The 450D was announced 8 years prior to the T6 and that is quite a big difference as far as tech is concerned. Both cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before getting through a step-by-step comparison, below is a short synopsis of how the 450D matches up versus the T6 when it comes to portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

The following is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS 450D & Canon EOS T6. The whole galleries are provided at Canon 450D Gallery & Canon T6 Gallery.

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at technical specs. The visual below will help give you a stronger sense of the sensor sizing in the 450D and T6.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different MP. You can expect the Canon T6 to give you extra detail with its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also allow you to crop shots somewhat more aggressively. The older 450D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
