Canon T6i vs Fujifilm S8500

Let's take a more detailed look at the Canon T6i vs Fujifilm S8500, one is a Entry-Level DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by rivals Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a huge gap between the image resolutions of the T6i (24MP) and Fujifilm S8500 (16MP) and the T6i (APS-C) and Fujifilm S8500 (1/2.3") come with different sensor size.

Quite often, it's hard to imagine the contrast between sensor sizes simply by going over a spec sheet. The picture below will give you a far better sense of the sensor dimensions in the T6i and Fujifilm S8500.

As you can see, both the cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The T6i with its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallower depth of field easier and the Canon T6i will deliver greater detail using its extra 8MP. Greater resolution will allow you to crop photos far more aggressively. The more recent T6i should have a benefit in sensor technology.
