To sum up, both the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The R6 II due to its bigger sensor is going to make getting shallower DOF simpler and the Canon R6 II will show extra detail having its extra 8MP. Higher resolution will make it easier to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger R6 II should have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
