Sony FX6 has a
10.9MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor . On the other hand, Canon EOS C70 has a
8.9MP Super 35 (26.2 x 13.8 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the FX6 and C70 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony FX6 and Canon EOS C70 Cameras
As seen above, Sony FX6 has a 2.4x Larger sensor area than Canon EOS C70. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Sony FX6
or the
Canon EOS C70 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
One thing to watch when comparing these two: they have different sensor sizes
(Full frame versus Super 35),
so compare them at the same framing rather than the same focal length.
Put the same focal length on the smaller sensor and it will show less depth of
field, not more, because it also crops tighter. The calculator shows the
full frame equivalent focal length for each body so you can match the framing.
