Low light & noise
EOS Rebel T6
4.5 µm pixels
18 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 6,400
D3400
3.9 µm pixels
24.2 MP on a aps-c sensor, ISO up to 25,600
Bigger pixels gather more light each, so they tend to show less noise at high ISO, but sensor design matters as much. For real noise at ISO 6400, these sites measure it:
