Canon R6 II vs Canon R7 Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizing only by reading through specs. The graphic underneath might give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R6 II and R7.

All in all, each of these cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R6 II because of its larger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R7 will give extra detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively.
