Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Nikon Z6 is significantly lighter (440g ) than the Canon R1 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 Nikon Z6 and Canon R1 have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Both the Z6 and the R1 have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Nikon Z6 and Canon R1's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.20 inches.
Nikon Z6 features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon R1 sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
