Typically, it's hard to picture the difference between sensor sizes just by looking at a spec sheet. The picture below might provide you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 1D MII N and R6.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 1D MII N because of its tinier sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field more challenging and the Canon R6 will resolve more detail as a result of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also let you crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged 1D MII N is going to be behind in sensor technology.
