Canon 650D vs Canon 6D MII Sensor Comparison

Sometimes, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor sizes purely by reading a spec sheet. The pic here might provide you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 650D and 6D MII.

Clearly, each of the cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 650D featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow DOF harder and the Canon 6D MII will offer extra detail as a result of its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs way more aggressively. The more aged 650D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
