This is not an apples to apples comparison but if you look at the images, you can see that even the more densely packed 18mp looks useable at ISO 12800. The 18mp at ISO 3200 looks really good compared to the 6mp ISO 3200. If the same technology was applied to the 6mp chip it might look better because it is less dense but that isn't how marketing/technology works. You also get a more advanced AF sensor array with the T2i even though it is entry level.
