Usually, it is very hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements only by looking through technical specs. The graphic below should offer you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the 500D and T7i.

As you can tell, both of those cameras offer the same exact sensor sizing but not the same megapixels. You can expect to see the Canon T7i to provide you with extra detail due to its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop pics a little more aggressively. The older 500D will be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
