The 1100D was released 4 years before the T6s which is a fairly sizable difference as far as camera technology is concerned. Both cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before diving straight into a thorough comparison, below is a short introduction of how the 1100D scores versus the T6s when considering portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 1100D & Canon EOS Rebel T6s. The complete galleries are provided at Canon 1100D Gallery & Canon T6s Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you're going to have to factor its weight and proportions.

Do not forget, the weight of an ILC will differ dependant on the lens you use at the time. Following is the front view sizing comparison of the 1100D versus the T6s.

Typically, it can be hard to see the difference in sensor sizes merely by looking through specs. The pic here might give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1100D and T6s.

All in all, both of these cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same resolution. You can expect the Canon T6s to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 12 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots a little more aggressively. The more aged 1100D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
