The R6II is better in every way, except for a little resolution, which I'm not really noticing so far.

not surprising per Bryan at the digital picture

The problem with that comparison is that it uses different lenses. I tried, but couldn't find, a comparison with the same lens on that site.

oops, sorry about that link above

actually Bryan has done the comparison with one lens and many canon cameras

he uses the RF 85 F1.2 (non-ds)

check this link, and then change the various cameras

Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM Lens Image Quality (the-digital-picture.com)

Thanks (I don't know why I didn't find that when I looked before). The R6II does look a bit sharper there. It would be good if there were a way to equalize output size (like the compare option on the DPR comparometer), but I think it's possible to tell from that comparison that the R6II produces slightly sharper results, despite having a lower resolution sensor. But, frankly, the difference in resolution between 30MP and 24MP is pretty insignificant anyway. Differences like that are really just psychological. Even the much bigger difference between 24MP and 45MP is still only 37% in terms of linear resolution.
