The R6 II was announced 4 years after the Z6 which is quite a significant gap as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving through a more detailed comparison, below is a short highlight of how the R6 II scores vs the Z6 when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Below is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS R6 Mark II and Nikon Z6. The whole galleries are provided at Canon R6 II Gallery and Nikon Z6 Gallery.

Often, it is very difficult to envision the gap between sensor sizes merely by reading through a spec sheet. The pic here might offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 II and Z6.

As you can see, each of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Nikon Z6 to resolve extra detail with its extra 1MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The more modern R6 II is going to have an edge with regard to sensor tech.
