Sometimes, it is difficult to see the gap between sensor sizing purely by looking at technical specs. The photograph here will provide you a more clear sense of the sensor dimensions in the T6i and K100D S.

As you can tell, each of the cameras feature the identical sensor size albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon T6i to give extra detail as a result of its extra 18MP. Higher resolution can also allow you to crop shots way more aggressively. The younger T6i is going to have an edge when it comes to sensor tech.
