Canon 1100D vs Canon T6 Sensor Comparison

Usually, it is very difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The pic below should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor sizes in the 1100D and T6.

As you can see, both cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon T6 to offer greater detail having an extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also let you crop photos a little more aggressively. The more aged 1100D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
