The R8 was brought out 4 years after the Z6 which is a fairly significant gap as far as camera tech is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (SLR-style mirrorless).

Before getting right into a detailed comparison, here is a quick introduction of how the R8 matches up vs the Z6 in terms of portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

This is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS R8 and Nikon Z6. The entire galleries are provided at Canon R8 Gallery and Nikon Z6 Gallery.

If you are going to travel with your camera often, you will have to take into account its weight and proportions.

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the difference in sensor dimensions merely by researching technical specs. The pic underneath might provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the R8 and Z6.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Nikon Z6 to result in more detail having its extra 1MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a bit more aggressively. The fresher R8 will have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
