What is "default" for a Canon? My M6 has "auto" and "standard" picture styles, among others. I can't remember which one was set "out of the box". In the old days, it would have been the standard one, but now, I suspect that it's auto. Or at least, it's probably auto in some settings and standard in others. But I can't remember what position the mode selector dial was in when I took the camera out of the box, so I don't know which picture style it would have set. As far as I know, on "auto" the picture style the camera uses depends on what kind of scene it thinks it's shooting. So, in your example, auto might have given the landscape style, or it might have given the portrait style.

The default appears to be "auto" picture style for the Canon sample. I did factory resets and left the cameras to their own devices.

Thanks. So what was the mode dial set to? Was it a green box mode, P, or something else?

Edit: I see you said the apertures were roughly equivalent, but everything else was auto. Does that mean you used Av mode, and auto ISO? If the picture style was "auto", it would be interesting to know whether the camera selected landscape or portrait (or something else) for that shot. I don't suppose there's anyway to tell?

Yes, Av mode.  I checked the EXIF on the original and I don't see any indication of picture style.
