To sum up, both of these cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same resolution. You can count on the Canon T6s to give you more detail because of its extra 12MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs somewhat more aggressively. The more modern T6s will have a benefit with regard to sensor tech.
