Canon 5D MII vs Canon T7i Sensor Comparison

Oftentimes, it is very tough to visualize the difference between sensor dimensions only by reading technical specs. The pic here should give you a better sense of the sensor sizes in the 5D MII and T7i.

As you have seen, the two cameras posses different megapixel count and different sensor dimensions. The 5D MII using its larger sensor is going to make achieving bokeh easier and the Canon T7i will offer you extra detail because of its extra 3MP. Greater resolution will also enable you to crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged 5D MII is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor tech.
