You sound like a good candidate for the SL2. It has a menu system that can be tailored for the beginner to the expert. The sensor has more mega pixels than the T6 and delivers better image quality across the board. AYour choice of lens for telephoto might not be the best. The cheaper Canon 75- 300mm zoom lenses are terrible. Also, the T6 is using very old technology so you are essentially using a camera that is not going to deliver the results of the SL2, T7i etc.

If you had bought the SL2 and EF-S 55-250mm STM lens then you probably would be much more pleased with the results. This combination would allow you to crop your images and possible get close to the same, or better, results than you see from the Sony superzoom you use at its longer telephoto lengths. Up to 400mm (equivalent) it will destroy the results from the Sony.

What model of 75-300mm lens are you using?  Depending on what version it is you would see big improvements replacing it with the EF-S 55-250mm STM lens.  It is important to buy the STM version of this lens as the older version are not as good.
