Canon R6 has a
20.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic X processor. On the other hand, Leica M Typ 240 has a
24.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Below you can see the R6 and M Typ 240 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon R6 and Leica M Typ 240 Cameras
Canon R6 and Leica M Typ 240 have the same sensor sizes so they will provide same level of control over the depth of field when used with same focal length and aperture. On the other hand, since Canon R6 has 17% larger pixel area compared to Leica M Typ 240, it has potential to collect more light on pixel level hence have less noise in low light / High ISO images.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Canon R6 and Leica M Typ 240 sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, R6 has scored 90, 6 points higher than M Typ 240.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon R6
or the
Leica M Typ 240 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
