The T6i was introduced 6 years later than the E-520 and that is a fairly big gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras come with the identical body type (Compact SLR).

Before getting straight into a full comparison, below is a simple overview of how the T6i scores vs the E-520 for portability, imaging, features and an overall rating.

Here is a preview of the gallery photos for Canon EOS Rebel T6i and Olympus E-520. The whole galleries are available at Canon T6i Gallery and Olympus E-520 Gallery.

More often than not, it is tough to picture the difference in sensor sizing only by researching technical specs. The visual underneath should provide you a stronger sense of the sensor measurements in the T6i and E-520.

As you can tell, the 2 cameras have got different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T6i having a bigger sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon T6i will result in more detail using its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution can also help you crop photographs much more aggressively. The newer T6i should have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
