The sensor resolution of M9-P is greater than that of R6. However, the difference of 2 MP is not very significant. The more megapixels the camera has, the more detailed and clear the picture will be. The number of megapixels will also affect the maximum size of the photos, which then can be printed without loss of quality.
At the second camera (R6), the minimum ISO value is lower, which gives more opportunities for shooting in daylight. A larger maximum ISO allows you to take good pictures in the dark. At Canon R6, the maximum ISO is greater by 99900. R6 has image stabilization(5-axis Sensor-shift), M9-P doesn’t, it is a big minus. Canon R6 has a larger 3-inch Fully Articulated screen, the other camera has a 2-inch Fixed screen.
M9-P has optical (rangefinder) viewfinder, and the R6 doesn’t have. Viewfinder R6 has a higher resolution of 3690k dots, M9-P has a resolution of no electronic viewfinderk dots. Burst mode, also called continuous shooting mode, sports mode or continuous high speed mode, is a shooting mode in still cameras. Leica M9-P has 12.0 fps continuous shooting.
