Often, it can be tough to envision the contrast between sensor sizes just by reviewing a spec sheet. The pic below will give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the 6D MII and FZ300.

Clearly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The 6D MII using its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon 6D MII will deliver more detail with its extra 14MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The newer 6D MII will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
