Sony A7 has a
24.0MP Full frame (35.8 x 23.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Bionz X 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 A7 and R6 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A7 and Canon R6 Cameras
Sony A7 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.

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
Sony A7
or the
Canon R6 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
