Canon 500D vs Canon T7 Sensor Comparison

Typically, it is very difficult to picture the difference in sensor dimensions purely by researching technical specs. The image here will offer you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the 500D and T7.

As you have seen, the 2 cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements albeit different resolution. You should count on the Canon T7 to render greater detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Higher resolution can also help you crop shots much more aggressively. The more aged 500D will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
