Canon 450D vs Canon T6i

Here is a in-depth review of the Canon 450D and Canon T6i, both Entry-Level DSLR cameras and they are both built by Canon. There exists a significant gap among the sensor resolutions of the 450D (12MP) and T6i (24MP) but they feature the same exact sensor dimensions (APS-C).

The 450D was introduced 7 years prior to the T6i and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Each of the cameras offer the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before getting straight into a more detailed comparison, below is a quick summary of how the 450D matches up against the T6i in relation to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS 450D and Canon EOS Rebel T6i. The whole galleries are available at Canon 450D Gallery and Canon T6i Gallery.

When you are going to carry your camera often, you will need to factor in its weight and volume. The Canon 450D has external dimensions of 129mm x 98mm x 62mm (5.1" x 3.9" x 2.4") and a weight of 524 grams (1.16 lbs) and the Canon T6i has sizing of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") and a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs).

Take into account, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will vary dependant on the lens you are employing at that time. Here is the front view overall size comparison of the 450D versus the T6i.

Using dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the 450D and T6i is 70 and 66 respectively.

More often than not, it is tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizing simply by seeing a spec sheet. The visual underneath should give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the 450D and T6i.

Clearly, both of those cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same MP. You should anticipate the Canon T6i to produce more detail using its extra 12MP. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The older 450D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor innovation.
