Quite often, it's tough to visualize the gap in sensor sizes just by looking through a spec sheet. The image here will give you a clearer sense of the sensor measurements in the T6 and P500.

As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy different megapixel count and different sensor sizes. The T6 due to its larger sensor is going to make getting shallower depth of field easier and the Canon T6 will provide you with more detail due to its extra 6MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop photos far more aggressively. The fresher T6 should have an advantage when it comes to sensor innovation.
