Typically, it is very tough to visualise the gap in sensor sizes purely by seeing specifications. The picture underneath may give you a greater sense of the sensor measurements in the 600D and 70D.

Plainly, both of the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon 70D to show greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop images way more aggressively. The more aged 600D will be behind when it comes to sensor tech.
