All in all, each of these cameras come with the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should expect to see the Canon 500D to provide extra detail due to its extra 9 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics a good deal more aggressively. The newer 500D will have an advantage with regard to sensor innovation.
