Usually, it is tough to envision the difference between sensor dimensions purely by reading a spec sheet. The image here will help give you a clearer sense of the sensor dimensions in the SL2 and T6.
Clearly, the two cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon SL2 to deliver more detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will enable you to crop photos a little more aggressively. The more modern SL2 will have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
