Both Sony A6600 and Canon M6 have APS-C sized 24.0 MP resolution sensors so sensor size and resolution is not a differentiator between these two cameras.
Below you can see the A6600 and M6 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A6600 and Canon M6 Cameras
As seen above, Sony A6600 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon M6. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Sony A6600 and Canon M6 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, A6600 has scored 82, 4 points higher than M6.

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 A6600
or the
Canon M6 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
