Oftentimes, it can be tough to picture the contrast between sensor sizes just by reading through technical specs. The image here will help provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the R and R6 II.

As you can tell, both cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should expect the Canon R to resolve greater detail as a result of its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop pictures much more aggressively. The more aged R is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
