Canon 300D vs Canon T6 Sensor Comparison

Quite often, it can be difficult to picture the gap in sensor sizing only by checking out a spec sheet. The graphic here may offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 300D and T6.

As you can see, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit different resolution. You can expect the Canon T6 to produce extra detail due to its extra 12MP. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures way more aggressively. The older 300D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
