Canon T6i vs Sony A330 Sensor Comparison
More often than not, it is tough to imagine the gap in sensor sizes purely by looking through specifications. The picture below will offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the T6i and A330.
Plainly, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You can anticipate the Canon T6i to render more detail due to its extra 14 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop photos a little more aggressively. The fresher T6i should have an edge when it comes to sensor innovation.
