Clearly, the 2 cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor sizes. The T6i having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon T6i will resolve greater detail having an extra 14MP. Greater resolution will help you crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The more recent T6i is going to have a benefit with regard to sensor innovation.
