As you can see, both cameras have different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The 10D using its smaller sensor is going to make achieving shallower DOF tougher and the Canon R6 will provide more detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop pictures a bit more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be behind with regard to sensor technology.
