To sum up, both cameras offer different megapixels and different sensor sizing. The T6s having a bigger sensor will make achieving shallow DOF less difficult and the Canon T6s will give more detail because of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop shots a little more aggressively. The younger T6s will have an advantage with regard to sensor tech.
