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, Samsung NX300 has a
20.0MP APS-C (23.5 x 15.7 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features DRIMe IV processor.
Below you can see the T6s and NX300 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Canon T6s and Samsung NX300 Cameras
As seen above, Samsung NX300 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
DxOMark is a benchmark that scientifically assesses image quality of camera sensors. It 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. Canon T6s and Samsung NX300 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that NX300 has a better overall score of 76, 6 points higher compared to T6s's score of 70.

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
Samsung NX300 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
