Normally, its difficult to picture the contrast in sensor sizing merely by looking through a spec sheet. The photograph below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R6 II and GH2.

As you can see, each of these cameras feature different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The R6 II using its larger sensor is going to make shooting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R6 II will result in extra detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will also let you crop pics way more aggressively. The more recent R6 II should have an advantage in sensor tech.
