Canon T6s vs Panasonic LX100 II Sensor Comparison

More often than not, it is very difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizing purely by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath will give you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the T6s and LX100 II.

Clearly, both the cameras come with different megapixel count and different sensor sizing. The T6s because of its bigger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon T6s will offer you greater detail as a result of its extra 7MP. Higher resolution will allow you to crop shots a good deal more aggressively. The older T6s is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
