Canon 650D vs Canon T6i Sensor Comparison

Typically, its hard to see the difference in sensor sizing just by researching a spec sheet. The graphic below might offer you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 650D and T6i.

Clearly, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon T6i to provide you with more detail using its extra 6 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The older 650D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
