More often than not, it is very hard to envision the difference between sensor measurements just by looking at a spec sheet. The graphic below will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the M6 MII and ZV-E1.

Clearly, both the cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The M6 MII featuring a tinier sensor will make achieving shallow depth of field harder and the Canon M6 MII will resolve more detail utilizing its extra 21MP. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The older M6 MII is going to be behind with regard to sensor tech.
