Usually, it is very difficult to see the difference between sensor dimensions purely by looking at a spec sheet. The picture here may give you a far better sense of the sensor sizes in the T6i and K-S2.

Clearly, both of the cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but not the same resolution. You should anticipate the Canon T6i to give greater detail using its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also help you crop photos far more aggressively.
