Canon SL2 vs Canon T6i

Let's take a closer look at the Canon SL2 and Canon T6i, both Entry-Level DSLR digital cameras and both are built by Canon. The sensor resolution of the SL2 (24MP) and the T6i (24MP) is fairly similar and both cameras offer the same sensor size (APS-C).

The SL2 was released 2 years after the T6i which is quite a sizable gap as far as technology is concerned. Each of these cameras have the same body design (Compact SLR).

Before delving right into a in-depth comparison, here is a quick highlight of how the SL2 grades vs the T6i with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS Rebel SL2 and Canon EOS Rebel T6i. The complete galleries are viewable at Canon SL2 Gallery and Canon T6i Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera, you should factor its weight and size. The Canon SL2 comes with physical measurements of 122mm x 93mm x 70mm (4.8" x 3.7" x 2.8") and a weight of 453 grams (1.00 lbs) while the Canon T6i has specifications of 132mm x 101mm x 78mm (5.2" x 4.0" x 3.1") and a weight of 555 grams (1.22 lbs).

Always remember, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ depending on the lens you are using at that moment. Underneath is a front view scale comparison of the SL2 and the T6i.

Taking into consideration dimensions and weight, the portability score of the SL2 and T6i is 71 and 66 respectively.

Normally, it can be difficult to see the difference between sensor sizes merely by reviewing specifications. The image here might provide you a more clear sense of the sensor sizing in the SL2 and T6i.

Plainly, both of those cameras provide the same sensor dimensions and the same resolution therefore you should expect similar quality of photographs though you should really take the production date of the products into consideration. The more recent SL2 will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
