As you can tell, the 2 cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different resolution. You can anticipate the Canon 700D to result in greater detail having its extra 10 Megapixels. Greater resolution will make it easier to crop images somewhat more aggressively. The older 30D will be disadvantaged in sensor innovation.
