As you can plainly see, both of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You can count on the Canon 80D to deliver more detail having its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also let you crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The older 600D is going to be behind with regard to sensor innovation.
