The R6 was brought out 7 years after the G6 which is quite a large difference as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before delving straight to a thorough comparison, here is a simple synopsis of how the R6 matches up against the G6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pics for Canon EOS R6 & Panasonic Lumix DMC-G6. The entire galleries are available at Canon R6 Gallery & Panasonic G6 Gallery.

Sometimes, its difficult to imagine the difference between sensor sizes simply by reading through technical specs. The picture below will provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the R6 and G6.

As you have seen, each of the cameras have different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The R6 because of its larger sensor is going to make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon R6 will give more detail having its extra 4MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a bit more aggressively. The younger R6 should have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
