As you have seen, both cameras provide the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same MP. You should count on the Canon 760D to offer greater detail because of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop pictures more aggressively. The older 500D is going to be behind with regard to sensor technology.
