As you have seen, each of the cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Nikon D7500 to provide greater detail because of its extra 15 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 10D will be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
