Oftentimes, it's difficult to envision the gap in sensor measurements just by going through specs. The graphic below will offer you a better sense of the sensor measurements in the R6 II and G9.
As you can plainly see, both of these cameras provide different resolutions and different sensor measurements. The R6 II with its bigger sensor will make shooting shallower depth of field simpler and the Canon R6 II will provide extra detail using its extra 4MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop pictures more aggressively. The newer R6 II will have an edge in sensor innovation.
