Often, it is difficult to imagine the difference in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The photograph below will help provide you a greater sense of the sensor sizes in the 40D and T7i.

As you have seen, both the cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit different resolution. You should count on the Canon T7i to provide you with more detail as a result of its extra 14 Megapixels. Higher resolution will allow you to crop photographs more aggressively. The older 40D will be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
