Hi, I am wondering if there is a big difference in image quality between the R6 and the R6 mark II, if we take into account the new 24 MP sensor?

I plan to do more prints of my photos and am looking for a new camera, considering the R6 and R6 mark II.

No there won't be much difference at all between the two.  The resolutions and overall image quality are very close.  In a blind test, you'd probably never accurately pick which is which.

These cameras can print fantastic quality up to about 20x30 inches in my opinion.  That's assuming no cropping and a sharp lens with everything "done right" to get the best image you can.  Larger sizes are certainly possible, but 20x30 is right on the fringe of where you'd start to see an appreciable difference when looking up close with say 45+ megapixels.

So if great 20x30 prints (and 'only' very good prints at larger sizes) are satisfactory, then you should be pleased with either of these cameras.
