Leica M10 has a
24.0MP Full frame (35.8 x 23.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Maestro II processor. On the other hand, Canon R6 has a
20.0MP Full frame (36 x 24 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic X processor.
Below you can see the M10 and R6 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Leica M10 and Canon R6 Cameras
Leica M10 and Canon R6 have almost the same sensor size, so neither of them has any significant advantage over the other in terms of providing control over depth of field when used with the same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It 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. Leica M10 and Canon R6 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that R6 has a better overall score of 90, 4 points higher compared to M10's score of 86.

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
Leica M10
or the
Canon R6 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
