Canon 6D MII vs Panasonic G9 Sensor Comparison

					

					

						
In many cases, its tough to picture the gap in sensor sizes purely by researching specs. The picture here might give you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D MII and G9.
All in all, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6D MII having a larger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF easier and the Canon 6D MII will provide you with greater detail having an extra 6MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop pics much more aggressively.
