Canon R6 II vs Panasonic G2 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes merely by checking out a spec sheet. The pic below might give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the R6 II and G2.
Clearly, the two cameras posses different resolutions and different sensor sizes. The R6 II using its bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon R6 II will show more detail using its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will enable you to crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The younger R6 II provides a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
