Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i Sensor Reviews and Test Results

DxOMark published their sensor review and test results for the Canon EOS Rebel T6s (760D) & T6i (750D) APS-C digital SLR cameras.

The Canon EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) sensor review shows the camera achieved a score of 71 points while the Canon EOS 760D (Rebel T6s) gets 70 points which is a bit better than the EOS 70D and EOS 7D Mark II.

Canon EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) also becomes the first Canon APS-C format camera to offer 12-stop dynamic range.

Canon EOS Rebel T6s and T6i Gets DxOMarked

Canon EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) vs EOS 70D vs EOS 7D Mk II: Wide DR though the ISO range

Canon EOS 760D (Rebel T6s) vs. Canon EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) vs. EOS 700D (Rebel T5i):  Impressive improvement in DR over predecessor

Canon EOS 750D (Rebel T6i) conclusion from DxOMark:

As an entry-level model the Canon EOS 750D (T6i) makes some compromises in layout and controls — for example, there’s no top plate LCD as found on the EOS 760D (T6s), but sensor performance is on par with the camera maker’s mid- and high-end models, the EOS 70D and the recently-introduced EOS 7D Mk II. While it’s true that the Canon sensors are behind the very best APS-C models in terms of low ISO performance (particularly noticeable when comparing dynamic range), the company is making some noteworthy advances.

Canon EOS 760D (Rebel T6s) conclusion from DxOMark:

While it’s not our place to discuss why Canon should choose to introduce two models that vary mostly by their controls (although the 760D’s tracking AF capability in live view is likely a worthwhile feature), the sensor performance for the EOS 760D is intriguing. Canon has made significant advances over the previous generation sensor, particularly with regard to low ISO noise levels and improved dynamic range. While sensor performance is still behind the very best APS-C models, Canon appears to be taking up the challenge set by Sony, and while it’s still got some way to go, that has to be good news for the consumer.
