Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Sony A9 II is 2g lighter than the Canon R6 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon R6 II and Sony A9 II have the same Full frame sized sensor, their lenses for a similar focal length and aperture will be similar in size and weight.
Weather Sealing
Both the R6 II and the A9 Mark II have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R6 II and Sony A9 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.00 inches.
Sony A9 II features a
Tilting-only screen which is mostly only good for shooting from waist or over-the-head levels. On the other hand, Canon R6 II sports a
Fully Articulated screen which is more flexible and useful, especially for taking selfies and video.
