I'm choosing between the Canon EOS 700D and Canon EOS 6D to use with the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM for jewelry photography. Does the camera body itself make a noticeable difference in image quality with this lens, and how does the APS-C sensor in the 700D compare with the full-frame 6D for this kind of close-up work?

Yes, the body can affect the result because these cameras use different sensor sizes. The EOS 6D is full frame, while the EOS 700D is APS-C with a 1.6x crop factor. With the same 100mm macro lens, the 700D gives a tighter field of view, which can make small subjects like jewelry appear larger in the frame. That can be helpful for close-up product shots.

So the difference is less about the lens changing and more about how each sensor records the image. Based on the community answer, for jewelry photography the 700D may be the more practical choice if you want greater apparent magnification in-camera. The 6D will show a wider view with the same lens.

No, only because the 6D is a full frame camera, whereas the 700D is a APS-C 1.6x camera.

For jewelry photography I would say go for the 700D, as it would provide 1.6x larger images.
