Sony A350 has a
14.0MP APS-C (23.6 x 15.8 mm ) sized CCD sensor . On the other hand, Canon T6 has a
18.0MP APS-C (22.3 x 14.9 mm ) sized CMOS sensor and features Digic 4+ processor.
Below you can see the A350 and T6 sensor size comparison.
Sensor Size and Resolution Comparison image of Sony A350 and Canon T6 Cameras
As seen above, Sony A350 has a 1.1x Larger sensor area than Canon T6. 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. Sony A350 and Canon T6 sensors have been tested by DxO and the results show that T6 has a better overall score of 66, 1 points higher compared to A350's score of 65.

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
Sony A350
or the
Canon T6 ,
including hyperfocal distance.
