I bought my wife a Powershot SX510 HS awhile back and I would like to upgrade her to a better camera as she is getting better with her photography. I am thinking about getting the EOS Rebel T6i or T6s. I would like to hear feedback on this.
She really loves the Wifi built in the camera.

I've never owned a Rebel series body but here's a thread by a VERY serious bird photographer who has just about every body or L series lens Canon produces & knows how to use them. He's been testing a T6s lately.

"I am thinking about getting the EOS Rebel T6i or T6s"
Right off the sensor size is worth the upgrade, if she does any amout of cropping. Next you are going to enter into the world of Canon EF or EF-S lenses. Warning, this will just be the beginning if she is truly interested. The accessories are limitless.
When I had a business going I had five Rebels and they worked great. Personally I would get her the T6i.

Being a photo buff for a long time and a "point and shoot" photographer since the digital age dawned I finally step up to a DSLR. I bought a T6i and all I can say is WOW! What a difference it makes. I recommed it highly for an introduction into the DSLR world. I bought the T6i because it's the latest and greatest with WiFi capabilities. If WiFi is not a priority (and a smaller sensor and last generation image processing chip) the the T5 would be a good choice and a little cheaper.

Thanks for the pro and cons, the T6i sounds real good, I know she loves the WiFi.
Thanks again!

I don't think you're right about the sensor size. The T6i has more pixels, and therefore higher resolution, but I think the sensors are the same size on the two cameras. There are both good and bad aspects to cramming more pixels onto a sensor of a given size.

Yes all Rebels have the same size sensor, APS-C. But they have differing pixel count.
The Rebel T6i and T6s have slightly higher density sensors than even the new 5Ds (3.7µm vs. 4.14µm), but the density difference is not big and a camera is a sum of its parts. Not a single spec.

You're right Bob. I ment pixle count not actual sensor size. My bad.
