As you can tell, both of the cameras come with the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon M6 to show more detail having its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also make it easier to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older 1100D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
