As you can plainly see, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements albeit not the same megapixels. You should count on the Canon T6s to provide you with extra detail having its extra 4MP. Higher resolution will also enable you to crop pictures somewhat more aggressively. The younger T6s will have an edge when it comes to sensor technology.
