Watch the video covering the differences here:

I used my Canon T2i for more than 10 years before I got myself a dedicated astro cam, the ZWO ASI533MC Pro. While I work on a full review of the astro cam, I thought I'd do a quick comparison between the two cameras of the field of view and the amount of noise. I think the comparison at 1:30 of the video is pretty cool since you can clearly see the difference in sensor size as well as the clear difference in noise between the two.
I often make astronomy videos on YouTube if anyone's interested:
