Usually, it can be tough to visualise the contrast in sensor measurements simply by looking through technical specs. The graphic below will give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizes in the 50D and 700D.

As you can tell, both the cameras feature the identical sensor size but not the same megapixels. You should anticipate the Canon 700D to result in more detail using its extra 3 Megapixels. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop images way more aggressively. The older 50D will be disadvantaged in sensor technology.
