As you can see, the 2 cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing albeit different megapixels. You should expect the Nikon D7200 to give greater detail because of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also make it easier to crop photographs far more aggressively. The more aged 100D is going to be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
