More often than not, it can be tough to picture the contrast in sensor sizes merely by going through specifications. The image here will offer you a better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 6D and SD14.
Plainly, each of the cameras provide different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The 6D using its larger sensor is going to make shooting bokeh less difficult and the Canon 6D will provide more detail with its extra 15MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop images more aggressively. The newer 6D should have a benefit in sensor innovation.
