Canon R6 II vs Samsung NX30 Sensor Comparison
Generally, it is very hard to visualize the contrast between sensor dimensions just by checking a spec sheet. The picture here might give you a far better sense of the sensor sizing in the R6 II and NX30.
Clearly, both of the cameras have different resolutions and different sensor dimensions. The R6 II featuring a bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow DOF easier and the Canon R6 II will resolve more detail due to its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The younger R6 II should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
