The MKII is certainly capable, honestly from the samples posted i do fee this new sensor is not an update from canons 24mp in terms of sharpness, DR and high ISO.

It's definitely an improvement in terms of DR and high ISO. I've had the M6 for a couple of years, so I'm in a pretty good position to judge. In my case, I don't have to rely on feelings that come from seeing what others post. I have my own M6 and M6II to compare. As for sharpness, that's a property of lenses, not sensors. A sharp lens will give a sharp result with the M6II, as with the M6. If you were talking about detail, as opposed to sharpness, then you will get more detail with the M6II than with the M6. No surprise there. It has more MP.

Would you be able to do a direct comparison? Since you have both.

I dont, so all i can comment on are on the pictures posted here or the DPR tool.

Doesn't something like this from the DPR tool give you that comparison? Clear difference, and it is even more pronounced if you choose JPEG.

I find that difference to be incredibly small, for an 8mpx increase. It might be diminishing returns, or it may be the lenses indeed.
