Plainly, each of these cameras have the same sensor dimensions albeit not the same resolution. You should count on the Canon T7 to produce greater detail as a result of its extra 6MP. Higher resolution will also help you crop photographs a bit more aggressively. The more aged 550D will be behind in sensor tech.
