Its time to take a closer look at the Canon 60D vs Canon T6i, one being a Advanced DSLR and the latter is a Entry-Level DSLR and they are both produced by Canon. There is a sizeable difference between the resolutions of the 60D (18MP) and T6i (24MP) but they come with the same exact sensor size (APS-C).

The 60D was launched 5 years before the T6i and that is quite a large gap as far as tech is concerned. The two cameras offer different body type with the Canon 60D being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Canon T6i being a Compact SLR camera.

Before going through a detailed comparison, below is a brief synopsis of how the 60D scores vs the T6i for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

This is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS 60D and Canon EOS Rebel T6i. The complete galleries are available at Canon 60D Gallery and Canon T6i Gallery.

Generally, it is difficult to see the contrast between sensor sizing only by looking at specs. The graphic below will help give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the 60D and T6i.

All in all, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon T6i to resolve greater detail utilizing its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also enable you to crop shots far more aggressively. The older 60D is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
