As you can see, each of the cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The M6 MII having a tinier sensor will make achieving shallower DOF trickier and the Canon M6 MII will give greater detail because of its extra 15MP. Higher resolution will help you crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more recent M6 MII will have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
