More often than not, its tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizing only by reviewing a spec sheet. The visual here should give you a more clear sense of the sensor sizes in the ELPH 520 HS and 6D MII.

Clearly, both of those cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The ELPH 520 HS because of its tinier sensor is going to make shooting bokeh more challenging and the Canon 6D MII will offer more detail due to its extra 16MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop pictures a good deal more aggressively. The older ELPH 520 HS is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
