Canon R6 II vs Olympus E-M10 IV Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is hard to imagine the difference in sensor sizing merely by viewing specifications. The visual below will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the R6 II and E-M10 IV.
To sum up, both cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R6 II using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field easier and the Canon R6 II will provide you with greater detail with its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The fresher R6 II should have a benefit when it comes to sensor innovation.
