Clearly, each of these cameras come with different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The T6 due to its larger sensor is going to make achieving shallow depth of field less difficult and the Canon T6 will show greater detail due to its extra 4 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also make it easier to crop images a good deal more aggressively. The fresher T6 should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
