Canon T6s has a
24.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DIGIC 6 processor. On the other hand, Nikon D2Xs has a
12.0MP APS-C (23.7 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor .
Canon T6s's sensor provides 12MP more than Nikon D2Xs's sensor, which gives a significant advantage in real life. You can print your images larger or crop more freely.
On the other hand, please keep in mind that Max sensor resolution is not the only determinant of resolving power. Factors such as the optical elements, low pass filter, pixel size and sensor technology also affects the final resolution of the captured image.
Below you can see the T6s and D2Xs sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon T6s and Nikon D2Xs Cameras
As seen above, Nikon D2Xs has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon T6s. Larger sensors give photographer more control on the depth of field and blurry background compared to smaller sensor when shot in same focal length and aperture.
DxOMark Sensor Scores
Both Canon T6s and Nikon D2Xs sensors have been tested by DxoMark. DxoMark scores camera sensors for color depth (DXO Portrait), dynamic range (DXO Landscape) and low-light sensitivity (DXO Sports), and also gives them an overall score. Of the two cameras that we are comparing, T6s has scored 70, 11 points higher than D2Xs.

Sensor size sets the circle of confusion, so it drives how much depth of field each
of these bodies gives you at a given aperture. You can calculate it exactly for the
Canon T6s
or the
Nikon D2Xs ,
including hyperfocal distance.
