranked
#1 out of 36 Pro DSLR cameras with an overall score of 79 whereas Canon R3 is ranked
#5 out of 75 Pro Mirrorless cameras with an overall score of 93.
Here is a brief look at the main features of the Nikon D6 and Canon R3 before getting into our more detailed comparison.
Let's read on in the following sections in order to better understand in detail how the Nikon D6 and Canon R3 compare and hopefully end up with enough arguments to decide which one is better for you.
