To sum up, both of those cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same megapixels. You should expect the Canon T6s to give you greater detail having its extra 14MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The older 400D is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
