The 6D was brought out 10 years earlier than the R6 II and that is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras come with different body type with the Canon 6D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon R6 II being a SLR-style mirrorless camera.

Before getting in to a step-by-step comparison, below is a quick view of how the 6D matches up vs the R6 II with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

Sometimes, it is hard to see the contrast in sensor measurements simply by researching a spec sheet. The graphic underneath might provide you a better sense of the sensor sizing in the 6D and R6 II.

Clearly, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon R6 II to render greater detail having its extra 4 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop pictures much more aggressively. The older 6D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
