Canon R10 vs Nikon Z6 II Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
In many cases, its tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing merely by seeing a spec sheet. The visual here should offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R10 and Z6 II.
As you can see, both of the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R10 using its smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF harder and the Nikon Z6 II will show extra detail with its extra 1 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures far more aggressively. The fresher R10 provides an advantage in sensor tech.
